Vintage Boker USA Pen Knife with Mother-of-Pearl Handles – Two Blade – Circa 1950s–60s

This vintage two-blade pen knife from Boker USA is a refined example of traditional American pocket cutlery. Featuring elegant mother-of-pearl handles, brass liners, and nickel silver bolsters, it blends utility and sophistication in a slim, gentleman’s profile. Both blades show signs of age and light use but retain their functionality and charm. The tang is clearly stamped “BOKER USA,” indicating manufacture before Boker’s U.S. facility closed in the early 1980s.
