Here's a couple I've got... this 1/2 Trapper is one of my favorite knives I own! Coke bottle isn't that bad either. It's
a nice size to carry 3-3/4

I have some others without pics, including a sweet little rosewood pen with carbon blades, a Tree Brand green bone stockman, a blue bone Copperhead and a model 240 on the way in stag. Oh yeah, some Boker made Hen & Rooster's too, like this little stockman:

Have an H&R congress with red white and blue Corelon handles, a small stag canoe, and a green bone coke bottle with matchstrike pulls.
 
Nice thread idea, Pete. I agree that Boker sometimes gets overlooked. The chestnut tree logo is one of my favorites.

Here's my trusty 493C.

And my large Sodbuster.

Hi,

I've got just two Bokers. But they are among my favorites.

A German Boker Barlow with a short run Grand Canyon covers. A classic rendition of a Barlow.

A Boker USA 4 blade Congress. It taught me that the Congress pattern can be a workin' man's knife.

I have two I bought last summer after Andi brought them to our attention. Olive wood covers. 440C blade steel. Nicely made in Germany. A delight to carry and use. The serpentine jack with its clip and sheepsfoot has become my favorite weekend carry. Only 500 made of each pattern. A pity, that. I wish they were more widely available.

Kris, as always, beautiful knife and great photography. I love your damascus collection. Double wow on that part!

And older 494,

I really like Boker:D
 
This is my only Böker knife so far

... I got it from a great trade with Duncan. :)

I had some interessting email swap with Böker, Germany some time ago. I ased them if I could get some of their Tree Brand Knives. They told me that´s impossible. They only sell these knives to the US. So if I want a Böker Tree Brand Knife (made in Germany) I should have to buy it in the US. That´s a little strange to me. Really strange... Since that I really avoid Böker. Though I think their knives are really beautiful.
 
I have two for-true Bokers, and one I consider of the "Family"-- a Russell-branded razor barlow whose blade is stamped SOLINGEN GERMANY and whose construction is more-than-similar to that of the Boker-branded barlow (readily apparent in-hand). I don't know whether the Russell was produced by Boker, or both were made by a third entity, but they are definitely of an ilk.

Boker Congress, NOS from the 1970s:

It's wee in real life:

All four blades fit without rubbing each other or the frame...

... due to no small amount of crinkery.

Boker Barlow, or, Behold the Tree:

An idiocrasy: not the storied carbon, but stainless (waves 'ello at sitflyer)

Its colors are less severe/less harshly transitioned in real-life...

The Russell's tolerances are tighter/smoother than the true Boker's, but both are fine pieces and I enjoy them each for different reasons. The wee congress, with its tiny slim blades, is my only one of its kind and a sweet little thing indeed.

Here's a pair of Boker model 200 Canoes I picked up at a gun show back in'08, I have one away here on the forums in a giveaway awhile back but I still have one Of 'em, I have a small Boker Ceramic to.

my humble offering .when i first got this one i didn't like it because it doesn't "snap" or have a 9/10 pull .
I overcame this initial displeasure when I realised how smoooothleee it opens ,how precisely it clicks into the open position and how quietly (not sluggish or soft) it closes.
It combines ruthless efficiency with olde world charm. Just look at the washboard bone scales. Ausgezeichnet.
looking at this thread makes me think a new Boker is way overdue-those beer barrel ones look great.
cheers
