Main was snapped off so I reshaped to semi-sheepsfoot and have carried it in my tool kit since then.

I should add the photos of Bokers I mentioned in my previous post and more recent pickups. First, two medium stockman's, one yeller like Pjake's, the other green jigged bone. Both of these get a lot of pocket time:

This sweet little stag pen knife, which reminds me a lot of the Case mini-Copperhead, just a smidge shorter

Blue bone Copperhead:

I still have two to take pics of, both small <3", one is a smooth green bone stockman, the other a rosewood pen knife. I really like Boker knives for value, I've had good use out of all of them. Some are underbladed (like my Congress) and it bothers me for a second, but it doesn't change their performance at all.

Boker Whittler in Washboard Bone

 

[pertinux]

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.

Now I can add another, a beer barrel whittler via t.sous11's giveaway:

I love this thing.

Thanks again, Tyler!

Here's a good ol' one I get to hold every now and then, that I recently posted in the Old Knives thread. The lightbulb just came on, that it's a Boker, so I'm bringing this here as well....

Soon after I become re-interested in pocket knives, a friend showed me her father's knife and asked what I could find out about it. Thus commenced my education regarding Boker, including its tree logo/heritage. We eventually dated her knife as between the Wars (meaning, it was almost certainly her grandfather's knife before it was her father's...).

And finally, here is the knife, H. Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery:

Other knives may be worth more money, but I've not been in the presence one more valuable. My friend says it's like having her father along, still; the look in her eyes says it all.

"Pocket-worn" bone, anyone?! The men clearly used the knife hard...

... then kept right on going.

I like the preservation of the nail nick on the broken pen (bare-ly):

Shield, rat-tail bolsters, evidence of consistent hard use but also care: a lot to love here, even without cherishing the men involved.

For me, Boker's are like Lay's Potato Chips, can't only just have one
