"Old Knives"

[Mike Robuck]

A very fine parade of Bokers!

This German Boker is pre-war, 1930s. I saw a catalog page for it but neglected to download it. It would appear to be a gentleman's knife in the three inch range, give or take but it is NOT. It is a full 3 3/4 inches closed! Genuine horn and mint.View attachment 1104614 View attachment 1104615 View attachment 1104616

Nice gentleman's knife. Here is the Boker catalog illustration I had sent you circa 1930.

Steve - some time ago I posted my Pal Clip Point asking if anyone else had one like it because I have not seen any other one- no one replied so its great to see your example and it is in very nice condition.

Campbellclanman Thanks Duncan I would love to see a pic of yours

Steve- mine will make you feel very good about your knife, I could spend a lot of time in very carefully cleaning it up- but I think this knife is THE King of Patina!!

Thank you Herder and Steve , it’s always nice having short “ chats or comments “ here with my knife friends.

This pattern's a little less common:

And this Crandall was a Parker brand in the mid-90's: (the original company merged with W R Case way back when...)

This S&M is kind of strange, one side looks "normal":

But the off side is a completely different matter:

I'd be interested in knowing how many of these LL Bean contracted. The unusual construction makes me wonder if they got a deal on mostly finished knives that they did a little "customizing" too. You'd think they could have engraved the bolsters on both sides at a minimum.

Here's a Cut Co version of the one eisman posted
