Product detailed description
In the 15th and 16th centuries, the Swiss dagger was a common weapon among Swiss pikemen. Due to its length, it occupied a position between a dagger and a sword and, as a secondary weapon, was not issued but purchased individually. Its typical shape with a curved crossguard and pommel dates back to the 13th century.
Following the successful Twisted Damascus edition comes the Swiss Dagger Mosaic Damascus – a true pinnacle of collectible craftsmanship. The mosaic Damascus steel, created by renowned blacksmith Chad Nichols, is not made by layering, but by complex folding, cutting, and forging of steel into a fine, repeating pattern, making it the supreme discipline of Damascus forging.
The diamond-cut blade, ground on both sides, follows historical designs and offers exceptional strength and efficiency. The highly polished steel pommel and crossguard perfectly complement the certified ebony handle, which emphasizes the knife's elegant appearance.
The dagger comes in a hand-stitched leather sheath, stored in a wooden box with a certificate of authenticity and a unique serial number. This strictly limited edition of 500 pieces worldwide is handmade at the Böker factory in Solingen.

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.
