Cinch knives by Boker

[mnblade]

What do you guys know about Boker's line of Cinch knives? There are some pretty nice looking carbon steel slippies in there, like this yella stockman with a punch, and this stag medium stockman. Has anyone here handled one of these? Thoughts?

What is "Cinch," by the way?

A cinch is a saddle girth for tightening the saddle on the horse.
To cinch something down is to secure it in place.

In English slang it is a sure thing or something easy
How did the exam go? I passed, it was a cinch!
Is it also American slang?

The "Cinch" Brand name was for cowboy ware. HERE's a better explanation. The Knives should be OK being made by Boker. I don't know if they are import made or not...

As 4Mica, stated they are part of the "Cinch" brand. The knives are produced by Boker in Germany. I did handle the trapper model while visiting a store in PA but decided ultimatley not buy.

It is the same in American slang.

I have the stockman with the punch. A really well made knife; it is made by Boker after all.
