I was looking at them online. They almost look like United or Boker.They say made in Germany. Looks like a decent knife anyways.It is hard to tell on the WWW with photos.They are inexpensive so it makes you wonder if the quality is there.

Thanks. Do you have any Westmarks?I saw them also rather inexpensive at 25 bucks. They looked half decent too.I guess you can't go wrong with them as a user for tht price.
I have a funny feeling they are tomorrows collector pieces.

No Westmarks.

I have several other Boker copperheads and I'm extremely impressed with the fit and finish for the money. Gotta love a well made Solingen carbon steel stag copperhead for $38!
 
Böker. I have a spear point sawn-bone Barlow and it has very good finish and feel.An excellent small work-knife in carbon.Good choice of blades and scales.Recommended.
 
Some of them are made by the Boker plant in Argentina, so they aren't all made in Germany (I saw them at the factory myself).

I bought a spearpoint fixed blade, it's OK for the money, really comfortable in the hand. The sheath, however, is really thin leather.

If my memory serves me Argentina is famous for a big fixed blade.
 
I have one of the Daddy Barlow knives not bad for the price, there is definately something lacking in the quality of the finish of the knife itself, IMO the blade though looks like it should be on a far superior body. definately not German made.
