The Burg Castle dominates the Bergisches Land and towers over the Wupper River near the Böker manufactory. The hilltop castle, completed in 1133, was built by Count Adolf II of Berg on the foundations of a 10th-century hillfort. Today it is one of the largest castles in western Germany and is inextricably linked to the Duchy of Berg and the Counts of Berg (1068 to 1225). The Burg Castle still reflects the immense wealth of the Counts and their far-reaching influence in the Rhineland-Westphalian region. Count Engelbert II of Berg was also Archbishop of Cologne.
As the history of Böker dates back to 1674, when the tree was first registered as a trademark for hand tools, we also have strong historical ties to the Bergisches Land and are in regular contact with the historians of Burg Castle. Large parts of the castle are currently being restored to their original state, including the replacement of the old solid oak planks. This led us to the idea of preserving this historical material for posterity and expertly crafting it into blade handles in our manufactory.
Based on this, we have designed the Böker Schloss Burg knife range, which is steeped in history and includes seven traditional knife models. In addition to the scales made of historic oak wood from the Schloss Burg, the models are characterised by the use of brass plates and the blade material is O1 carbon steel. In order to emphasise the authenticity of the knives, the blades are given a special acid-washable finish that also protects them from the harmful effects of the environment. All models are handmade in the Böker manufactory in Solingen, are strictly limited to 1,133 pieces worldwide and bear the newly released Böker historical emblem.
The classic trapper owes its name to the American rangers who ranged across North America as hunters and trappers. They were among the most important explorers and pioneers of European settlement on the continent and were often the first to make contact with Indians and Inuit. The slim design makes this traditional knife an ideal companion for everyday use. With individual serial number

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.
