I’m about to buye a Boye …

Got it. Yeah her stuff is beautiful. One of the Boye knives for sale at Arizona and still available has her carving and it is really nice.

for those who don’t know, It is etched, not carved.

Actually, the designs are placed in ceramic molds, and show up in relief when removed from the molds.

Hmmmm
I was told they were etched. I’ll look into it. Thank you.

You can see they are raised, you can't by the definition of what etching is, add material to something you have etched.

Some designs, such as nail knicks, are cast into the blade. Others, such as full blade design of a dragon is etched. I have one of each.

I’ve been aware of the well-known Boye Dendritic Cobalt knives for years now (over 20?). I was never much interested in them but … now I am.

I’m almost ready to irresponsibly drop about $360 on a Boye Cobalt 3 knife.

Does anyone know if they can be purchased from any retailers or do I have to pay full list direct to the manufacturer on their site?

Or … do you know a valid discount code to help soften the blow of this, what will be my new most expensive knife?

Thank you!

I have thee basic III knives. They are worth every penny. I am a boater and marine tech by trade. Two of them are in storage as backups. I have used my first one HARD for years.It looks almost like the other pristine ones. Every knife I have owned rusts and becomes a waste of money. I have even used it to cut and pry off steel reinforced exhaust house. It is non magnetic so tether it or get ready to dive for it if you drop it in the drink.
