they are cheaper so we just put 'Made in Germany' on them" models. Good knives nonetheless.

It would be hard to fit that on the tang
It's hard to answer that. On one hand, the just don't "feel" as nice as the higher-end models, but when I look closely it's hard to find any real faults. There's no gaps, everything is tight, all nicely finished. A couple of them have soft springs on some of the blades, but I've noticed the same thing on some of the higher-end Bokers. It could just be that because I know they are cheaper, they feel cheaper. Overall, they are definately on par with Case knives. I do carry them regularly, especially the red Copperhead, and they are great users.
Nice collection Mark. How’s the action on your large stockman? I have several that have great action on the main blade but lackluster action on the secondary blades.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.

Yep, same thing. The main is nice and snappy but the secondarys are soft. Not terrible but any means, but noticeable.
Yeah, I have four and they are all the same, so I didn’t think I got four soft ones all in different covers.
I rarely use anything but the main blade anyway, but they aren’t something I carry much. Very nice knives but they probably need to find new homes.What don't you like about the expedition?Well, if it helps @Sacto , I hate my Expedition Club.
It fueled my wants for the Copper Club.
Wants won the argument.
Yeah, I am blowing way too much on my not-so-little collection, as well. Wife is getting angry and so are the kids, even.
Beautiful patina Gordon. Like you I’ve been thinning the collection, but I don’t think my copper Bokers will be going anywhere.This weekend's totes.
