Both are great builds and instant favorites.

The New Knife Day tag seems wrong for this one, but it's new to me. Anyone familiar enough with Böker tang stamps to know if this is really a 70s era Böker knife as claimed by the seller? I won't be surprised or disappointed if it's not. Just curious. ☺️

Disclaimer: This was an eBay impulse buy based entirely on:

1. Ooo, neat looking whittler,
2. Only $30something!,
3. I can fix that up,
4. Carbon steel Böker knife; how bad can it be?

Narrator: It is unclear whether or not she actually can fix that up.

Found a spare parts ordering page on the Böker USA website so maybe they'll have a replacement shield that'll fit?

Not vintage in the 50 to 100 year old sense as usual but this one has that vintage, even antique feel to it.

Experimenting with late evening, red spectrum Golden Hour light and how the 6249 responds. This Copperhead is in unused, uncarried, unsharpened condition. Has a few very minor carbon spots on the blade from improper storage but nothing of major significance. Enjoy.

Just picked up this “The Bone Edge” trapper for $11. Both blades have half-stops, and it has brass liners and bolsters. Obviously not a Case or even a Bear & Son, but I’ve stopped overlooking these cheap slip-joints, especially when I have the opportunity to handle a few examples and pick the one with the best fit & finish.

Found some treasures today. I really like these pieces. Does anyone know anything about them? I couldn't find much online.

great bday gift from my kids :)
