Collector of Boker Annual Damascus Knives

[oldspooky]

I collect Boker Damascus Annual knives. I have 23 with a few duplicates. Anybody have a suggestion of how to connect with other collectors of Boker Damascus Annual knives, to perhaps make some trades?

Well Ol' Spook, in my opinion you've started in the right place!
The Boker Damascus LTD Editions are pretty expensive and specialized, so the list of potential trading partners is probably pretty short.
Along with this site, I'd recommend:
Boker Fans on iKnife collector
http://www.iknifecollector.com/group/bokerfans?xg_source=activity
and
All About Pocket Knives, trading forum

Try visiting this site:

You will find color pics of all the Annual Damascus Series along with descriptions of most, but of course, in German.
I am missing the following; 1981, 1983, 1984, 1987, and 1990-1997. The series started in 1980. Thanks for suggestions.

Now only missing the 1981 and 1984.
Anyone have these and an interest in selling or trading, let me know.

I was offered a Boker Damascus 2011 for 260 dollars? Brand new in its box, is that good value? Are there a particular annual editions thats more sort after than others?

I have the entire series - from 1980 up through around 2007 (cannot remember last one purchased) I know pictures and descriptions are available on the German Boker site, or at least they were a couple of years back. The first couple of years the edition was limited to 500 knives, I believe. I have been contemplating selling my collection, but have not gotten around to photographing them all and/or posting them on line. The collection has a wide variety of styles and materials, but all are made with the finest materials and craftsmanship, to be sure. I have really enjoyed my collection, if only to take them out of the safe once a year to clean and polish. None of mine have ever been used or sharpened.
