Boker Magnum Sicilian Needle

Post by Mario »

Have any of you seen these? They’re smaller Italian style stilettos that I think were made for the German market. They appear to be about 7 inches total in length if I’m not mistaken. Wanted to know if any of you had these. I think they were made in either China or Taiwan like most of the Magnum line.

I have one I bought 4 or 5 years ago but I think it's a little longer. Better quality than most of the China stuff out there but cost a little more. Mine doesn't have a button, it's spring assisted.

Thanks Tom. I stand corrected. I’ve never seen these for sale anywhere stateside. Grindworx has the Boker Magnum Italian Classic but that’s a spring assist and not an auto.

Interesting as it says it is a liner lock? It looks like a pick lock?

.

The specs list says the scales are pakka wood but the description says "The handle scales are made of dark plywood."

Apparently you don't get much for $46 these days......

One I have I was impressed with, but I'm easily amused.

That’s a mistake. I think they’re both swivel bolsters.
