Messer von Böker

Bereits im 17. Jahrhundert wurde von der Familie Böker Handwerkzeuge hergestellt. Heinrich Böker gründete zusammen mit Herman Heuser, einem sehr bekannten Schneidwaren-Fachmann, im Jahr 1869 Heinr. Böker & Co. Die Mitglieder der Familie Böker hatten weltweit Bedarf für Rasiermesser, Scheren und Taschenmesser von dem Unternehmen Heinr. Böker & Co.

Bereits 1900 nahm der US-Markt den größten Teil der Böker-Produktion ab. H. Boker & Co. in New York konzentrierte sich sehr stark auf die Schneidwaren aus Solingen. Die Taschenmesser überflügelten in ihrer Bedeutung bald die Scheren, Rasiermesser und Bestecke. Die Nachfrage wuchs rasant, so dass die Amerikaner ebenfalls begannen Taschenmesser zu produzieren. Später kamen Zangen hinzu. Seit dieser Zeit gab es zwei unterschiedliche Linien von Böker-Messern auf dem amerikanischen Markt: Das gleiche Markenzeichen, sogar manchmal die gleichen Artikel-Nummern, einmal Made in USA und einmal in Solingen. Nur das Gangzeichen sorgte für Klarheit; einmal Boker USA und einmal H. Boker Improved Cutlery Solingen.

Während des zweiten Weltkrieges wurde das Solinger Werk komplett zerstört. Schon bald nach dem Krieg kam neues Leben in die zerstörte Fabrik. Wer von den treuen Facharbeitern den Krieg überlebt hatte, kam zurück und half, Gebäude und Produktion wieder aufzubauen und langsam zu dem hohen Qualitätsstandard zurückzufinden. Die Kontakte zu den amerikanischen Vettern wurden wieder aufgebaut und in wenigen Jahren wurde Boker, New York wieder Hauptabnehmer.

Anfang der sechziger Jahre wurde Boker USA verkauft und nach mehrfachem Wechseln von dem bekannten Scherenhersteller Wiss & Sons übernommen. Anfang der siebziger Jahre verkaufte Wiss an Cooper Industries, einem multinationalen Konzern. Cooper baute durch seiner Marktkraft den Böker-Namen wieder zu seiner ursprünglichen Größe aus. Dank der sehr regen Geschäftstätigkeit mit Cooper war man in Solingen in der Lage, die Produktion zu rationalisieren und neue moderne Produkte zu entwickeln.

Heute stellt das Baumwerk ohne Übertreibung das breiteste Sortiment an hochwertigen Sport- und Sammlermessern her, mit einer unübertroffenen Vielfalt an Materialien für Klingen und Griffe. Erst vor kurzem wurde die Böker Messerpalette erweitert durch eine Kooperation mit Jim Wagner. Der amerikanische Kampfkunst- und Messerkampfexperte hat zusammen mit Böker, basierend auf dem von ihm entwickelten Reality-Based-System, eine Reihe von Messern entwickelt. Jim Wagner bietet in Zusammenarbeit mit Böker zahlreiche Lehrgänge an.

Tirpitz-Damast Wood
For years, many of our customers have been interested in our extraordinary collectible knife Boker Tirpitz-Damascus. Its popularity convinced us to develop another model featuring the historic Damascus steel. The Boker Tirpitz-Damascus Wood is approx. 10 mm thick with a much flatter construction. Its much more elegant lines are enhanced by the full-length scales of domestic walnut. The matte wood of the contoured handle scales is CNC-milled in a three-dimensional design. The coat of arms and name of the Tirpitz takes pride of place on the front.The sister ship of the legendary Bismarck was the biggest battleship ever commissioned by the German Navy. Right after the end of World War II, a Norwegian company sent experts to salvage the ship's wreck off the coast of Norway, in order to make the highly alloyed steel available for civilian purposes.Norwegian divers retrieved parts of the armoring of the Tirpitz just for Boker. Our Damascus blacksmith took these pieces of living history and forged an exclusive and exceptional steel with a fascinating history. The mighty blade of hand-forged Damascus steel sports the pattern "Great Pyramid" in 300 layers, which makes this knife the highlight of any blade collection.The combination of Tirpitz steel with carbon tool steel also makes for an extremely durable Damascus. With a Rockwell hardness of 61 to 63 HRC, it is equal to any everyday task. The blade is secured with a 1.5 mm thick linerlock and opens with a removable thumbstud. With a clip (tip-up). The knife comes with a high-quality transparent frame case with a certificate and serial number. Details: Overall Length: 22,9 cm Blade Length: 9,9 cm Blade Thickness: 3,5 mm Weight: 170 g Blade Material: Damascus Handle Material: Walnut Wood Opener: Thumb Stud Opening: Manual Lock Type: Linerlock Color: Brown Blade Color: Uncoated

Naturensöhne MK. I
Gerrit and Andy, better known under the name of the YouTube channel Naturensöhne, inspire more than 460,000 followers on YouTube alone with their varied and entertaining content about bushcrafting, camping, hiking and equipment.Already prepared more than two years ago we started working with the two Berliners on the conception of our own Naturensöhne knife. With your nomination for the 3rd season of the successful YouTube format 7 vs. Wild, in which seven teams have to survive in the wilderness with equipment of their own choosing, the requirements for our joint project have become even more stringent. Since all the equipment has to be accommodated together in a 1 L Nalgene bottle, we had to completely rethink the dimensions of the robust outdoor knife.The result is the Naturensöhne MK. I: a special version of our successful outdoor/bushcraft model, the Boker Bronco. While the full-size handle securely encloses the full tang and ensures the usual excellent hand position and grip, the blade offers exactly what is expected of the most important tool for uncompromising outdoor use in 14 days Canada: exceptional edge retention, shock load tolerance, break elasticity and splinter protection. This is made possible not only by the powder-metallurgical CPM 3V blade steel, but also by the attractive Hardur premium coating, which is only used for high-quality cutting and punching tools. The approx. 5 µm thick layer of hard material, which also includes the cutting phase, increases the service life of the blade many times over and also ensures a surface with reduced friction . The advantages are obvious: the extremely sharp bevel requires no secondary phase. Especially when batoning, the Scandi shows very good splitting properties and high stability, since the entire blade strength is maintained over about 2/3 of the blade height. The resulting higher weight of the blade also offers more mass when chopping than a flat grind. The thermoplastic material TPE is used as the handle material. This is indestructible and, in addition to a perfect hand position, ensures the desired work safety both in dry and wet condition the most important tool does not fall by the wayside. Details: Total length: 20.9 cm Blade length: 8.9 cm Weight: 144g Blade Thickness: 3.5mm Blade Material: CPM-3V Handle material: TPE

Kaizen Black
The Boker Plus Kaizen takes up the deeply rooted approaches of Far Eastern philosophy and transfers their basic ideas from the spiritual to the material level. The Japanese term Kaizen consists of the syllables Kai (change, transformation) and Zen (for the better) and describes the continuous striving for improvement. Perfection becomes a temporary phenomenon and is only an intermediate goal in the constant process of change. As an elegant gentleman's knife, the Boker Plus Kaizen meets the spirit of the times and convinces with clever detailed solutions.Modesty as a sign of true greatness is perfectly embodied by the minimalist flipper, which almost merges optically with the slim knife and yet is highly functional due to its serrations. The satin-finished blade in D2 works its way through everyday cutting tasks with stoic calm and always finds its way back to its core thanks to the reliable linerlock. The decorative blade axis screw is the visual starting point of the Gentleman Folder as a symbol of change in form and function and ends in the straight lanyard hole at the end of the handle. The textured handle made of non-slip G10 fits comfortably in the hand and is fitted with a practical deep carry clip (tip-up/r). With high-quality nylon case for storage. Details: Overall length: 18,0 cm Blade length: 7,7 cm Weight: 46 g Blade thickness: 1,9 mm Blade material: D2 Lock: Linerlock
