For those not familiar with the term INTEGRAL it means that where generally a normal full tang bladed knife is made, the bolsters are then put on either sides as seperate pieces. An Integral knife means that it is fully made out of one piece of steel including all the curves around and including the bolsters. Inetgral knives are generally seen as the hardest knives to produce starting with a fatter and larger piece of steel to enable the detail to be cut for a beautiful finish knife.
Stamped on one side of the blade is the Tree motif and BOKER SOLINGEN GERMANY

The history of Boker can be traced back to the 17th century. In the 1800’s the German tool maker was producing swords and other blades for use in the various wars that were going on in Europe at the time. In the1860’s the company had split with part of the family emigrating and setting up factories in America. The German and American factories produced similar products. Both used the “Tree Brand” logo. The “Tree Brand” logo represents the giant chestnut tree that was at the front of the original Boker factory in Remscheid, Germany in the 17th century.
We also have an original Boker AppleGate/Fairburn Combat Dagger available which can be seen in the last image and also at this link:
