[@singingtoad]

That is a very pretty knife and I agree it would make for a good Sunday outing EDC. Pete is so very kind and it's great to see such kindness being shared throughout the community. Thanks and Cheers!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks very much Toad. It's a perfect option for the way I use a knife. A definite EDC for me. Pete is the real deal. Take care, Dave.

[@knifedelights7473]

That's a delightful knife, for sure! Kudos to Pete! He sure has been a terrific asset and friend to the knife community. Thanks for a great video, John.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

DELIGHTFUL indeed. Just look at that bone, Tom. Ain't she purdy?

[@dentzer81ify]

You can’t beat that knife for the price and the fact that it was really made in Germany at the Boker main plant.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Dentzer. The gray bone is fantastic on this lockback.

Pete sent you a nice one, there, bone scales have a really good combo, with the silver bolsters, thanks for sharing, TK.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

He did indeed. I'm very lucky to have such great friends in the community. Thanks for the support, Jose

[@steveg.1502]

Nice knife, and very cool of Pete! 👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

A very nice gift indeed. Thanks to Pete and his family.

[@kniceslice780]

What a great gift! The dark grey looks really sharp. I have a Boker trapper with the grey bone. The D2 is a nice upgrade from the stainless, should hold that thin edge well. Thanks for sharing!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks very much for your comment, Knice Slice. The gift was truly remarkable and I've been carrying it frequently. Thanks for watching.

[@zachfudge24]

I baffles me that you're the only one with a video on this knife series. I figured people would be all over this series.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Zach, there's a lot of knives out there. These are pretty new, give it time.

[@diverdave2179]

Very pretty, I thought the scales were buffalo horn at first. Thanks TK!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yea I can see that. Thanks for having a watch, DD. What can you say about, Pete? This guy!?!

[@Zen_Ali_123]

That grey bone is gorgeous. Really good looking knife.

Thanks Zen. I know you like your Bokers. Keep it real buddy. Love seeing you in the "Lives".

It makes for a great EDC, FB.

Thanks very much Mike. I like this style as well, though the poor 5OTH may get ignored for a while

[@robertbudnik3318]

Going on my wish list for sure! Your productions are superb….video, sound, trailer photos, and music!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Much appreciated Robert. It's a great knife. The coloring on that bone is fantastic.

[@jamesstork5544]

That's a nice piece. Reminds me of the Case Tribal lock pattern.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Steve, glad you like it. I sure do.

[@davidkurle5418]

Pete hit it out of the park with this one! That's a great looking knife, buddy!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a wonderful piece. Gonna really enjoy carrying it.

That’s one gorgeous knife! Pete is an awesome guy. That Boker would be a fantastic edc. Fantastic slide show pics!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks, RJ. Peter, Peter pumpkin eater. Kissed the girls and made them sweeter. Look out Tammy.

[@jelkel25]

I have a Boker that was apparently at least assembled in Germany and one that has definitely never spent a second in Germany. The way I see it is you generally get a good standard at all the price points from the gold shield ones to the Magnums, only ever bought one I thought was a bit garbage and even that is perfectly functioning. Not everyone can go gold shield including myself but I can still get a good knife. This was a great gift from Jersey, very nice knife.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thank you for your thoughts, JK. Boker really does make an effort to hit several price points with their product lines and I appreciate them for continuing to make traditionals. A little something for everyone.

[@terrillschneider3778]

Great review and video Now I want one TK I have been telling the guys I sent the sheaths to that when I did I had just found out I had esophageal cancer and I was just starting treatments Now my chemo and radiation doctors say I’m doing so good they are considering ending them a week early After that it’s probably surgery but everything looks good for cure Thanks for going nuts over the gift lol and over John’s work bc getting his work attention was my goal not getting thanks for myself Anyway I love your channel

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Very happy to hear that Terry. Cancer sucks! Wishing you a clean bill of health. Thanks for your support of the channel. I hope I've provided some enjoyment and entertainment for you along the way. J.O. is a wonderful addition to the community.

Happy Thursday TK, that is a very good looking traditional lockback in the style of the Buck 110 folding hunter but much fancier! I wish you & family a Happy Easter, ATB Steve in Tel Aviv where we are celebrating Passover with beautiful warm spring weather

Beautiful handles on that knife. It would be neat to put it next to a Case Tribal Lock and compare the profiles.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

If I ever get a tribal lock, I'll have to do that. Thanks Nick.

Very nice . 👍 A gentleman 's knife for a true gentleman . Enjoy it T. K. . Great review . P.S. - Jersey Knife is a great guy .

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I intend to. This one's gonna get a lot of pocket time. Jersey's the man. Thanks, Michael.

[@darceygejdos1216]

I bought this Boker after watching the review, Very happy with this knife and it is now a favorite carry., Looks good, nice pocket size, extremely sharp.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Excellent. I think it's a terrific knife for EDC.

[@davidtaylor4359]

Have a red bone in this model, been carrying it for 6 months. D2 sharpens well and holds A great edge.50 bucks for a german knife is a good price. The fit and Finnish is great. So impressed with this knife that I bought 2 more. Will be my Edc for a long time

[@shanecoursen]

My only hangup is the etching on the blade. Just not into it. Other than that, Boker Solingen makes great knives (imho). Thank you for the review TK and it's awesome of Jersey Knife Guy to send it your way!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yep, it can be bothersome. I don't know why, but this one isn't as bad for me.

[@BaxtersBlades]

Definitely a gentlmans carry. Excellent materials and design for a good price.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yes, I agree, It's been a delight to carry.

[@lemmyjoker3678]

My small budget will be hurting but I don’t think I can resist this one

Thanks for the response Lemmy. Let us know how you like it.

I think you will be happy with this knife . I am. Regards DG

[@lewisgreenway5065]

What a fantastic gift such a handsome pocket knife, just the sort of knife I liked to carry back in the day, not possible now with our legal system, the colour on the bone is so attractive nice ergonomic shape both handle and blade, all in all a great single blade knife.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a shame. I've really been enjoying this knife since having received. I've made a point to carry it often. Jersey did a good job picking this one out.

[@forrestslrHankd]

Nice knife, Jersey knife guy is awesome

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Jersey is the man. Thanks Forrest.

[@gvanderweele2334]

Beautiful scales on your Boker. Like the lock back. I am a fan of the Case Tribal lock with its spearpoint. Worth taking a closer look at this series. Thank you for sharing, and kudos to Jersey Knife Guy. 👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a beautiful knife. Make me want to try some others in this series.

[@johneli495]

Looks good. Seems like a step up from the Roper Tumblweed

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yes, a bit more refined than the bearhead designs. Thanks John.

[@jeroenvoss6231]

Simularities with the Bruin, but German made for 50 bucks is quite a budget range. Thank you John and Pete.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

My favorite Dutchmen right here folks. A great supporter of the traditional knife community. Thank you Jeroen. Look forward to chatting with you soon.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

I was curious on your thoughts on that price point!!!! I could have done away with the etch on the blade….. and the fit and finish is ok…… it seems like we’re pretty much on par with one another…… I was also looking at the folding hunter with a nice leather sheath!!!! But what’s keeping me away is that big etch but other than that it’s a good user and I think D2 steel is fine with me I know a lot of people are gettin tired of D2 but that stuff gets sharp and I never had one rust!!!!! Anyway I have different knives that I’ll send you to check out I’ve got a few on my mind!!!! Thanks John stay well buddy catch you soon😊

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

D2 is fine for smaller knives. Many modern guys appreciate only the most modern super steels. I don't fall into that trap, give me a good carbon blade any day that I can quickly turn into a laser.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Hey John I have a couple good ones on my radar one is 40 bucks and the other is 50 bucks both carbon blades 😊

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

@@jerseyknifeguy6382 You have my attention.

[@lemmyjoker3678]

Thanks for the video guys. I think I’m going to cave and get one in white Ben. I usually hate big logos but this one doesn’t bother me too much. Thanks again for giving me a good look at it. Cheers

[@daniel-lee888]

I've been waiting for the Boker Traditional 2.0 Series Whittler to come out. And you're right on the branding and pricing for slipjoints: entry level Magnum = China made and assembled, mid market Boker Traditional = Chinese parts assembled in Germany and top of line Boker Manufaktur Solingen = German blades and assembly (and priced > $100). Then there is Boker Plus which is is mostly mid market but has pricier models and generally modern materials made in China. It's all about choices for the consumer!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yes, Boker do a good job of offering models at different price points. Thanks, Daniel.

[@donc5220]

Very nice . Petes awesome hes def one of my Fav Channels . I have a Stockman in the Traditional series with Nichols Damascus it was only 100$ im guess it was only assembled in Germany. I love it. Not sure of the origin but I dont mind .

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Pete was very generous to send this to me. Much appreciated. I like a stockman, enjoy it! Thanks, Don.

[@donc5220]

Think this would hold up to Medium to light use or just a light user??

[@navajasdecaballerosgentlem9420]

There's a lot of tales about this Boker line. The Boker Manufaktur in which this knife was made is in fact a German production in their factory placed in Remscheid, a city near to Solingen, 100% German materials, but made by machinery, not by hand as the Boker Manufaktur Solingen products. Difference? Handmade knives are stock limited. The Tree Brand was introduced in US in the 1900's because of difficulties for English speakers, considering analphabetic percentage those days, was pretty easy identify a tree more than a Böker word. Great knife at affordable price.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks for the info navaja. Take care.

[@bruceswearingen7718]

I'm getting 1 in white bone

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Kirby, very nice to say. Glad you enjoyed the review.

[@stuartgross5728]

It’s a beautiful knife. It does remind me of the Case tribal lock. I actually have the grey one. Your bone is actually prettier than my Case. As far as where it is made we will never know. My guess is it was assembled in Germany of Chinese parts. Similar to what Old Timer is doing on some models. Of course that’s a guess. Regardless it is great and yes Pete does know your style.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It was a very nice gift. I carry it quite frequently.

[@jasonxu7433]

[@sixgunslingin]

When writing to Boker I was told they are assembled in Germany.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks for the info, Michael.

[@mbj1163]

Hate to say it but IMO the Old Timer 5OTH has nicer lines, even if the materials and finish aren't as nice as the Boker.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

They are nice. Tough to beat the look of a USA made Bruin.

[@FreedomFox1]

Beautiful bone on that one!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks, I think so too. Welcome to the channel.

[@preppy890]

Got one ,but the scales were nothing like yours. Not nearly as polished and pretty much the same color from end to end. Still a pretty knife and I am pleased with it, but you have a special one for sure.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Oh thanks, I really haven't compared the handles with any others like it. Wonderful coloring on these for sure.

[@Yoko.Kurama]

What does “bare head” mean?

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Bare head just means it only has a bolster at the pivot end.

Germans do the same as USA. They buy cheap Chinese parts assemble it in Germany 🇩🇪 and turn around to sell in the USA for 5 tithe price!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Ok

[@fatmangaming2720]

This is a break away from the typical gentleman's style knife I have see. Typically that are slimmer, and easy to carry in the pocket, and most are not lock backs. This more of a Buck 110 style, it is a nice looking knife however.
