German Böker 1969 Mach-1 Damascus knife

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

Unrestrained, with inherent power. Spirited, with a gentle disposition. The vastness in view, everyday life out of sight. The highway seemingly endless, with rough asphalt, crumbling yellow markings, and blowing desert dust. Before long, the endlessness gives way to a feeling of freedom, the sunset bathing the landscape and your spirit in a warming blanket of bliss and gentle wind. The deep sound of the powerful Windsor V8 Small Block engine with 186 kW (253 hp) has a calming effect, making the road trip in the Ford Mustang a very special moment. 

Inspired by the World War II fighter plane, the P-51 Mustang, Ford developed the Mustang in the early 1960s, which was launched in 1964. As a compact sports coupé, the affordable pony car, whose name derives from the galloping horse in the Ford Mustang's radiator grille logo, appealed primarily to a younger clientele. To counter the high-powered competition from Dodge, Pontiac, and Chevrolet, Ford made a statement in the league of powerful muscle cars with the Mustang Mach-1. The first-generation Mach-1 from 1969 was available exclusively as a fastback variant and differed from the production model in both appearance and performance: A sports suspension, matte black sports stripes, and a hood with cooling air intake, chrome exhaust tips and fuel cap, hood pins, front and rear spoilers, and a luxurious interior gave more than 72,000 units of this model a real boost in sales.

Over the years, the Mustang has become the epitome of the muscle car and is now continuing its legacy in its 7th generation. Boker references the vehicle's unmistakable design and makes the legend even more tangible in the 1969 Mach-1 Damascus knife of the same name. Parts from the wheel hub, wishbone, and suspension were used for the elegant 84-layer Damascus blade, which was hand-forged by Chad Nichols in a wave pool pattern inspired by the tire marks burned into the asphalt after a circular donut drift. The ball-bearing blade with its distinctive false edge opens smoothly via the removable thumb pin and cuts with rich torque. To prevent the passionate knife from getting out of hand, the liner lock locks the blade with the familiar coolness of a Ford Mustang. Finger recesses in the handle made of lightweight, high-strength aluminum are reminiscent of the fenders of the muscle car, while the gold-colored inlay of the front handle shell ties in with the side trim of the door and body. 

The expressive Silver Jade color scheme of the handle emphasizes the sporty look of the pocket knife and creates a noticeable V8 vibration in the hand. The sloping back of the handle is nostalgically inspired by the fastback contour of the car body, while the detailed blade screw makes the forward thrust of the wheels palpable. Straight and angular, the stainless steel clip, milled from solid metal, is reminiscent of the door handles on the Ford Mustang. Delivery includes a high-quality floating display, impatient hoof scraping, and the necessary dose of nonchalance. Handcrafted at the Boker factory in Solingen.

German Böker 1969 Z28 Shadow Damascus Knife

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

Boker 1969 Z28-Damast Shadow - Legends are not born—they are forged over time, waiting for the moment they shape history. They do not inherit a myth; they create one, leaving behind a legacy that endures.

In 1966, in Detroit, Michigan, at the heart of the American automotive industry, the foundation for another icon was laid. Among countless vehicles produced during this era, only a few achieved legendary status. The Chevrolet Camaro, originally conceived as a “pony car” for a younger generation, embodied compact dimensions, sporty performance, and attainable power—becoming a symbol of rebellion and freedom. Its success was immediate. Between 1966 and 1969, approximately 700,000 Camaros were produced, offered with twelve different engine variants. In 1969, the Z28, the final Camaro of the first generation, made its debut. Among enthusiasts, it is regarded as one of the finest Camaros ever built. Powered by a robust V8 small-block engine producing 216 kW (294 hp) and equipped with the Special Performance package, the Z28 secured its place among the elite muscle cars, complete with iconic racing stripes. Its motorsport DNA is unmistakable—the engine is a detuned derivative of the highly successful Penske Camaro from the SCCA Trans-Am racing series.

Inspired by this automotive legend, Boker brings the spirit of the Camaro Z28 back to life. What emerged is more than a knife—it is a lifestyle. The sound of a rumbling V8 on an endless highway, sunlight gliding across canyon walls, warming both road and soul. Moments of pure freedom, far removed from the everyday. This same emotion defines the Boker 1969 Z28-Damast Shadow, strictly limited to 300 pieces worldwide.

Created in collaboration with Italian designer Tommaso Rumici, this distinctive “Muscle Knife” captures the Z28’s power, character, and unmistakable design language. The ball-bearing drop-point blade is crafted from 80-layer Damascus steel with an elegant PVD finish, hand-forged by Chad Nichols in the “Tread” pattern—an homage to the Camaro’s sloped cowl-induction hood. Authentic components from the Camaro’s upper control arm are integrated into the blade material itself.

Smooth deployment is achieved via the thumb stud, while an aggressive stainless steel liner lock ensures reliable blade security. The black hard-anodized aluminum handle translates the vehicle’s body lines into a progressive, sculpted design. Distinctive elements such as the notchback profile, subtle rear spoiler, and gill-like rear fender vents are seamlessly incorporated. The pivot screw echoes classic muscle car wheels, while the straight, milled stainless steel pocket clip recalls polished chrome door handles.

Handcrafted in the Boker Solingen manufactory, the knife is presented in a premium display case, capturing the power, sound, and exhilaration of a V8-driven journey.

Boker Barlow Tirpitz Prime Damascus Folding Knife

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

PRE-Order available:

*This superb knife is again available at August 30th 2026*

Introduction:

The huge interest in our exceptional Boker Tirpitz-Damast over the years has convinced us to design another model supplied with the historic damascus steel. The Boker Barlow Prime Tirpitz Damascus, which is much more compact than the original model, is not only convincing in the collector's showcase, but also as a gentleman's knife suitable for a pocket. The blade is made of the unique Tirpitz Damascus, is supplied with a modern, elongated ricasso and opens with a nail nick. The sister ship of the legendary Bismarck was the largest battleship ever launched for the German Navy.

Immediately after the end of the Second World War, a Norwegian specialist company began to cannibalise the ship, which had sunk off the Norwegian coast, in order to make the high-alloy steel available for civilian purposes. Norwegian divers recovered parts of the Tirpitz's special armour from the fjord for Boker. From these pieces of living history, the Boker damascus smith exclusively forges an extraordinary damascus supplied with fascinating history. The Great Pyramid pattern in 200 layers distinguishes the hand-forged Damascus blade and makes the knife a highlight of any knife collection. However, the combination of Tirpitz steel with carbon tool steels also results in an extremely durable Damascus that, with a Rockwell hardness of 61 to 63 HRC, is up to any task in everyday use.

The operating safety of the history-steeped slipjoint pocket knife is further enhanced by a 90-degree locking mechanism when opening and closing. The characteristic drop shape of the Barlow can be traced back to the English pocket knives of the 17th century, which certainly makes it one of the oldest models ever. The name of the classic probably goes back to an enterprising Sheffield knife manufacturer of the same name, who began exporting the robust knives to North America around 1800. There they immediately enjoyed great popularity and so the first Barlow models also appeared in the history of the Boker Manuactory in Solingen at the end of the 19th century.

This integral version of the timeless classic with a contoured handle body made of black micarta, which is milled from the solid and also forms the characteristic bolsters of the Barlow. The lightweight construction can thus completely dispense with additional liners made of metal. Thanks to the likewise contoured handle scales made of domestic walnut wood, the unique gentleman's knife lies extremely comfortably in the hand. The decorative rivets are made of nickel silver, the pivot screw of stainless steel. Supplied with a high-quality felt case for storage. Handmade in the Boker Knife Manufactory in Solingen.

Steel: Damascus 
Blade length: 2.716“ inch / 69 mm 
Total length: 6.023” inch / 153 mm
Handle length: 3.307” inch / 84 mm

German Böker Camaro 1969 Z28 Damascus knife

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

Legends are not born; they are shaped by time until their moment to shape time has come. They don't live a myth, they create it and leave behind a venerable legacy. In 1966, the foundation stone for another icon was laid in Detroit, Michigan. In the epicentre of the US automotive industry, numerous vehicles see the light of day. Many of them are ordinary cars, while others are exclusively chosen. The Chevrolet Camaro was originally designed as a so-called Pony Car, which was intended to appeal primarily to younger buyer groups. Compact, sporty and affordable - the coupé was the stalwart for the semi-strong. Success was not long in coming. From 1966 to 1969, approximately 700,000 Camaro models with 12 different engine variants rolled off the production line. In 1969, the last Camaro of the first generation, the Z28, was introduced. Connoisseurs consider this model to be one of the best of all series. A massive V8 small block engine with 216 kW (290 hp) and a Special Performance Package propelled the Camaro Z28 into the select league of muscle cars, sporty stripes on the body included. The motorsport DNA of the now coveted collector's item cannot be denied either. The engine used is a toned-down version of the successful and highly decorated Penske Camaro from the SCAA Trans AM racing series.

Boker quotes the design of the Camaro Z28 and revives the legend. The result is more than just a knife. An attitude to life, the dignified road trip with the bubbling sound of the V8 engine on the seemingly endless highway, gentle rays of sunlight streaking across the canyon and warming the soul. Unforgettable moments without everyday life - just like the extraordinary Boker 1969 Z28- Damascus. In collaboration with the Italian designer Tommaso Rumici, a unique "muscle knife" was created that combines the distinctive character traits of the Camaro Z28 in form and strength. The elegant Damascus drop-point blade, hand-forged by Chad Nichols with 80 layers in the “Tread” pattern, reminisces of the sloping cowl induction bonnet of the muscle car. For this purpose, parts of the upper A-arm from the Camaro were used for the blade, that opens smoothly with the blue thumb stud, while the biting stainless steel linerlock reliably locks the knife in place. Based on a colour analysis of an original model, the finely tuned lacquer finish in "Le Mans Blue" was created especially for Boker for the aluminium handle, which interprets the lines of the body in a nostalgic way and comes up with exciting details. The notchback, the small rear spoiler and the gill-like air intakes on the rear wings have been beautifully integrated into the knife. The blade axle screw is lovingly inspired by the rims often used on muscle cars, whereas the straight-lined stainless steel clip, milled from the solid, is reminiscent of the chrome-plated door handles. Delivery includes a high-quality floating display, plenty of torque and a gentle breeze in your hair. Handmade in the Boker Manufactory in Solingen.

German Böker Tiger Damascus Folding Knife

Collector's knife *Serial numbered*

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

The impressive Boker Tiger- Damascus-adds a very special model to our series of pocket knives steeped in history. The collector's knife with a historical past is a real piece of living history and combines high-quality craftsmanship with authentic materials. Known worldwide as the Tiger, the Panzerkampfwagen VI was used by the Wehrmacht from the late summer of 1942. It is considered one of the most famous tanks in history, despite its modest production number of only 1350 units and the resulting low strategic importance. The development of the heavy tank can be traced back to 1937, and series production began in August 1942. Today, there are only seven preserved units, which are exhibited all over the world. Due to the low availability, the so-called Frankentiger was even assembled for this purpose from wreckage parts of different production years.

The tank parts we use come from a Tiger I of the Schwere Panzerabteilung 502, which was destroyed in combat in Latvia in the summer of 1944 in a heavily wooded area near the town of Bauska. Based on the wreckage found at the original excavation site, it was determined that this Tiger was an early to mid-production model. Examination of battle damage to the remains, military records and local historical accounts revealed that this Tiger tank collided with both a Russian T-34 medium tank and an SU-76 anti-tank gun, and was also damaged by a stationary 45-mm anti-tank gun. It is still unclear which of the impacts caused the most damage and sealed the fate of the Tiger. However, as several 76-mm fragments were lodged in the heavy armour, it is assumed that a nearby T-34 landed the decisive hits before it was destroyed 300 metres away, too.

Otto Carius and Albert Kerscher, two of the most successful tank commanders of the Second World War, were attempting to stop the advance of Soviet forces on Riga at the time, with the Schwere Panzerabteilung 502. The division was able to so devastatingly defeat the enemy blockade forces near Tukums that it was able to retreat to the Latvian Courland together with more than 500,000 other soldiers of the Heeresgruppe Nord. There the forces were encircled in the further course of the Soviet advance. The Kurland Cauldron served as a bridgehead and could be supplied by the Kriegsmarine via sea. It withstood six major attacks by Soviet forces until the unconditional surrender on 8 May, 1945.

The straight-edged Boker Tiger-Damascus is equipped with a unique Damascus blade made from the steelof the battle tank destroyed at Bauska. The non-stainless mosaic Damascus is forged for us by hand by Chad Nichols in the Intrepid pattern and is reminiscent of the tank tracks left in the ground by the Tiger's heavy tracks. Unlike conventional Damascus, the production of mosaic Damascus does not create layers, but complex Damascus bars are forged by hand into a mosaic in an elaborate and very complicated process. The ball-bearing blade is opened by a thumb stud and locked by a sturdy steel framelock with a stonewash finish, while a Hinderer lock-stop acts as an over-extension protection for the lock. The overall shape of the knife pays homage to the famous lines of the tank, while the decorative pivot screw is modelled on the main drive sprocket. The slightly contoured handle scales made of burlap Micarta are provided with precisely milled grooves, which are reminiscent of the characteristic surface structure of the Zimmerit coating of German armoured vehicles. With lanyard hole and milled clip (tip-up/r) witt steel ball. Handmade in the Boker Knife Manufactory in Solingen. Supplied with a classy suspended display, a certificate of authenticity and an individual serial number.
