Ebbtide231 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Wish you didn't because of crap quality or a hurt on your wallet? I have 2 and stopped there when I was ahead. Both from when they first started up over 15 years ago... The mighty Evo, never to be made again, that is, except for last years look alike made by bark river for Blackjack. And the Rogue limited issue first production run blah blah blah I like them both, but I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bfishes333 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 3 hours ago, mako20ft said: It's confusing...you've got "Boker", "Boker Plus" and "Boker Magnum". Magnum is all Chinese. Hoping not to offend anyone but it's iffy. Plus is Chinese but they sprinkle in Argentinian as well. Some fixed blades with stag handles aren't bad at all. Some AUS-8 steel, thoughtful designs but all in all...not their best effort. Boker is a hodge podge. Like I mentioned...it CAN say "Tree Brand" right on the blade. I don't know that it matters. For example, on the exact same Boker blade I ordered (same Boker part #) Knife Country says "Made in China. House of Blades says "Made in Germany, Discount Cutlery says "Made in China" and then Amazon carefully DOES NOT say until you get to the Q/A and their vendor says "Made in Germany". Your guess is as good as mine? I think Boker Arbolito was the Argentinean, Boker Tree German, and Biker Plus the Chinese made. I could be mistaken though.

I could be mistaken though. You are correct sir... Arbolito makes some really nice stuff out of Argentina (they bought someone out but couldn't guess who). Real stag and decent steel Boker Plus and then Magnum are all Chinese. Funny though, check out the Boker "Bob", the "Rhino" and then the "Gnome". Sure, it's Asian but Boker was smart enough to pay Vox for the designs. The other one is Boker "Cinch" which I'd never heard of before. From the Knife Depot website..."Made in Germany". Says they're all about traditional knives. Prices seem reasonable. The wheels on my reels go round and round...round and round...round and round...
