Very interesting that Boker copied Remington on those scout/utility type knives!
All part of the struggles between them I guess!
Cutleries are still making Remington patterns, both authorized and not!!![]()
Just to follow through on that last statement I made,
Remington 1123;

Back to Boker!!!
Wow Charlie- That Remington 1123, considered the Icon! and what an example my friend!
Herder Sir, whilst rummaging around the other day I cam across this Boker- unfortunately not the most outstanding Boker by any means, but its a formidable large Knife.
A later model Boker, Nice Bone, Nice steel - man this thing sharpens up to be a Razor I can tell you!
this Knife was a turning point for me in many respects- which is another story, but its a great edc as I do like to carry Larger Knives - along of course with a front Pocket friendly Slippy......

Thanks for the compliment, herder!! I really value your opinion!!Back to Boker in a bit...
Only after looking over the nicest Remington Bullet 1123 that I have ever seen, wow!!!![]()
I remember that one well Duncan, a very nice regardless of the ever so slight bend to it...character I tell you, in a way it's a green light to carry although I don't need a green lightOh to be a fly on the wall during the negotiations concerning That Knife Charlie and Mike!
4 & 1/2 inches closed Charlie Sir.
That Boker is the Knife that we all shared discussion over, and like I said a valuable Knife in Lesson and a great EDC! Bill Howard actually had a very good long look at this Knife! thinking that it wasn't finished from Factory!
So to let those in on who don't know too much about this Boker- I bought it at Queens last Vintage Knife show before their unfortunate demise - while Paul and I were attending the 2016 GEC Rendezvous with a great meet up with lots of our other friends from here in BF- it was simply an amazing trip of fellowship.
I was kinda the fresh kid out of New Zealand, and the leash was let off - this knife wasnt a lot of money- I literally picked it up- opened it fairly quickly and put it aside with some very nice Scouts I did manage to choose well, the realisation that the knife was bent later was a blow, but I enjoy it more now that what I would do if it were Queened I have to be honest, now dont get me wrong- you dont place it on the bench and it see-saws away like a Banana - but a simple eye down the Liners tell the story, the story not detrimental enough to hurt the Walk and Talk of this beast!
Guys - don't back pocket your big Folders - they bend when you have a seat - believe it as its happened more than once!

This is the only boker traditional I own. I do have a 145 anniversary limited edition cocobolo knife but I was told it's not a traditional so I wouldn't share it here. It's a beautiful representation of bokers German craftsmanship. Hope I'm still alive to see there 200 year mark.
I remember that one well Duncan, a very nice regardless of the ever so slight bend to it...character I tell you, in a way it's a green light to carry although I don't need a green lightSurprised that the bone didn't crack from the bend, that's how slight it is
Admission of guilt here, I carry big folders all the time in my back pocket with never a bend. I'm thinking that if you have a big butt, you'll be just fine![]()
I have this German Boker Premium Stock Knife that I don't know anything about. The frost etch on the front is a bit unclear. Originally thought it was 6065 but it appears the number is 6085. It has very nice stag covers and the knife itself has seen little use, but appears to have been subjected to some poorly executed sharpening attempts. Nevertheless, excellent F&F, excellent blade action. Cllosed length is four inches. Any ballpark estimations of age?
