Boker BO55: Is this real?

[Jerickson]

My son's grandpa gave him this knife, and he asked me to help him figure out what it was. We are confused, because every search result with this knife is in Russian. I the opinion of you folks, is this real? Is it a fake? Any details or help would be greatly appreciated! It's an assisted opening model, with what I think are aluminum handles.

Maybe it is an older Boker Plus model from before they had their Magnum line?

Yea, I really have no idea. I just starting feeling something’s fishy when I couldn’t find a single example in English—only Russian.

It's a fake. In Russia, it is sold only by stores that we do not trust.

Böker Manufaktur is made in Solingen, the PLUS models models are made else in the world.
So its a fake

Thanks for the replies, everyone! It’s a bummer, but better to know the truth.
