button_man - there are photos on AAPK of the dolphin knives for sale. I don't want copy and paste them here because folks get angry about that (even though the seller might appreciate the publicity).

Re: Boker improved cutlery
button_man - to answer your questions from yesterday, here is what I know. The dolphin brand knives are available and I do not own any. Some folks apparently got theirs directly through Lucio DiBon / Francesco Mariani. I don't have their contact info. I have also seen them on AAPK. Commentary from o...

Re: Boker improved cutlery
Button_man - I understand your frustration, but don't get discouraged. Yes, you have had more than your share of bad luck. Regarding your recently acquired leverlock, you may well have a rare piece, just not in the way that you originally suspected. If Bill's and others thought that it could be a co...

Re: Boker improved cutlery
Massaro makes a great leverlock, I have several and all are fine examples. I have no explanation for the stamp on your knife.

Re: Boker improved cutlery
Clearly a Massaro to me now that the additional photos have been posted. Great observation Bill - identifying it as a Massaro from the original pictures. What always shouts Massaro to me are the shapes of the bolsters. Take a look at them and compare them to the several different shapes of bolsters ...

Re: Boker improved cutlery
My understanding is that Boker started the 712 / 715 series in the 1960s so I suppose this model could be the predecessor, but as mentioned, the stamp seems to be an older one. The thin bolsters remind me of older leverlocks as well. Of course, as Terry mentioned it could be a Frankenstein knife.I'm...

Re: ProTech Large Don tuxedo
Yes Terry, it has a very sharp tip. I like ProTech's mafia themed models, Godfather, Godson, Don, and all of mine arrived extremely sharp and pointy. Caution must be exercised when handling.

Great to see you post, Sal, and you too Abe!
Allen has shared photos of some of his ProTechs. They are beyond amazing!

ProTech Large Don tuxedo
Finally found a ProTech Large Don with a plain stainless blade, a tuxedo model. Apparently, large Dons haven't been made for a while and as of earlier this year they weren't on the ProTech production schedule for 2024. It is large for a ProTech, just under 10 1/2 inches open. It is quite the wrist s...

Re: Boker Button Locks
I have a large TopLock with no nail nick, which I remember as being the exception.
One thing I don't have but would like is one of those keychain models like in the photo.

Re: Boker Button Locks
Do you mean the Top Locks and Speed Locks? If so, my understanding is that the Speed Locks were factory auto and the Top Locks were manual from the factory and then could be converted to auto. What I do know is that I bought a bunch of Top Locks, both sizes, with various colors of dyed bone and rubb...
