Boker "Tree Brand Classic" & Solingen made traditional knives

Current Boker folders. The Ironwood and Black Micarta Copper Barlows were dropped a few months ago and I damaged the bolsters. I've been slowly working them to get them "better". The Black Micarta is done, it was mostly scratches and those polished out without much issue. The Ironwood ended up with 2 bolster dents with raised sharp edges, I've worked those to where the sharpness is gone, still working the remaining scratches. Needless to say the patina has been polished off both of those and they're back to bright and shiny copper.

(I'm still in the process of going through a huge amount of clutter, the apartment gets rearranged frequently as I do so and right now I don't have an easy way to get more even lighting on knives. Between that and different camera gear, I'm still working on post processing to get the images as close to real life as I can. These still aren't right.)

Mine just showed up yesterday. I'd been eyeballing them for awhile and glad I waited - that price is too good to pass on. I don't expect they'll ever drop much, if any, lower then that.

Slightly more petite than I was expecting (nasty habit of disregarding numbers 🤣), and prefer, but the fit and finish entirely makes up for it. I literally can not feel any seams on this thing. The transition between the burlap micarta and copper is completely undetectable but for the surface textures. pretty wow. I'm guessing their integrals are even more seamless than that, but I can't even imagine what that must be like.

happy knife hoarder over here. 🤣
