Boker Double Tree

[rprocter]

i am looking at a boker DT congress with stag handle for $135 at an online store. steel is just listed as stainless. i called the dealer but he did not know which steel, or if this knife is more of a "looker" than a good working knife. i would appreciate hearing from boker owners about these knives and the double tree line in particular. thanks.

i think all stainless böker traditional patterns use 420hc or something quite similar, not sure tho

I had a Boker stag stockman a few years back. It had 440C etched on the blade. It was a good cutting knife. My older boy is still using it. :thumbup:

Boker uses a wide variety of steels, such as 440C, ATS34, 1095, damascus and sometimes its just "soligen" or "rostfrei" If AGRussell sells it and the steel is known, he usually identifies the steel in his on-line catalog.

Has anyone ever handled the Boker Trapperliner?, it looks like an interesting knife, just wondering if anyone had any opinions on it.
