That is a classy, modern take on a traditional pattern - Boker did it very well. OH

Thanks Bruce. Boker has been knocking it out of the park lately. Love the Micartas and the coppers are fantastic as well.

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

Do it! It’s a wonderful small knife.

Thanks for the help fellas. I found one on sale and it’s headed my way.

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

I find the black micarta copper a beautiful knife.

I’ll add this one to the mix.

Thanks, and I agree. I only like the Ironwood copper better because of the Ironwood.

Very nice Dan. I’ve thought about that one several times myself. Good to see one in the wild!

Best part of Bokers is you can actually buy them.

That bolster on your Barlow has some nice wear, looks good.

My only Boker but I like it.

I’ve been eyeing a few lately but noticed that many of them while the description says made in Germany that the photos don’t show it on the tangs so has me a bit concerned if they truly are.

If you want a Boker made in Germany look for “Solingen” on the tang or maybe even on the shield. My understanding is that if it doesn’t say “Solingen” it isn’t necessarily made in Germany.

I didn’t think about the shield. Thank you

This arrived over the weekend. No gaps, springs are flush in all positions, strong pull with a great snap. I like the brushed finish on the blade too, it looks good with the micarta covers. The integral micarta is also perfect for cold weather. If you couldn't tell, I'm pleased!
