As my forum name would indicate I am a devout Spyderco affi but I've always had a ton of respect for Boker's good stuff too. I owned 2 of the Gemini models with the X-15 TN stainless blades and loved them. I haven't had much of their stuff here of late but I'm always on the lookout.

What I'm interested in at this time may seem weird to a lot of you guys. Because I not only collect knives I also collect sharpening equipment as well. Most big knife companies don't make their own sharpening gear but they do have their name put on stuff made by other reputable companies. Buck and Case being prime examples of this.

I was wondering if Boker ever made, sold or distributed any sharpening tools with their name on them like Buck has? I have sharpening gear put out by other knife companies but I've never seen anything put out by Boker. Did Boker ever market any sharpening tools with their name on them? If so then what did they ever sell under their name? It seems like most of the older companies at one time sold whetstones with their names on it but I've never seen any with Boker's name on it. I would appreciate any information you all would have on this.
 
I also collect hones and straight razors, and do have a couple old Boker razor hones with either King Kutter or Tree Brand Logos. I can't recall the age bit will put up pics when I get my new camera. I believe they also have made strops. I'm not sure of any knife stuff, but it's quite likely they have at some point.
