Bought an R Werner custom Boker

[Rupestris]

I have been hunting high and low for a Case Half Whittler. I know I could order one on line but I enjoy the hunt. Hitting yard sales, flea markets and pawn shops when I can.

I'm currently on vacation in Morehead City, NC and had a few minutes to burn so I stopped at a pawn shop to browse. They didn't have the 6208 but they did have a Boker single spring Half Whittler in stainless. Upon inspection I found the following:

Stamped:

R WERNER
2000 AD
CULLMANN AL

The slabs look like they've been replaced with pearl. No pins visible. Mirror polished blades and bolsters. Blades are 100%. Springs aren't nail breakers but not mush either. Half stops on both blades.

The best part:

Now I'm completely clueless as to who R Werner is and I'm sure this wasn't the score of the century but I don't think I did too bad. It cost about the same as a Rough Rider & shipping and I can quell my Half Whittler lust for a while.

If any one can shed a little light on R Werner I'd appreciate it. I didn't find much on line.

R Werner was as knife shop in Cullman, AL. They still do business on Ebay but as PG Quick Co. At least they were a few years ago.

Thanks everyone and thanks for the info knifeaholic. As much as I'd like to make it a safe queen, that just isn't something I can do. When I get home it'll see some pocket time. I love my CV Peanut and it gets carried daily but I think I'll give this one some "EDC" time as soon as I can sharpen it up.
