Boker Tree Brand
Here is my collection of Boker lever locks. I am a longtime owner of these knives, and have owned the top knife since 1986, and the green-handled bone since 1991. The others are more recent additions, including the blue-handled knife that arrived today. Wish they had not discontinued these.

Re: Boker Tree Brand
They are nice...When I first saw them years ago I did not think they were "cool" looking, but as my taste matured I got into them...well made and very usable as a pocket knife..Nice group!
Re: Boker Tree Brand
Very nice group. I like that green one and the bottom one. Boker must've made dozens of different scales on these through the years. I have three 712s and a 715 but no R's. Wish I had a few more.
Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a Kaiser blade.

Re: Boker Tree Brand
Agreed, and when I bought the first one in 1986, although I recognized it was a quality knife, I as disapointed that it did not have the same snap as the Hubertus I bought in 1985, and they are not as cool looking as Italians but as you said, our tastes mature, and IMO, there is no mass-produced auto today that is as good as these.Tom19176 wrote:They are nice...When I first saw them years ago I did not think they were "cool" looking, but as my taste matured I got into them...well made and very usable as a pocket knife..Nice group!

Re: Boker Tree Brand
Very nice! What size are they? As Tom said, they look like a very usable pocket knife (if they aren't real big)
I was just thinking about how my Camillus TL-29 is probably one my favorite EDC knives, and these are similar shape, with similar spear point blades. But with the added benefit of being autos.

Re: Boker Tree Brand
That one with the rope scales is very uncommon. If you ever want to sell it please let me know.
Re: Boker Tree Brand
I've always wanted one of the blue ones.

Here are mine in a display case. Glass removed due to glare. I always like the gray ones.
