I acquired this Knife a While Back. It is a Bicentennial 1976 Boker Heritage of Freedom Knife.
The Box and all The Paperwork are Correct, as is the Flag on the Blade. The Catch is that these
Knives Came with Cracked Ice Celluloid Handles. THIS Knife has Absolutely Beautiful Stag Handles.
There is no mention of the Stags in the Paperwork. I have the Collection Book with the Knife in it.
It even Mentions the fact that the Celluloid handles were Very Problematic due to The Celluloid breaking down over time. This Causes Shrinkage, Gassing that will cause general Corrosion on the blade as well as the other hardware. I had one before and that was exactly what happened to it. Handles Shrank Like Crazy too. I am thinking That a very Good Knife Smith Must have replaced the
handles, or it was done by Boker. Knife was made in Germany. Either way it was a Great Job. I can't
find a single Flaw. Coolest Stag Slabs Too.
