Boker 715
I picked up this older Boker 715 a while back. Compared to the 715Rs and 712Rs it has a carbon steel blade (no R), a longer spring cover, a bail, and the thinnest stag scales I’ve ever seen, which makes the handle about 1/3 thinner than the later 712Rs and 715Rs. Obviously, the blade has numerous dark spots which I haven’t decided whether to remove or not. I don’t want to do anything that might damage the etch.

That's an earlier knife with the long lever spring.

I would rather have that than a shiny new one!
