Boker "Tree Brand Classic" & Solingen made traditional knives

[joe_random]

The Copper Barlow SFO is my absolute favorite Boker, if that helps. I just ordered a second one last night, to put away.

Thanks for the input! I may have to grab one, especially for the price right now. Barlows and Micarta have both been growing on me recently, so I'll probably be kicking myself if I don't!

They've done a wonderful job with these IMHO. And they feel equivalent to my standard production ones, so the reduced price doesn't seem to have affected any build quality.

That was something I was wondering about, $100 or more off of the regular ones is quite a drop. At a quick glance the steel appears to be the only major difference. Do they come with the zipper cases like the regular ones?

Yup

I've thought about that as well, but I'm afraid I would just screw it up.

I'd be afraid of messing it up as well.

I probably will screw it up but I’m still going to try it. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Yup

Well, I guess that means I need one! Now to convince my wife that I need it!

Not sure how they worked the deal with Boker, but at the current reduced price they are a great deal IMHO. I know Boker has been using the O1 tool steel on some of their knives, I have several regular production patterns with O1.

The 280 is a beautiful little split back whittler.

My only complaint about these SFOs is that the Micarta could use a bit more texture. Wonder what some sandpaper would do?

I like that it’s really dense and doesn’t have any voids, but I agree, a little texture would be nice. I keep thinking I want to add a swedge to my barlow. I don’t think I’m that brave though.

That would look good Bart, but I agree, that would be hard to build the courage to try it. It’s such a thin blade to begin with, and if you mess up the blade you’ve ruined the knife. If you try something with the handle and mess it up at least you still have a knife albeit an ugly one.
