Code: 01BO547Related products
Product detailed description
The German SAR service Seenotretter is responsible for maritime search and rescue in the German North Sea and Baltic Sea areas - 24/7 in all weather conditions. Its mission is to "go when others are looking for shelter". In close cooperation with these professionals, the Boker Plus Seenotretter 01 knife was developed to meet the high demands of the high seas. As a classic knife, it is designed for professional and private users on sea and inland waters or people who work a lot with ropes. It is made exclusively of stainless steel. The 1.4116 main blade is partially serrated for cutting braided ropes and harnesses. Also included is a marlinspike (for untying reinforced knots) and a bottle opener. Both blades are held in place by a sturdy, dirt-resistant slip joint. Solid dome-head pins are used instead of screws to ensure durability and reliability. The Hanseatic Cross, the familiar emblem of the DGzRS, is stamped on the front of the handle. Carrying is facilitated by a deep carry clip. A generously sized lanyard loop protects against loss. For every knife sold, Boker donates €5 to the SAR organization German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS).

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.
