Product Description : Massive 7 3/4-Inch stainless steel blade is 1/4-Inch thick and features a full tang. -InchS-Inch style brass guard. Made in Solingen. With Western-style leather sheath. Overall length: 12 5/8-Inch. Weight: 17.5 oz. First, I must admit I've always liked Boker knives. My grandfather carried a Boker until the day he died. So, when I saw this knife...I wanted it.It is a classic Bowie style and really is a "looker" with it's brass "S" shaped hilt and large blade. The sheath may rate better than the knife, it is perfect, top quality and was made in England. The knife is a Solingen product, unlike several Bokers which are now made in China, and I don't buy junk from China.I gave it four stars and here's why it didn't get five: the hilt was slightly bent, the wood grip shows some sanding marks, not what I expected from a $250. knife.I'll never use this knife. It's a wall hanger to be admired and to remind me of my grandfather, the man who started my hobby of knife collecting.PS I did fix the bent hilt and sanded the wood handle smooth, so now it gets a 4.5 rating.
