I have had this for a few years now and have never been able to find out any info. The design, liner, and even the blade markings match all other Bokers I have owned so I figured to try here next. It is not branded Boker anywhere on the knife, it is only marked HK. The blade says it is X-15 T.N. steel and it is number 703 of 1000 and made in Solingen Germany. The section of the blade where the markings are is a satin type finish while the rest of the blade front and read are a high polish. The handle is some type of wood. I do not have the original box or paperwork so I do not have any leads at all. I was on the fence about keeping or selling this knife, but it is hard to figure out without being able to look up any value or collectability. I had just kept it for nice, but if it is not really of any value I will put it to use. Any info (besides the blade markings) would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping to be able to find out a model number so I can at least give it some identity. Here are some pics. If any other angles or detail pics would help, please let me know any I will get them up as soon as I can. Thanks again.


 
Don't know if you already know this, but HK stands for Heckler and Koch. They're best known for their firearms. I searched a bit using "Heckler and Koch X-15 chisel grind tanto" and got a few hits for related looking knives. Seems like Bokker did make this. Maybe some searching will turn something up. Sorry I couldn't offer more. Mike
 
I have tried using most of those searches and have found several that look similar. They seem to all have the hk plus a number to denote denote model. I have tried using hk plus the numbers and can not find a match for this model. I was hoping to pin it down to an exact number but I know that some older Bokers did not have very consistent model identification. I do know the wood model seemed more like a presentation or display type due the high polish and no pocket clip.
