The title says it all.
Mine's still in the box, so pics will come later. But, since I picked it out I know that what I would call a Boker serpentine single blade jack with 440C clip blade and bog oak covers awaits its official unveiling sometime on Sunday.

Any others?
 
Frank I saw those Bog Oak Bokers on line but with no good photos! I'm hoping you will remedy that problem for us today. :)

Happy Fathers Day 2017! :D These Mayer & Grosh SFO's were a Fathers Day gift from my wonderful wife Pam! ;)

A Case 6318 from my daughter on Father's Day 2015. It replaced an old, well-worn SAK, and started me in this whole hobby aspect of traditional folding knife ownership. Please excuse the recycled pic. :D

I spent all of my teenage years diving for abalone on the Northern California coast. My father taught me to dive and spear fish when I was twelve. I remember when the yearly limit was 100. I remember it dropping to 25, and then 18 and this year to 12 with only 9 allowed within the counties where I grew up diving. A skilled free diver will now only get three abalone dives a year.

I gifted this knife to my wife this morning. She regularly holds down all the tasks and responsibilities of both parents and it is the absolute least I could do to thank her.

Boker calls this a "stockman". It is the same frame and same clip blade as they use on their 4" stockman. This one is numbered "191/500"
The bog oak is actually darker than this. (Self adjusting camera and I didn't want to fuss with it.)
The blade is marked "Solingen", which indicates the blade is made there.
The wood has a texture which draws one to use it as a touchstone.
The corners are gently rounded, not as much as Case does. Very pocket friendly. Very high level of fit and finish. Mirror polished blade.
Came quite sharp. Bevels are even on both sides.
Really, a gorgeous piece of kit.

knarfeng knarfeng Thanks Frank! A great looking knife and a very slim pocket friendly package. I assume they are using the same frame as their 7474 Stockman. Nice!!!:thumbsup:
