I just won this vintage scout pattern Boker, I was wondering if I could get an approximate date of manufacture and if it was made by Boker or farmed out to another manufacturer?
I also realize that it has no connection to the Boy Scouts despite what the seller had claimed.

I 've seen the number in this 1975 catalogue;

I however don't know when they started production of this knife. I guess your knife is early -mid seventies.

You could try the bernard levine subforum for more information

I don't have access to the old catalogs right now, but I think it hasn't
been produced since the early 80's.
Looks like it was made by Wiss Tools, probably in the Maplewood NJ factory.
Thanks, Terry

jwissandsons manufactured for the boker tree line as stated by Terry. this ; "Camper's Knife" also appeared in the '72-73 catalogue from Wiss Tools. I have not found earlier catalogues on the net. The handle material is not jigged bone but some kind of synthetic immitation . Probably plastic.

Steel probably 1085 i think?
