    Default Boker Finest India Steel

    This little fellow followed me home today. It's not perfect, has a repaired crack in the scales at the wedge pin on the off side. It should clean up nicely and take a good edge if it is like other Bokers I have. Never been disappointed by a vintage Boker.

    Thanks guys. I believe the tang covers are ivory to boot. Really like the look of covered tang razors.

    Thanks but I think yours is just a tab better in condition. Like the scales on yours. Would you have any idea of the time period these were made in?

    Well done! Boker's are one of my favorite for consistency in quality.

    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    Great score Bob! I love the covered tangs. I like Boker's, they seem to hold an excellent edge!
