Böker Magnum Shango
Code: 01BM0003Related products
Product detailed description
Strength, passion, and justice – fundamental values deeply rooted in the West African deity Shango, which have been transferred to the Boker Magnum Shango pocket knife, as if accompanied by a powerful spell. The heavenly father, god of thunder and forefather of the Yoruba people, was known not only for his power but also for his charisma, which, according to legend, captivated three women – including the river goddesses Oshun and Obba. In their honor, Shango features a blue G10 handle reminiscent of the color of water.
His mystical power is also reflected in the drop-point blade made of 440A steel with a satin finish. The blade can be easily opened with a thumb stud and securely locked with an intuitive crossbar lock. The knife comes with a clip for tip-up carrying (right-handed).

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.
