Yes sir those 2 whittlers are German made. You are correct about the Roman numerals. The bone knife dates to 1979 and the wood one is 1974. Notice the emblems are more narrow than those that are now made in China. Nice knives and from my experience those will take a keen edge.

Oh yeah... That's why I chose Boker for that particular wisecrack. You have to go back a good many years for any manufacturer's knives to be one hundred percent pure in terms of country of origin.

You are familiar with a company called Great Eastern Cutlery? I’m pretty sure their knives are 100% made in the USA

Of course I'm familiar with Great Eastern. That American-grown Gabon Ebony is really something.

You say you were surprised that a knife that didn’t specifically state the country of origin on the blade tang was made in China. This whole thread has been about country of manufacture.

Well, you got me.

We've got a nice, civil conversation going here. Why don't we agree to just use the language the way we want to, and not derail the thread over silliness? Agreed?
