Product detailed description
The Magnum Akito combat sword is truly functional and is suitable not only for kata (training forms) or iaito (drawing), but also for tameshigiri (cutting tests). A particularly high quality, sharp and cutting blade is needed to perform chopping tests. The blade of the Akito katana is made of 1045 carbon steel hardened in clay with a true hamon (hardening line). The overall construction is extremely robust. The blade is almost continuous to the end of the hilt and is held by two mekugas. The functional sword comes with a beautifully lacquered wooden scabbard including the traditional eyelet (kurigata and shito dome).

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.
