The legendary King Sparta won glory and honour at the Battle of Thermopylae against the Persians. The life of the Spartans was characterized by iron discipline, hardship and above all learning the art of combat. Consequently, it is logical that the typical sword of the Spartans was a formidable and dangerous weapon. The broad duckbill-shaped blade of 1045 carbon steel is coated black, has a wide angeschliffene phase and sharp ground. The massive handguard is shaped like an open bugel and prevents slipping on the blade or losing the sword during combat. It includes an intricately designed sheath of black synthetic leather.

Böker - the history of the factory dates back to the 17th century, the original forge was then located in Remscheid. In 1829-30, production was extended to sabres and swords. At that time, the factory employed over 100 blacksmiths and sharpeners. In the second half of the 19th century, part of the family moved to the USA and Canada, where they established further production facilities. The last of the Bocker siblings, Heinrich, moved to Solingen where most of today's production comes from. Boker manufactures knives according to its own designs and those of well-known knifemakers.
The company now manufactures its products in Germany, the USA and Argentina and uses the marketing brand MAGNUM. Böker develops new types and designs itself and employs several designers. The knives are manufactured on CNC (computer controlled machine tools) with the highest quality.
