Fixed Blade Knife

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.

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.

Böker Solingen Pocket Knife "Barlow BFF" - Green Micarta

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

The Boker Barlow BFF designed by Lucas Burley is manufactured as a fixed EDC in full tang construction and in this version is supplied with handle scales made of green canvas Micarta. The renowned designer and full-time knifemaker from the USA bridges the gap between the historical roots of the tried-and-tested Barlow and the modern elements of his line design known as Post Tactical. 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 Manufactory at the end of the 19th century.

In this fixed version, tradition, everyday utility and a touch of tactical finesse find a harmonious consonance. The compact Barlow BFF is made of ice-hardened AEB-L, a versatile blade steel supplied with excellent cutting capabilities, good rust resistance and easy resharpening. The fixed blade version of the timeless classic is supplied with contoured textured micarta handle scales and feels comfortable in the hand. The decorative hollow brass rivet also serves as a lanyard hole and adds a visual accent together with the rivets of the same colour. Supplied with a custom-fit black leather sheath that ensures a high level of carrying comfort thanks to the integrated clip. Handmade in the Boker Knife 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
Handle length: 4.527" inch / 115 mm
Handle scales: Stag Horn

Blade Thickness: 4.3 mm
Weight 205 gr.
