Wonderful Knives everyone!
Charlie my friend, PLEASE forgive me for the very late posts on these great threads, to find time in taking photo's - cropping etc is hard for me of late, I did buy a printer/scanner with the hope I could plonk my knife in the Scanner and presto- very much like you do so well- but unfortunately lol... I dont get the desired results.
I have a Boker at Pauls House and only a few here, and these have the usual stampings that are shown here, so nothing out of the ordinary I am afraid to say, but I thought I wouls share any way.
To find a "scriptured" stamped Boker would be nice- and thank you for sharing so we all could view that one Charlie!
Here is a couple of Easy Openers from Boker, the Smaller being a "Block Letter" Stamp, the other a Boker USA..
The Smaller E/O's Block Letter stamping which I think? dates it around the 1930's
The Stamping on the Bigger E/O, the more of the norm that we see, by the way when I study the Bone on both of these Knives...the Jig work is exquisite!
A large Folding Hunter almost, lol this knife was an important lesson to stop...let the blood finish pumping a hundred miles an hour before purchasing a knife...in saying that I bought this knife for possibly a 1/4 of it's value if it didnt posses the problems it does ( it was obviously a back pocket Knife and has a slight curvature to it which happens at times).
Bill Howard looked at this particular Knife and apart from the cosmetic issue I just explained he was intrigued with it- as it looks like a knife that wasnt quite finished in factory in his opinion- Bolsters/ Caps in their Natural unfinished shape - and so on...interesting- and such a magnificent user- Big Carbon Blade with a great Pen- Lovely Bone!
Interesting link on Boker...
