That is a tricky one, as we still have some knives stamped
with the Boker USA tang stamp.
But, the older ones that just said Boker USA without saying Solingen were stopped between 1985 and 1986, when the German Boker re-established
their presence in the USA, and the current Boker USA, Inc was founded.
Before that, the knives were made and distributed by Cooper Tools Group,
and also by Wiss Tools.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,TJT
