Thread: The Boker Brotherhood

A complete noob's first blade.

Picked up as an impulse buy. The blade looks to be in good shape, with a bit of frown, but no knicks or anything else.



Not sure about the age of it. The tag said 1880s, but I haven't been able to match the tree up to anything that I've been able to find on the web.



I'm excited to get it cleaned up and honed so I can give it a try.

The Boker date tree, so you're looks to be from the 1924 +, by my eye:

STRAZORS.com - all about classic razors - H.Boker & Co, Solingen.

Thanks.

I've seen the chart. The closest wording is G9 or 17, but mine does not have the Solingen on it. As well the tree looks different with less development up the left side. I should note that there is no marks on the back of the blade.

To me, I know the blade is of good quality so that's the important bit. The age of it is just a nice to know.

Got my first Boker on order as we speak. Order myself a King Cutter. Its pretty basic but it is my first one.
