Boker Plus Hawkbill slipjoint?

How is the quality of these knives, and what are they traditionally used for?

The Boker Plus line of slipjoints with plastic (Delrin/acetal? Acrylic?) scales are excellent. I have a couple lockbacks and a couple variations of Stockman (mini and punch). Really good F&F, good steel, excellent value. Nicer than Rough Rider level workmanship, IMO. Just a more limited lineup.

what are they traditionally used for?

Here are a few of the uses: pruning and harvesting fruits and vegetables, budding and grafting, skinning electrical wire, breaking down cardboard, cutting drywall, barking sticks for cane and walking-stick making, cutting carpet and vinyl flooring . . . . . .
There are probably a few more uses to add to the list. The agricultural uses are the most traditional ones.


To answer the OP question, I love 'em!!!:thumbup:

The agricultural uses are the most common traditional ones.

I had a Boker Plus barlow with bone covers. The knife was very well made, the steel performed well, it had nice action, and the covers had a pleasing look to them.
