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 -

* Again available at June 30th 2024 *

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

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.

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
Handle scales: Cherry Wood

Blade Thickness: 4.5 mm
Overall weight 256 gr.
