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.

Product Highlights:

80-layer Damascus steel with PVD finish, hand-forged by Chad Nichols in the “Tread” pattern, inspired by the Camaro Z28 cowl-induction hood. Components from Camaro’s control arm used in the blade.

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 "Försternicker" Hunting Stag Knife

- Made in Solingen / Germany

Introduction:

With the Boker Försternicker, we are calling on traditional values, since this vintage version of the Nicker used to be a popular part of our program several decades ago. The slightly wider, curved blade is typical for this design, offering a somewhat larger task profile than the classic pointed hunting knife. The curved spine with subtle thumb grooves add to the comfortable grip and highlight the exclusive design.
The Försternicker is ideal for all outdoor tasks on the hunt, since the sturdy blade with its high flat grind combines stability with excellent cutting properties. The use of modern Böhler N690 for the blade highlights the exceptional practical value thanks to the superior edge retention compared to classic nicker steel. It is also easy to sharpen.
The nickel silver bolster and butt give the Försternicker an excellent grip. The knife is easy to carry in the classic nicker sheath. With scales made from carefully selected stag.

Specifications:

Steel: N690
Blade length: 4.330“ inch / 110 mm
Total length: 8.858” inch / 225 mm

Boker Kalashnikov Bayonet Damascus Folding Knife

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

In 1947, Mikhail Kalashnikov presented the AK-47 assault rifle he had designed to the Red Army and immediately convinced the decision-making bodies of its development. Only two years later, the now world-famous AK-47 was officially put into service as the "7.62 mm Awtomat Kalasshnikova obraztsa 1947". Even then, the simple and reliable design as a gas pressure loader with a rotary head breech, the consistent use of sheet metal stampings that could be produced quickly and inexpensively, and the adherence to a cartridge class introduced by the Wehrmacht with the StG 44 with an average performance between submachine gun and rifle ammunition were trend-setting to this day. These features resulted in the Kalashnikov system being the most widely built and replicated handgun in history, with an estimated 100 million made worldwide today.

Introduced in 1959 along with the AKM, the revised variant of the AK-47, the bayonet was no less revolutionary and formative for later designs than the famous assault rifle itself. The concept was based on a knife originally developed by R. Todorov for combat swimmers. It marked a move away from long bayonets, which were used purely as stabbing weapons, to a short, mountable utility knife with insulated wire shears and a multifunctional back saw.

Mikhail Kalashnikov personally visited the Boker Manufactory in Solingen in 2002 and officially introduced the Boker Kalashnikov line of knives to the public. More than 70 years after the AK-47 entered service, we now present a truly exceptional special edition model of the knife line and once again honour his brilliant engineering achievement. The Boker Kalashnikov Bayonet Damscus is equipped with a unique Damascus blade made from the steel of the 6Ch3 and 6Ch4 bayonets according to the GRAU index of the former Soviet Army and decorated with the signature of General Kalashnikov. The stainless Damascus by Chad Nichols consists of 80 layers and is forged by hand in the Virus pattern. It features an unusually intricate pattern that is the result of a very controlled forging process. The blade with the pandur tip adopted from the bayonets is opened with the help of the thumb stud and locked by a sturdy linerlock.

The handle is CNC machined from a block of 6061-T6 Aluminum and then hardcoat anodized black. The stabilized inlays are made of domestic hornbeam wood, reminiscent of the stock wood of the famous assault rifle, and together form the shape of the forend's distinctive vents. The Russian Amber Shellac colour of the original stocks has been precisely matched. They are also CNC milled from the solid and inserted by hand. All screws and the clip (tip-up/r) are also black anodized. Handmade in the Boker Knife Manufactory in Solingen. Delivery with noble floating display, certificate of authenticity and individual serial number.

Specifications:

Steel: Damascus stainless steel
Blade length: 3.779“ inch / 96 mm 
Total length: 8.976” inch / 228 mm
Handle length: 5.196” inch / 132 mm

German Böker Stag Pocket Knife "Mono CPM"

Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

As familiar as it used to be, the single-blade Boker hunting pocket knife had been missing from our product range for a long time. However, we listened to the many inquiries we received regarding a new version - and so, this particularly sturdy knife is once again complementing our Trio and Quadro series. Focusing on the most important feature, which is the potent 3.5 mm blade, the Mono is the perfect knife for the huntsman who doesn't care for additional tools. The blade is secured via the usual back lock. The nickel silver bolsters and stag scales pay homage to tradition. The blade is made from powder metallurgical CPM CruWear with great edge retention. With its outstanding performance profile and a Rockwell hardness of 62-63 HRC, this steel has already set the standard for the Trio CPM and Quadro CPM.

Specifications:

Steel: CPM-CruWear
Blade length: 3.503“ inch / 89 mm
Total length: 7.677” inch / 195 mm
Handle length: 4.173” inch / 106 mm
Handle scales: Stag Horn

Blade thickness: 3.5 mm
Overall weight 130 gr.

Additional informations about "edge retention":

Edge retention describes the resistance of the edge of a blade against being dulled by chemical, mechanical and thermal influences. It expresses how long the blade remains sharp under certain circumstances and over a certain period of time. This property is determined by the blade material, the production process employed to make the blade, and its edge geometry. Another major factor is the behavior of the user, which has a significant influence on a blade\'s edge retention. If the knife is used incorrectly or not for its intended purpose, the edge will wear out quickly and might even be destroyed.

German Böker Stag Pocket Knife "Quadro CPM"

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

The Boker Hunters Knife Quadro continues to delight the traditionally oriented hunters. The classic scales made of stag give the Pocket knife an extraordinary charm. A special feature of knife scales made of stag  is their individual shape. While wood handles differ mainly in their grain and color, scales made of stag are also characterized by their very specific surface structure, which makes each item a unique piece of art.

The demand for premium steels with extreme edge-holding is also immense for hunting applications, with a traditional knife design generally given preference in this case. Starting immediately, our extensively field-tested Trio hunting classic is optionally also available with a powdered-metal primary blade made from CPM-CruWear with a Rockwell Hardness of 62-63 HRC. This extraordinarily wear-resistant blade steel gives woodsmen significantly longer use between resharpenings compared to traditional 440C. The original design of the Quadro CPM was otherwise left intact, giving traditionally oriented hunters continued enjoyment. It also features a gutting blade, a saw and corkscrew.

Specifications:

Steel: CPM-CruWear
Blade length: 3.346“ inch / 85 mm
Total length: 7.677” inch / 195 mm

German Böker "Siwss Army Dagger"

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

The Swiss Dagger was a common weapon of the Swiss pikemen in the 15th and 16th century, which often had a middle position between dagger and sword due to its blade length. The dagger, also known as Baselard, was usually not issued as ordinance weapons, but had to be purchased privately by the soldiers and then served as a secondary weapon. Characteristic of the Swiss Dagger is the design of the pommel and the crossguard. The unusual, curved design can be traced back to the early 13th century and can also be found in the authentic design of our hand-made edition. Handpicked local cherry wood is used for the handles of the dagger, which has enjoyed great popularity since ancient times, especially because of its reddish color. The dagger blade, sharpened and pointed on both sides, already had a diamond-shaped cross-section in historical models, because this construction proved to be extremely stable and effective. It is made of the classic Carbon Steel C75 and impresses simply because of its length. The satin-finished blade is marked with the original Boker blade logo from the 1930s. The logo and the individual serial number guarantee the authenticity of the knife and stand for consistently high production quality. With elaborate metal sheath according to the historical models.

Specifications:

Steel: C75
Blade length: 8.622“ inch / 219 mm
Total length: 14.173” inch / 360 mm
Handle length: 5.551" inch / 141 mm

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.

Specifications:

Steel: Damascus 
Blade length: 3.346“ inch / 85 mm 
Total length: 7.874” inch / 200 mm
Handle length: 4.527” inch / 115 mm
Handle scales: Micarta

Blade thickness: 4 mm
Overall weight 139 gr.

German Böker "Trench" Knife Grabendolch

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

During the positional war during the First World War and the resulting trench warfare, many of the insufficiently equipped soldiers developed auxiliary weapons, which were manufactured in field forges and workshops on and behind the front. In the course of the battles, however, it became clear that the soldiers' equipment and armament did not meet the requirements of this particular fighting style. In 1915 Boker was therefore commissioned by the Ministry of War to develop a compact combat knife that was ideally suited for precisely this purpose.
The true-to-the-original Boker Trench Knive also has a stainless steel blade made of C75. This carbon steel with an enormous edge retention requires appropriate care today as it did then. The massive stainless steel crossguard, the old official tang stamp on the blade, the local ribbed wood handle and the authentic sheath made of high-quality leather are also part of the original equipment. The knives are marked with a serial number.

Specifications:

Steel: C75 CARBON STEEL
Blade length: 5.669“ inch / 144 mm
Total length: 10.078” inch / 256 mm
Handle length: 4.409" inch / 112 mm
Handle scales: Walnut Wood

Blade Thickness: 3.39 mm
Overall weight 165 gr.

Additional informations about C75 steel:

C75 is a classic non-stainless carbon steel we use for special projects in our manufacture in Solingen. Carbon steel soon develops its typical blue-gray patina that is not a flaw but a natural property of the material.
