Awesome Boker! I wish they'd drop the weirdly placed shields and go back to the bolster stamps!

I'm a real fan of the Boker Farmboy. It's one of the few knives that I've bought, then sold, then regretted it and finally found another to buy. I cannot understand why they never sell for more than about $50. Perhaps some don't like the deeper engraving on the blade. it's also a real chunk: certainly much wider than other Boker Barlows and the heaviest Barlow I own by a good bit. And you always know it's in the bottom of your pocket. But it really is a great knife, and one of my favorites for I'm not sure why.
