Böker Magnum Echidna – the power of myth in a modern concept
The Böker Magnum Echidna knife, designed by French designer Raphael Durand, draws inspiration from Greek mythology. Like the mythical Echidna – half woman, half snake – this knife combines elegance and raw power in one compact tool.
The satin-finished 440B steel drop point blade offers high durability and reliable performance even under demanding use. The back lock ensures secure blade locking and safety when working.
The ergonomic handle, made from a combination of GRN and TPE, fits perfectly in the hand and, thanks to its distinctive finger grooves, provides excellent control over the knife. The lanyard hole increases practicality when carrying in the field.
The package includes a durable nylon sheath that protects the knife and makes it easy to carry.
Böker Magnum Echidna – a reliable knife with character that combines mythical history, precise workmanship, and exceptional value for money.

The roots of Böker go back to the 17th century, when the family forge operated in Remscheid and focused on steel processing and edge tools. Over time, practical experience shaped a technical mindset that balanced durability, cutting performance, and reliability. The expansion into sabres and rapiers around 1829–1830 marked a decisive technological step, demanding precise heat treatment and consistent blade geometry. With more than a hundred skilled craftsmen employed, the company gained the capacity to refine production without losing its artisanal foundation.
During the second half of the 19th century, parts of the family moved to North America, establishing facilities in the USA and Canada. This international presence allowed experimentation with new designs and materials. Today, major production remains in Solingen, supported by manufacturing in the USA and Argentina, while modern CNC machining ensures tight tolerances and repeatable results. Böker develops knives in-house and in collaboration with well-known makers, delivering tools that combine engineering precision with practical usability, including the widely distributed MAGNUM line aimed at robust everyday performance.
