Mark Zalesky left a comment for Ricky Ray"Hi Ricky,
Well, excluding the Remscheid stamp labeled G1 on the chart, this is a pretty old knife. Hard to really say when this was made as there's not much to go on. It does appear to be imitation ivory celluloid so that likely puts it before…"
Ricky Ray left a comment for Mark Zalesky"Hi Mark,
Have you ever seen a Remscheid Boker this old? Not my knife, but I'm trying to buy it. Interesting to see one this old. Looks like the same cel material Boker used on the old corn knives and office knives. Thought you might enjoy…"

Mark Zalesky left a comment for Jeffrey P Dinkins"The knife I'm thinking of had steel handles etched with a guy racing along in an early motorcar, and the devil standing there shaking his fist at him on one side. Had a broken blade. I can't remember for sure who I sold it to, but I was…"

If you liked the…"
Mark Zalesky left a comment for Jeffrey P Dinkins"I have a good memory for some things, but a very poor memory for others (just ask my wife!) For some reason my memory seems to work best on good old rusty knives. I don't remember the knife roll incident but am glad that it worked out for…"
Jeffrey P Dinkins left a comment for Mark Zalesky"You have a very good memory. I do still collect Witte Hdw. I think what stands out in my mind is forgetting a small roll of inexpensive knives on your table at the Springfield, MO. show. You held on to them for a…"

Mark Zalesky left a comment for Ricky Ray"Hi Ricky,
Thanks for your note and the suggestion on the Boker group. I'll have a look. I don't visit here very often as running KNIFE WORLD and traveling to the shows takes a ton of time, but I try to keep up with what's happening as…"
Mark Zalesky left a comment for Jeffrey P Dinkins"Hi Jeffrey!
GAKC, that was a long time ago. Still have a lot of friends up in that part of the world, and a lot of fond memories from that time. Your name is familiar, but putting a face to it... not sure. You wouldn't be the guy who collected…"

- If it is an all Silver ( maybe nickel ) 3" - 3 1/4" I think I do, I will unload the safe and look. What can you tell me about Missouris Cutlery Company ? I hear someone is looking for pictures of MCCo. knives for a book . I have a few and would love to help with photos but don't know who to contact .

Hi Mark,
Glad to have you and all your knife knowledge aboard. I didn't realize you were a member of IKC until you joined the Boker group.

- You have a very good memory. I do still collect Witte Hdw. I think what stands out in my mind is forgetting a small roll of inexpensive knives on your table at the Springfield, MO. show. You held on to them for a long time and carried them around for a year or two and returned them @ Bunker Hill . That is a testament to your honesty and integrity
