I'm bored this evening, so playing with the camera again.

Boker. Barlows. Still a piker compared to a few of you hereabouts.

More nice photos Gordon, great collection.

Boker Congress with friend. Every bit the quality of GEC on the Solingen knives.

Thank you very much, Todd.

This one came in about a week ago. W&T is exceptional, way better than the Club I picked up first. F&F is what you would expect from Boker, in a word…great, the grind was a little wonky but it was sharp, did my best to straighten it out and now it’s REALLY sharp. Highly recommend this one.

This pair is seeing the most pocket time, even with dedicating other knives to pocket time.

Brass and Copper patina in various stages. The newest are the two Stockmans and the brown micarta Barlow.

Those look great Gordon. I wish they hadn’t used stainless for the copper ironwood, haven’t carried mine, it looks too clean.

Thanks.

Everything on mine was highly polished. I'd have preferred a bit more matte. But - that Ironwood.

I have almost pulled the trigger on that Boker so many times. It sure is pretty.

Thanks Pat. It is so light and snappy, and incredibly well made.

Do it! It’s a wonderful small knife.

I agree, more people should be taking notice of the Boker traditionals. I like them better than what GEC offers. I think their tolerances are tighter, they use more modern materials, and better steel. I only wish they had more variety.
