This 1982 Boker Whittler came in a box with a sharpening stone.

Boker Whittler in Washboard Bone

REALLY like these handles, been after one for ages. I have the Green Washboard Bone version, well whatever the bone this is a fine knife and merits more attention.

Thank you, Will

Now yer just showin' off.





Sounds a nice set indeed-- though the knife itself is sweet in and of itself. I love the tree inlay. Carbon steel blades?

Thanks, puukkoman! It has become one of my favorites. In my pocket right now, actually....

Nice knives. I especially like the washboard bone whittler and the sheepsfoot Barlow is slightly unusual. Here's a few Boker penknives

Three Boker Barlows,

Left knife, 3 handle pins, saw cut bone, clip point main with mark side swedge, 3 brass liners, Boker USA model 493.

Middle knife, 2 handle pins, smooth delrin, spear point main with no swedge, 3 brass liners, Boker Germany model 492 with Solingen tang stamp.

Right knife, 3 handle pins, second cut stag bone, spear point main with mark side swedge, 2 brass liners, middle liner is steel, Boker USA model 492.

Note all three knives use slightly different tree stamps on the bolster. I would be curious to date them if anyone has a link to Boker Bolster stamp dates. Note the pen blade on the German Boker has a different tang than the US ones.

Does anyone own a Boker made in Bridgeport Ct.? Boker purchased the George Schrade Knife Co. in 1956.
George Schrade manufactured automatics in Solingen and fled at the start of WWI starting another company in B'port, Ct. The tang was stamped Geo. Schrade Knife Co. on one side and Boker on the other. Most were automatics but there were some folders.
Unfortunately automatics were outlawed 2 years later. The company was liquidated at auction. All equipment sold for 10 cents on the dollar.

Just picked this up in a trade, a Boker USA, pattern 3588. Not sure of it's build period, they seem to have made a delrin model later than the bone. Anyone know?

Best regards

Best guess from what I can see, the shied used is before 1975, I'm guessing Wiss & Sons era? Bokers, are very difficult to date, the reuse old tang stamps all the time whenever they feel like it, the Boker USA tang stamp on yours was used from
1945-1983, the shield on yours used before 1975, 40's 50's and 60's used different shield than the one on yours, so best all around guess is after 1960 before 1975? But again just a educated guess.

Tang stamps on US made Bokers

If it is a Chinese or USA or any other country knife, is it still a Boker?

I have four Bokers and a Chinese knife here. Can you pick the chinese knife out?

 

[bucksforus]

I can't see the tang's well enough, but I would guess one of the bright red ones.

I can't see enough details, but if the shield says Solingen it's 100% made in Germany, if the shield says Germany it is outsourced.
