Another really nice picture of a really nice knife !

This Boker 5974 is a sentimental, inherited piece with a cracked pile-side handle. I've never carried it before, but I pocketed it today for pictures. Now I'll feel alright cutting with it.

Beautiful !
I betcha it will cut stuff just fine !

Supposed to be mid nineties today. I reckon the only consolation in knowing it could be as hot as a firecracker, like it currently is across the pond. Hope Mr. Jack's fans keep on working.

Since it is Wednesday and since I like this old knife and since it is wood handled and since I want to, I am going to tote my Landers, Frary, & Clark (New Britain, CT.) cocobolo pruner today.
It is very pocketable at 3 & 7/8ths" closed.

Post Office sent me an e-mail yesterday, please come and collect a package. Intrigued, not expecting anything....a great benefactor from France had sent me a fine Horn handled Regional with 'gutter' bolsters. Quel surprise! Really bonded with it and it's been on Apple atrocity duties already

Many thanks indeed

Well that is a new one on me. Never heard of a gutter bolster ! I learned one new thing already today !
Fancy !
I like the blade stamp and umbrella. I wish modern makers would use stamps instead of etches.
Blade etches tend to make knife owners not use a knife for fear of losing the etch, where stamps don't do that.

Thanks, agree about the stampings and quite a few French knives still have them.

The bolsters are called I think "gouttière" which are like rainwater guttering (Americans may use a different word?) and it's a knife in the Burgundy style (great place for wines ) Parapluie à l'epreuve uses this neat stamp.

It's one ultra sharp cutter this one!

I reckon you could have shown the matching lighter with flame burning, but, that might be insulting right now, until the temps come down over there.
Psst ................. Mr. Jack can't hear right now because of all the fans running on high.

Not only the bolsters , that gave its name to the knife. Gouttière.

Speaking of gutters, may our French blade brothers soon have use for an umbrella that isn't stamped on a knife! And not as a parasol.
I think it's been pretty hot there.

Brass is class, or so the makers used to say
