1994 Boker Tree Brand Classic 4474 Stockman – Stag Handles – Solingen Germany – 125th Anniversary Edition

This limited-edition Boker Tree Brand Classic stockman knife was produced in 1994 to commemorate the company's 125th anniversary (1869–1994), a milestone celebrated by few knife manufacturers with such enduring legacy. Crafted in Solingen, Germany—the cutlery capital of the world—this knife bears the rare “1869–1994 125 Boker” bolster etching and the distinctive Tree Brand shield, marking it as both a tool and a collectible.

The knife features genuine stag handles with gorgeous texture and coloration, cradled by polished nickel silver bolsters and brass liners. It boasts three carbon steel blades—clip point, sheepfoot, and spey—all factory etched and marked “Tree Brand Classic 4474 440C.” The snap is excellent on all three blades, with no play and solid walk-and-talk.

Whether you’re looking to add a German-made classic to your collection or seeking a piece of cutlery history, this 1994 Boker is a striking and functional heirloom.
