Böker Solingen Applegate Fairbairn A-F Boot Knife

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

Among the entire variety of combat knives, completely blackened versions are basically a must-have. The black versions are very popular, not just for military operations, but also due to the special charisma of such dagger and the added corrosion protection provided by the coating. So it was basically our duty to add such a variant of the A-F 4.5 and A-F 5.5 models. Hardly any other knifemaker has influenced the field of tactical knives as much as William H. "Bill" Harsey, his designs have earned him an excellent reputation in the knife world. His modification of the legendary Boker Applegate-Fairbairn combines the knife used by many elite units with modern elements. The larger blade width and the more favorable geometry of the double edged N690 blade with black PVD coating improve the cutting properties, while the blade length offers an optimum compromise between guidance and utility value. The tang reaches out of the end of the handle and it can be used as a windowbreaker. The CNC-milled handle scales made of black Micarta are extremely durable, pleasantly structured and offer excellent grip even when wet. Delivery includes high-quality black nylon scabbard by SpecOps.

Specifications:

Steel: N690
Blade length: 4.606“ inch / 117 mm
Total length: 8.740” inch / 222 mm
Handle length: 4.133" inch / 105mm
Handle scales: Micarta

Blade Thickness: 4.9 mm
Overall weight 168 gr.

Additional informations about N690 Steel:

The cobalt-alloyed N690 by Böhler (not to be confused with the lower-grade N695!) is a very reliable upper middle-grade steel we use at our Solingen manufacture for a wide variety of projects. The fine-grained N690, which ranks above 440C, offers convincing performance data in all areas. It is often sold as N690Co – the "Co" stands for cobalt and describes the exact same steel.

Introduction:

The various versions of the Boker Applegate-Fairbairn have been convincing special forces all over the world for years and have emerged as an icon among tactical knives.

The elite soldier coordinated secret operations throughout Europe during the war and even became President Franklin D. Roosevelt's personal guard. He trained Allied Special Forces in close combat and founded the "School for Spies and Assassins" in today's Camp David. Later he continued to work as a consultant and trainer, wrote numerous books about close quarter combat and began to develop and improve the perfect combat knife.

The smaller and thus more handy version of the Applegate-Fairbairn has been developed according to the same concept as its big brother. Fiberglass-reinforced Delrin handle with integrated stainless steel weights, brass cross-guard and 440C blade steel.

German Böker "Scout Buffalo" Pocket Folding Knife

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

The Boker Scout has been firmly connected to our name since 1985. No one can say today if anyone would have expected that the pocket knife would be one of the most successful and popular Knifes from our range. But these many years in short-lived fads, that are also not unusual on the knife market, is definitely special. While no other model has had as many versions as the Scout over the years, the basic specifications never changed. The extremely stable body is from a single piece nickel silver which is produced by sintering. The hollow ground blade made of stainless N690 contributes with its memorable shape to the incomparable appearance of the Scout. A classic Backlock keeps the blade safely open. When the knife is opened, the spine locks into a notch on the back of the blade. To close the knife, push down the exposed part of the spine. The harmonic overall impression of this classic is completed by pleasantly shaped handle scales made of Buffalo Horn, which are elaborately hand polished to a high gloss.

German Böker "Sherman EDC" Folding  Knife

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

The great success of the Boker M4 Sherman Damascus, which is due not only to the history of the historic Damascus steel but also to the design of the modern folder, has prompted us to use this as the basis for a leading and pleasing EDC with a Titanium framelock, which, despite the powder metallurgy of the blade, also carries a genuine piece of M4 Sherman Damascus.

For the blade of the Sherman EDC we have used Magnacut for the first time, which is not without reason being celebrated as a "miracle steel". Unlike the tool steels usually used, this steel was developed specifically for knife making. The three desirable properties of a steel - edge retention, toughness and rust resistance (stainless in the DIN category) - represent a conflict of goals. To make the steel rust-resistant, the addition of chromium is necessary, which makes the structure coarse, brittle and susceptible to fracture under normal conditions. High hardness, which has a positive influence on cutting durability, is usually achieved at the expense of toughness. With Magnacut, despite the high Chromium content of 10.7% and an impressive hardenability of over 62-63 HRC, it has been possible to achieve a very fine microstructure and thus high toughness and shock-load tolerance. The addition of nitrogen plays a central role here. Nitrogen is actually a steel pest in the alloy. However, due to sophisticated heat treatment, among other things, the nitrogen of the Magnacut is integrated into the crystalline lattice structure of the steel structure and thus achieves the otherwise contradictory material properties.

The central structural difference to the M4 Damascus model is the flipper, elegantly integrated into the contours, which allows the blade to slide open smoothly with a small impulse and invites you to play. The ball-bearing blade is opened alternatively by thumb stud and locked by a sturdy Titanium Framelock with stonewash finish. An overdrive stop acts as an over-extension protection for the lock. The milled titanium clip (tip-up/r) with a steel ball as well as the handle scales made of wild Carbon Fibre complete the harmonious overall picture.

A special highlight of the Boker Sherman EDC is the protruding backspacer made of Damascus, which is equipped with a lanyard hole in elongated slotted design. The Damascus of the backspacer was forged from various materials from the production of M4 Sherman tanks by Chad Nichols in the Customized Ladder pattern and is reminiscent of the tank tracks left in the ground by the heavy chains of the M4 Sherman.

Specifications:

Steel: MAGNACUT
Blade length: 2.952“ inch / 75 mm 
Total length: 7.007” inch / 178 mm

Böker Solingen "1906" Ebony Pocket Folding Knife

- Made in Solingen / Germany -

Introduction:

Some things are very much en vogue for a while before falling back into obscurity - usually well deserved. Yet others are much too beautiful, too precious to remain lost forever. The classic Boker 1906 is such a case. The design is more than a hundred years old, but its clear lines are still much loved today. Therefore, we spared no effort to bring the 1906 back to life. Neither old tools nor prototypes or design drawings existed, so we had to redesign the knife from scratch, guided by traditional methods throughout the whole production process.
The result is a charismatic pocket knife with a new lease of life, exuding fin de siècle charm – a very special piece mainly because of its clean lines and characteristic grind. Following the classic style, the plates are brass while the bolsters are nickel silver. The 440C blade is secured with a back spring. Certified imported Ebony handle scales add an elegant accent.

Specifications:

Steel: 440C
Blade length: 3.503" inch / 89 mm
Total length: 7.677” inch / 195 mm
Handle length: 4,173” inch / 106 mm
Handle scales: Ebony Wood

Blade thickness: 2.5 mm
Overall weight 79 gr.

Additional Informations about "Nickel Silver":

Nickel silver is the name of an alloy containing copper, nickel and zinc that has a silver-like look. In the knife industry, it is mainly used for fittings, especially for the so-called bolsters.

Discreet in its name - sovereign in appearance. The Boker TRPPR (pronounced: trapper) is an extraordinary gentleman's knife that transfers the spirit of the successful Boker Trapper into a new era.
