Boker Traditionals...?

[timberweasel]

I've been looking at some of the traditional patterns offered by Boker. From what I understand, the "Tree Brand" line contains their premium models, but they also have more affordable traditional patterns available in the Boker Plus and Magnum lines as well. How does Tree Brand quality stack up next to that of other manufacturers? Are the Plus and/or Magnum offerings decent or best avoided?

Please share your experience with Boker traditional patterns from any of their lines. And of course, pictures are always appreciated!

Thanks, fellas!

I don't have any pictures at this time But the Tree Brand is made in Germany and they are nice quality and fairly prices. The Boker plus line is Comparable to the Rough Rider line.

Hi!

I owned a Böker Plus Cattleman, it was terrible. Dull as hell and a lot of blade wobbling. So I sent it back, but there was no Cattleman back in stock, so I got my money back. Böker has there some colance. Maybe your Böker Plus is gonna be a little bit better, but mine wasn´t the hit.

And, for sure, there´s the big BUT I own a Böker Tree Brand Trapper of the 25th Anniversery Edition from 2011. It´s a great knife in Micarta Scales and Carbon Steel (might be 1095 or D2) don´t know exactelly wich one.

There´s no wobbling or space between bolsters and scales. The blades came razorsharp and the finishing is outstanding... 10 from 10 points

Kind regards
Andi
