I have this knife, and was curious if anyone knows about it. The interesting blue blade says BOKER GERMANY TI-BLADE.. It has carbon fiber handle and is about 4.2" closed. I have come up blank on internet searches. I figure is is late 1990s production. Thanks in advance!

A visible photo would help.

Thanks, I edited the post. I'm trying to figure out how to add a photo (my son added the prior one).
 
I believe that might be a knock-off version of a Boker Super Liner. As far as I know they never offered that blade finish or carbon fiber scales on that model. The originals also had chamfered handle scales and nicer finish overall.

The only photo I can find of a knife like yours is on a website I won't link here. It's a wash with clones and gast station knives.
 
Interesting. Thanks for the reply. Of note, this knife came from the same person from whom I've received (and sold in a previous life) dozens of William Henrys, Chris Reeves, Benchmades, Lone Wolfs, Bucks, Case, Spydercos, Kershaws, and other brands, so I would be shocked if it was a knock off. If it is a knock off, it is put together as well as other Bokers I have had. With that said, I've had problems finding anything on this one since I got it, albeit my former supplier did have a lot of custom knives from producer brands, as one of their relatives did a lot of work installing stone handles, inlays, etc. for various companies. It's been years since I've bought or sold a knife due to kids, work and coaching baseball. I guess I'll keep this in the display case, as I don't want someone buying it if it is not legit. Again, thank you for the comments.

I think it may be legit. See this thread for some info.

I was going to say the finish looks like it was galvanized.
Don't get me wrong, looks great.
OK to use with food ? If one were to ever turn it into a user.

Nice find! That explains why it never showed up in my searches.

Odd that they'd give it a different name since it's clearly just a variant of the superliner. Can you imagine what the market would be like if every variant of a knife had a unique name? Trying to remember each individual name for the million versions of PM2s.

That's good news for the OP. Cool little blade. I was a fan of the superliner.
 
Thanks for that link. When I clicked as saw the photo, I realized I used to have that display case but lost in in the move. Thanks to you and the forum for the help!
