I think more than a couple of us around these parts can be classified as enablers...

Mine's about equal back and forth.

It doesn't have the strongest pull, but that's good for me with my thumbnails getting more brittle as I age.

I'm really liking the Club knife, I may have to get more of them.

My latest Boker showed up yesterday, thanks to this group of enablers! It's definitely pretty nice, and fits right into the watch pocket on some of my jeans.

The place these are coming from is having a sale on them today, not to enable or anything.

I've been following this thread for the last few weeks and have managed to avoid getting any of these new Bokers. I like Barlows, but I'm not overly fond of the clip point blades or the acid wash or the copper. So, of course, I went out and got one anyways. I know, I'm weak.

This was one of those knives that when I opened the package I said 'Oh wow!' out loud. What a beautiful knife!

And to all you previous posters, you are bunch despicable enablers and I love you for it.

You've joined the club, and your ticket in looks great! The copper grew on me the more I saw them, and I eventually ordered one on the sale. I've gotten a couple of comments at work already from people noticing the copper. I'm just looking forward to the patina!

Here's my new copper Barlow with the only other Boker Barlow I have. It's a Boker USA, not Solingen. I'm not sure where these were actually made.

Nice “start” Mark.

Did enter this in another section, but qualifies well enough here too

Here's a pic of most of my other Bokers. I just realized there is a small Stockman I left out. They are not all Solingen models. The three on the right are the "Made in Germany, but we can't say Solingen because the parts come from somewhere else that we won't mention, but they are cheaper so we just put 'Made in Germany' on them" models. Good knives nonetheless.
