Thoughts on this knife....

[JustinFournier]

Hi Everyone,

I have this Boker I bought as a "BOKER TREE BRAND Damascus African Ebony Lockblade Knife" model number 112023DAM.

It was listed as a collectors knife, thus came in a wooden presentation case and of course the little red Boker bag, so I am under the impression it has some increased value vs something in a cardboard box.

Here is a link to it:

To be honest, this is my only "collectable" Boker, my other is a user. It was an impulse buy. This knife pretty much sits in it's case and I've only looked at it one time.

Does anyone actually think this knife will gain any value over time?

I'm not really a Boker guy, I pretty much collect Sebenzas. I'm trying to get a realistic idea of the Boker market and this knife's potential in deciding if I should sell it or keep it.

Thanks for your input everyone

It's pretty tough to guess what knives will increase in value, but that knife has three things going for it:
Made by Boker, IN GERMANY.
300 layer damascus.
One of Boker's most popular patterns.

I'd say your chances are good!

Thanks for the reply. I looked around and see them selling for less than MSRP, so I guess the demand for them is not high. I suppose they are not limited in production numbers.

Perhaps I will sit on it a little while and see what happens, I don't see it losing much more value, I hope!
