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.

Tenshi Micarta
With the Boker Plus Tenshi, Japanese knifemaker Kansei Matsuno has designed another extremely slender gentleman's knife in which he combines Far Eastern style elements with modern construction methods and materials. The compact dimensions of the slightly curved pocket knife are the perfect compromise between pocket suitability and versatility. The modified Tanto blade made of VG10 with an impressive hairline finish is easy to operate thanks to a thumb stud and ball bearing, while a tried-and-tested linerlock takes care of the locking mechanism. The reddish-brown handle scales are made of hard-wearing Micarta and always lie securely in the hand, even when wet, thanks to the fine texturing. Supplied with a removable deep-carry clip (tip-up/r) and a high-quality nylon pouch for storage. Details: Overall length: 15,5 cm Blade length: 6,8 cm Weight: 54 g Blade thickness: 1,9 mm Blade material: VG-10 Handle material: Micarta Designer: Kansei Matsuno Lock: Linerlock

Micro USB OTF
An OTF knife, compact, dynamic and always with you - sounds too good to be legal? Boker makes it possible and presents the Boker Plus Micro USB OTF, an OTF automatic knife (Out The Front) with a 41 mm long utility blade that is legally compliant in Germany and can even be carried freely. This is made possible by the classification of the BKA (file number SO13-2022-36166803), under which the knife is not covered by the Weapons Act due to its small blade dimensions and is therefore not subject to any restrictions on carrying. As a handy automatic knife, the little genius quotes the characteristic design of common USB sticks and relies on bite instead of bytes: cardboard boxes, packaging or ropes are effortlessly cut through by the cutting blade made of D2. The switchblade has a slide on the front of the handle that allows the blade to come out of the handle with an energetic click and discreetly disappear again when pressed again. Thanks to this practical one-handed operation, small everyday cutting tasks are completed in almost no time at all. Visually, the elegant satin finish of the blade harmonizes perfectly with the black handle made of CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum and the pithy tip-down (r) clip. Thanks to the lanyard loop, the knife can also be ideally carried on a keychain. Away from the computer, into the everyday adventure - USB has never been so much fun! Details: Overall length: 10,9 cm Blade length: 4,0 cm Blade material: D2 Handle material: Aluminium Lock: OTF

Bokken White Oak Katana
The Bokken, usually called Bokuto in Japan, is a wooden sword that is mainly used in Japanese martial arts such as Laido, Aikido, Kenjutsu or Kendo. Instead of using sharp swords such as the Katana or Wakizashi, the Bokken is a much less risky way to train various forms of exercise. Due to the lifelike dimensions in size and weight, the Bokken can be used to realistically perform everything from partner exercises to fixed sequences of movements (Kata). The large Magnum Bokken made of unvarnished white oak corresponds to the dimensions of a Katana sword and is characterised by its high durability. Treating the wood with oil (e.g. Boker camellia oil) gives it additional protection against dirt and moisture and increases the grip in sweaty hands compared to lacquered wood. Details: Overall length: 103,0 cm Blade length: 78,0 cm Weight: 519 g Blade thickness: 24,7 mm Blade material: Weißeiche Handle material: Weißeiche Lock: Feststehend

Rescue OTF
First and foremost, a rescue tool must meet one central requirement: in an emergency and stressful situation, it must be quick, easy and reliable to use. The technically best solution to meet this requirement is a construction with an automatic thrust blade (OTF, short for Out-of-The-Front) with a robustly constructed and carefully crafted mechanism. This poses a legal challenge for manufacturers in Germany, because according to the German Weapons Act, OTF knives are initially prohibited (WaffG §1 Paragraph 4 in conjunction with Annex 1 Section 1 Subsection 2.1.1). For the rescue tool Boker Plus Kalashnikov Rescue OTF, however, there is now a notice of assessment from the Federal Criminal Police Office, which negates the weapon and prohibition properties of this tool due to the shape of the blade. (File number SO13-5164.01-Z-543) Possession and even carrying of this tool in public (in Germany) is permitted spring out or slide back completely into the handle.The heart of the rescue tool is a classic jumping mechanism with thumb slide, which allows the blade to spring out powerfully when activated or to slide back completely into the handle. The absolutely reliable and proven mechanism with a powerful spring was adopted from the OTFs of the jumping knife series Kalashnikov, which Boker has been selling abroad for many years, e.g. in France or in the USA.The blade designed as a rescue hook with a rounded tip prevents accidental injury during a third-party or self-rescue. The cutting edge with inner radius behind the tip enables quick and intuitive clipping of harnesses, cord and kernmantel ropes, as well as safe cutting of clothing of injured persons. The biting serrated edge in the second half of the cutting edge also enables the cutting of thick and encrusted ropes. D2 stainless steel was used for the blade due to its extreme edge retention in the pull-cut area. The handle body is provided with pronounced finger grooves for the required grip safety and is additionally textured to prevent slipping. The aluminum material used for the handle has the required strength combined with low weight. The indispensable glass breaker for breaking side windows has been provided with an effective steep taper. The core of the glass breaker is made of extremely hard tungsten carbide. For easy replacement when worn, the glass breaker has been screw-threaded to the handle. A deep-carry spring steel clip and nylon pouch. Details: Overall length: 22,0 cm Blade length: 9,0 cm Weight: 143 g Blade thickness: 2,8 mm Blade material: D2 Handle material: Aluminium Lock: OTF

Hermod 2.0
It was nine long days in which the Norse god Hermod rode through deep and dark valleys in the underworld to free his brother Balder from the realm of the dead. But this wish was denied him and all that remained was the memory and a magic ring that Odin, the father of the gods, had once placed on the grave of his deceased son. If Dirk Hofmeister of Midgard's Knives had been a Nordic blacksmith at the time, the saga might have ended very differently.With the Boker Plus Hermod 2.0, he presents another practical outdoor knife for which alternative handle scales in a wide variety of shapes, colours and materials can be easily printed out yourself. The Hermod 2.0, which is also designed as a rescue and survival knife, has a stonewash blade made of D2 and a full tang construction.

Distinctive jimpings in the thumb rest area and at the end of the handle further increase work safety.
