That Boker barlow is a beauty. The bone handles would be Boker's "washboard bone" or "washboard jigged bone." I am guessing the seller inadvertently conflated it with Queen Cutlery's "winterbottom jigged bone," which has grooves parallel to the length of the handle.I picked up my first Boker knife last week. The jigging pattern was described as “weatherbottom”, whatever that means, but I like the way it feels in hand and it’s easy to distinguish by feel from other objects in my pocket.

Certainly agree here, it is fine looking but those scales are Washboard Bone. Böker also did these in a Green version as well.That Boker barlow is a beauty.

Bob Cargill Cripple Creeks are special knivesFinally found an original Bob Cargill Cripple Creek to add to the collection -- a Trapper (1986) in Honey Bone. Love the jigging on this one...

Sorry I took so long, but meant to inquire about the handle material on docs knife. I like it.
Very nice! CongratulationsWasn’t expecting mail today due to the holiday, but I’m glad they delivered. Received this absolutely beautiful ‘89 Case Texas Jack in stag fromShyChineseGuy . Everything about it is tight and right, no gaps, looks unused/unsharpened, good snap. It’s a fantastic example, and an instant favorite for me for sure.

No worries, it's smooth bone or they call it smooth antique bone and it's etched with a laser to give it that rattlesnake look.Sorry I took so long, but meant to inquire about the handle material on docs knife. I like it.![]()
Thanks so much, again it looks great.No worries, it's smooth bone or they call it smooth antique bone and it's etched with a laser to give it that rattlesnake look.
It's an interesting finish and textured, I have a large Copperlock in it- after a few drinks you could swear it moves..No worries, it's smooth bone or they call it smooth antique bone and it's etched with a laser to give it that rattlesnake look.
It's a run from 2019 and it's perfect in F&F. I couldn't be happier with it as it's definitely a unique lookerIt's an interesting finish and textured, I have a large Copperlock in it- after a few drinks you could swear it moves..![]()
