Boker Damascus II

[travisstrick]

Hi all,

My dad gave me this knife a few days ago. I know he bought it from some guy at a flea market in Pensacola, FL but thats it. I cant seem to find it online. I'd love to know anything you guys can shed some light on(except price and value).

Beautiful knife. It is a limited edition with the # 318 in the series of a likely 999. It is a Trapper pattern. Likely made in the late 1980s. Boker came out with Dam. I, II, III and IV about every few years back then. The pointed blade is called a clip blade and the unusual tipped is called a spey blade, I think. If it is what I think it is, the scales are natural smooth bovine bone and the bolsters are nickel silver. Value would be to a collector and would depend on condition of knife, if it was ever sharpened, etc. The market these days does not value these as much as they should.
I have two: one a smooth white natural bone and one is a jigged grey bone; both are in new condition.
It is a nice knife to start a collection around.
