Boker 909?! have heard anything about it?

[Ademar]

While looking for a necker have come across a pretty nice mini fixed blade knife named as Boker 909. At the very moment began searching any information about the model but in vain. I dont know it is a genuine Boker made stuff or a product of another copycat but I liked it so much that decided even to order one.

I attach a picture of the knife and you may agree with me that the model definitely looks much better than those models of Gnome or even Rhino.

here is a descriprion:
total lenght:12.7cm
blade lenght:6cm
blade thickness:5mm
blade widht:3cm
blade material:7cr17
handle:antler
hardness:58HRC
weight:140g



Your opinions please.

Haven't seen a 909 before. That looks a lot like the 503HH, except for the blade grind.
I think it's Boker, made in Argentina most likely. I have a few of the arbolitos and they are great knives!

According to the pictures it is made in Taiwan. As far as I know no knife of Boker main line is produced outside Germany/Argentina. So very strange thing it is.

It looks to me like a Chinese company stealing the Boker name, but it also looks like a GREAT little fixed blade! (there's a good chance that's the correct steel though, as that is a Chinese series.) Please let us know what you think when you get yours! I'm considering buying one now!

The Taiwan tangstamp is confusing though, because I know you can get it shipped from CHINA...?

It is a counterfeit, not a Boker.
