Darktide Posted December 25, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 25, 2016 Picked up this Boker single-tang M3 for the equivalent of US $25.00 in the Philippines. Sadly, the stacked leather handle had completely rotted away, was just the blade. A local knifemaker replaced the handle and polished the blade. The pommel was not removed when the handle was replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundance Posted December 25, 2016 Share #3 Posted December 25, 2016 Is every Boker blade marked blade rare or is it something particular about this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIPH Posted December 26, 2016 Share #4 Posted December 26, 2016 That's the normal Boker blade marking, they did not stamp any 1943. Is it a double or single tang? SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKIPH Posted December 26, 2016 Share #7 Posted December 26, 2016 It is said that double tang are rarer, but you see more of those than the single tang. I still don't have a single tang Boker. One of the last ones I want for my collection. SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
