Boker annual damascus collector edition reviews and pictures

[lai77120]

Hi, are there any owners of the annual damascus editions out there?
Recently I've got myself a 2011 edition, the price seem reasonable for the material used (fits and finishes are average), but cannot find any reviews on them.
The dealer still have a few of them going back to 1980s. So I might buy more but will appreciated any inputs from anyone who is more knowledgeable on these rather interesting (and under appreciated) knives.

Photos are welcomed.

Hello there lai77120: I have the entire series - from 1980 up through around 2007 (cannot remember last one purchased) I know pictures and descriptions are available on the German Boker site, or at least they were a couple of years back. The first couple of years the edition was limited to 500 knives, I believe. I have been contemplating selling my collection, but have not gotten around to photographing them all and/or posting them on line. The collection has a wide variety of styles and materials, but all are made with the finest materials and craftsmanship, to be sure. I have really enjoyed my collection, if only to take them out of the safe once a year to clean and polish. None of mine have ever been used or sharpened.
