I just wanted to commetn on how impressed I am with the quality of these knives they feel like really solid pieces...anyone else have boker experience they'd like to share?? Happy holidays by the way.

Yes...lots people here have many different Boker traditional patterns. Most will say they are of good quality and definately a good value. I personally have 15 Boker traditional patterns and I really like them all very much. My current favorite is a Copperhead Grand Canyon.

I have one of the Barlows made under contract for Russell. Very good quality at a very low price point.

Same as Blues wrote, top notch Barlow for not much dosh!

Nice Copperhead in excellent Grand Canyon Bone.They don't sharpen as well as CASE cv but still very good in my view.

My first traditional slippie was a Boker Copperhead in smooth red bone. I got it last summer as an elegant edc, but it is a bit too big for dress pants. It's a very nice knife, especially for its price.

Boker Tree Brand with Carbon Steel blades have always treated me right.

I lean toward the Rosewood handled ones for some reason.
Two favorites, that give one a nice change from a Peanut, are the Boker 204 (a bit bigger, best recall 3 1/8" closed) and the 2 3/4" one just like it, and going from memory is the 8288 .

Single back spring and not only do guys find these handsome, the ladies like these for looks and feel as well.

Some folks rec'd these as gifts, upon my suggestion for something different and a change from the Peanut this year.

Sharp out of the box, and fit, finish and everything else - spot on.

You're right about not sharpening as well.....I've found if you thin them out a bit they sharpen up much better. Even thinned out they hold their edge pretty well. No complaints.
