Boker Applegate - Fairbairn
Item #: BO-AF12
$303.95
This knife has had a long life. The first version was handmade by T. J. Yancy in Colorado in the late '70s or early '80s. When T. J. stopped making them, Al Mar made them in Japan. While Blackjack had their factory operating in Illinois, they made the knife, and they've been made by Boker in Solingen, Germany for some time now. It is my opinion that these are the very best value of all of the knives. The 6" double ground blade is German 440C hardened to 57-59 Rc. The surface of the blade is bead blasted. The handle is injection molded of fiberglass and Delrin®. Brass guard. Ships with a Kydex® sheath. Measures 10-3⁄4" overall. Weighs 8.6 oz. Made in Germany.
Suggested retail $357.00.

Böker Knives
From their beginnings in Remscheid, Germany more than 100 years ago, Böker "Treebrand" has survived countless hardships and has become the leading pocket knife maker in Europe. The chestnut tree that once grew near Böker's German factory represented an ideal symbol, and thus the "Treebrand" label was born. Today, the Böker "Treebrand" label represents a continued drive for higher quality and craftsmanship. Böker manufactures high quality pocket and hunting knives for sportsmen and collectors.
