The Leo IV is the first fixed blade knife made using Damascus blade steel forged from the barrel of the famous German battletank, Leopard.

All previous Leo Damascus folders featured exotic wood inlays in CNC milled anodized aircraft aluminum handles. In this latest version, the inlay is not wood but 180-layer corrosion-free Damascus, which is carefully set into the handle by hand. The 3-3/4" drop point blade of 300-layer Damascus is hand forged from the barrel of the German battle tank Leopard I.

The Boker® Leo Damascus III is the third generation of high performance Damascus forged from the barrel of the German battle tank Leopard I. For the first time, Markus Balbach, the forger, has welded two other steels with the battle tank steel to create a blade with a large pyramid pattern.

This particular steel was forged from the barrel of the German battle tank Leopard I, thus the name Leo Damascus.

Böker's® version of the Eurofighter features a high performance Damascus blade forged from a Mauser BK 27 cannon barrel by German Damascus craftsman Markus Balbach. This exclusive pattern is called "Great Roses".

The Limited Edition Kalashnikov looks as wicked as the bayonets furnished with the combat rifle invented in 1947 by Mikhail Kalashnikov, who was then a young Soviet Army officer. While that rifle and bayonet was rugged, cheap and virtually indestructible, this knife is only rugged and virtually indestructible.

In early 2006, Boker introduced the Subcom folder, designed by Chad Los Baños. It quickly became one of our more popular sellers for the year. Its compact size coupled with its full sized blade made a very pocketable folder.

The skeletal handle and thumb ramps improve the grip. Measures just 5-1/2" overall and weighs a mere 3.3 oz. and only 3.7 oz. in the sheath.

In 1943 there existed two H. Böker companies, one in Solingen, Germany and one in New Jersey. The New Jersey company had been expropriated by the U.S. early in WWI. During WWII the U. S. government ordered production of the new M3 Trench Knife from nine companies.

Böker® began reproducing legendary fighting knives with Damascus blades in 1999. The knife was the Applegate-Fairbairn fighter. The most recent is their re-introduction of the German Trench Knife. In 1915, when the battle lines of WWI changed into a trench war, there was a growing need to supply the infantryman with a functional dagger. Henrich Böker & Company of Solingen, Germany received the government order to develop a compact fighting knife.

This coloration is the inspiration for the bone scales on these knives.

After more than 100 years Böker added a new trademark to the 140 year old Treebrand® pictograph of a huge Chestnut Tree. The new brand is the Double Tree® - two trees. This symbol represents Böker's highest quality. With extra attention to detail, these knives are the best that Böker's highly trained and motivated staff can produce.

Böker®, today's top German manufacturer of sporting knives, has taken two of their most popular models and added fine Mother-of-Pearl exclusively for members of the Knife Collectors Club™ and A. G. Russell's customers.

The Chestnut Tree trademark is as old as the Böker® company, almost 140 years. This last year, they decided to produce a super high quality line of knives and to mark them destinctively. They chose a double tree mark.

Occasionally, Boker does a special run on a popular style of knife. They add an etch, use different bolsters or change the inlay. This knife is one of those. We have purchased only enough of this one to place them on the internet. If you want one of these, order quickly, as we have a very limited stock on hand.

Last year, Boker® brought us a really fine Bowie for our catalog. The only problem was that the handle was too small for my medium sized hand. A small redesign, a new sample and a few months later we have a knife that not only pleases the folks at Boker and A. G. Russell, it will please you as well. A very fine knife.

Böker® has made a special run of this superb little gentleman’s pen knife with grade A premium Mother-of-Pearl handle scales and 440A blade steel.

The Leo-Damascus® V Custom is the first semi-integral knife forged entirely from the damascus steel made using the gun barrel of the German battle tank, Leopard. The Damascus blade steel is created by hand forging three different tool and ball bearing steels with the Leopard gun barrel steel.

"There have been many designs from Dietmar Pohl that we have introduced successfully, and we are glad to have him with us. Diligence and imagination are his specialties."

Crafted high in the French Alps, these tough knives of simple design and rugged materials have long been a favorite of Europeans.

Today, the knives are made with the same attention to detail, with modern carbon steel blades, pearwood handles and the traditional Opinel locking safety ring.

This knife and fork set begins with the centuries old pattern used by Bavarian hunters to carry in the pocket on the leg of their Lederhosen (leather shorts). Make a simple knife of that pattern (almost a perfect steak knife) with scales of the antler of European Red Deer, add those same great stag scales to a fork and we have a picnic set as elegant as anyone could wish for.

For over 100 years Böker® has been making fine quality knives, including stag handled pocketknives. For most of those years the Böker® brand was overshadowed by the size and advertising power of Henckels and by the sheer elegance of Hen & Rooster. Today, they make the finest knives coming out Solingen, Germany. In fact, they now manufacture both Henckels and Hen & Rooster knives.

Böker® has reached the very top of the German cutlery trade. All of the firms who overshadowed them in the past are gone, or if they still exist they are having Böker® make their pocketknives.

Giving up only a little of ceramic's edge holding ability, they have achieved a top quality blade material. It holds an edge like ceramic with toughness closer to steel.

Böker® has owned a factory in Argentina for many years. It was staffed with German cutlery workers who had immigrated to that country, and now with their children and grandchildren.

One of the most popular pocketknives Böker® has ever offered has been their Gentleman's Lockback. This version is the most elegant yet.

Shades of the AK-47 bayonet. This 4" blade of 440C stainless tool steel looks as wicked as the bayonets furnished with the combat rifle invented in 1947 by Mikhail Kalashnikov, who was then a young Soviet Army officer.

This is an interesting twist to Böker's® ceramic knives. I find this to be a serious and useful knife and recommend it for anyone with interest in the quality of ceramic blades.

This knife will remind you of the Infinity, Böker's® knife with a ceramic blade. Böker® has taken advantage of the same handle to create a general purpose knife with a 3-3/8" drop-point blade of 420J2 stainless at 55-57 Rc.

About 20 years ago Col. Applegate premiered his Applegate-Fairbairn Fighting Knife. The first version was handmade by T. J. Yancy in Colorado. This knife has had a long life. When T. J. stopped making them, Al Mar made them in Japan. While Blackjack had their factory operating in Illinois, they made the knife, and now they are being made by Böker® in Solingen, Germany.
