Product detailed description
Hunters have appreciated the Boker Optima line for years as a practical alternative to fixed blade hunting knives. It's not just the compact size of the pocketknife and the ability to mount interchangeable blades for tool-less hunting that have earned the Boker Optima its excellent reputation. In this special variant, the hunting pocketknife features a damascus blade hand-forged by Chad Nichols with 150 layers in a "Coibelt" pattern that opens classically with a nail notch and is held in place by a sturdy backlock lock. The nickel silver handle has a certified Desert Ironwood blade and completes the knife's refined look. To protect the Boker Optima Desert Ironwood Damascus from dirt and scratches, the knife comes in an elegant felt sheath. Handmade in the Boker factory in Solingen.

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.
