Boker® -- A. G. Russell Knives

Boker® Eurofighter Damascus

Boker's® newest version of the Eurofighter features a high performance Damascus blade forged from a Mauser BK 27 cannon barrel by German Damascus craftsman Markus Balbach.

A set of two knives carried in a single sheath is not highly common even though knives have been carried this way since nearly the beginning of time. We have worked with Boker® to create this set that includes a hunter with a 3-5/8" swedged drop point blade and a caper with a 2-1/4" drop point blade.

Boker® Large Congress

Occasionally, Boker does a special run on a popular style of knife. They add an etch, use different bolsters or change the inlay. This knife is one of those. We have purchased only enough of this one to place them on the internet. If you want one of these, order quickly, as we have a very limited stock on hand.

Boker Chad MPT

The team of Boker and Chad Los Banos continue to produce winners. Similar in style to its baby brother the Subcom, the MPT is designed for those of you who prefer a larger blade than the original.

Boker® Little Big Horn Bowie

Last year, Boker® brought us a really fine Bowie for our catalog. The only problem was that the handle was too small for my medium sized hand. A small redesign, a new sample and a few months later we have a knife that not only pleases the folks at Boker and A. G. Russell, it will please you as well. A very fine knife.

Boker Trance

The newest design from the island of Hilo, Hawaii, from Chad Los Banos is the Boker Trance. It has a slightly larger size from the popular Subcom, and combines a powerful AUS-8 stainless steel blade and an ergonomically shaped handle.

Böker TrapperLiner

Böker®, once a middle-sized manufacturer of decent quality knives that fit below Hen & Rooster, Henckels and Puma, is today the largest cutlery manufacturer in Solingen and makes pocketknives for the Henckels and Hen & Rooster marks. Böker is also now the finest maker of traditional pocketknives in all of Europe. They have continued to make traditional knives while also embracing the designs of Michael Walker and other great makers following in Mike's path.

Böker Plus® U.S. M3 Trench Knife

In 1943 there existed two H. Böker companies, one in Solingen, Germany and one in New Jersey. The New Jersey company had been expropriated by the U.S. early in WWI. During WWII the U. S. government ordered production of the new M3 Trench Knife from nine companies.

Boker® Cinch Fastback Roper

The latest introduction of Cinch pocketknives offers a true workhorse for inside and outside the arena. Features a stainless steel handle, with western scroll engraving with 24K gold accents.

Böker® Leo IV Damascus Loveless Style Drop Point

The Leo IV is the first fixed blade knife made using Damascus blade steel forged from the barrel of the famous German battletank, Leopard. Böker's® Damascus forger combines three different steels (carbon tool steels and ball-bearing steel) with the Leopard's gun barrel steel to create a completely unique blade material. In a very complex and technically demanding forging process, he creates a Damascus steel with 600 layers.

Boker® Kalashnikov Folder

The Limited Edition Kalashnikov looks as wicked as the bayonets furnished with the combat rifle invented in 1947 by Mikhail Kalashnikov, who was then a young Soviet Army officer. While that rifle and bayonet was rugged, cheap and virtually indestructible, this knife is only rugged and virtually indestructible. The Boker Kalashnikov Limited uses the now nearly universal liner style lock popularized by Michael Walker and handles of 6061 TL6 aircraft alloy inlaid with Snakewood.

Boker KAL

Shades of the AK-47 bayonet. This 4" blade of 440C stainless tool steel looks as wicked as the bayonets furnished with the combat rifle invented in 1947 by Mikhail Kalashnikov, who was then a young Soviet Army officer.

Boker 2007 Damascus Folder

For their 2007 Annual Damascus Folder, Boker® has chosen to use the new Zirconia folder which they introduced just this year. The elegant and sophisticated character of this folder is a perfect choice for this long running annual collector's series of 999 knives featuring Damascus blades.

Böker® Leo Damascus III

The Boker® Leo Damascus III is the third generation of high performance Damascus forged from the barrel of the German battle tank Leopard I. For the first time, Markus Balbach, the forger, has welded two other steels with the battle tank steel to create a blade with a large pyramid pattern.

Böker Leo Damascus II

Last year Böker® offered a "Folding Hunter" with a blade of Damascus made from the barrel of the famous "Leopard I", the German battle tank. The steel, developed to resist the wear of many rounds going through the barrel in a very short time, brings great benefit to knife users. Plenty of strength and first class edge holding.

Boker Leo Damascus

This particular steel was forged from the barrel of the German battle tank Leopard I, thus the name Leo Damascus.

Boker Armed Forces Tanto Folder I

Boker, under the new label Boker Plus, is producing a series of knives designed to meet the critical demands of the Armed Forces. The Tanto Folder I is one of those knives. Designed for extreme conditions, this folder can stand up to just about anything.

Boker Stellar

Another addition to Boker's popular Super Liner series, the Stellar incorporates the same smooth curves and Walker-Lock that the original had. The titanium handles measures 4-1/8" long with celestial orbital cutouts to lighten the weight.

Boker Eurofighter

Like its namesake, the Eurofighter aircraft, this knife is fast and powerful. Designed to handle multiple tasks with ease and precision. The blade is a modified recurve style with a large false edge in the back made from 154-CM stainless steel at 59-61 Rc. and measuring 4".

Boker Appaloosa Folders

Boker's® brand new series of traditional folding knives is dedicated to the famous Appaloosa horse. The Appaloosa was introduced to Mexico by the Spanish in the 1500s and spread throughout North America. Known for their incredible strength and stamina, they can be recognized by their unique coloring - various shades of brown and white, in irregular spots. This coloration is the inspiration for the bone scales on these knives.

Boker Smoked Oak Folding Hunter

This traditional style lockback folder is a new version of a typical Boker. The clip style blade is new and the handle scales are crafted from smoked oak, a material I have never seen used for knife handles.

Next Generation of Subcom Folders

In early 2006, Boker introduced the Subcom folder, designed by Chad Los Banos. It quickly became one of our more popular sellers for the year. Its compact size coupled with its full sized blade made a very pocketable folder. For 2007, Boker is introducing different versions of the Subcom's.

Böker's Los Banos Subcom

This interesting little knife is from Böker®. It is made in Taiwan and carries their Magnum mark. They call it the Sub Com Folder, I call it the Sturdy Little Knife.

Böker DoubleTree Copperliner

The newest member of the Böker® Doubletree^™ family is the Copper-liner, a single blade Copperhead with a liner style lock. The Doubletree brand is Boker's way of telling you that this is the finest quality produced in Germany. The work is the finest available from the best workers in the Boker plant in Solingen.

Böker Limited Edition Double Tree Whittler

After more than 100 years Böker added a new trademark to the 140 year old Treebrand® pictograph of a huge Chestnut Tree. The new brand is the Double Tree® - two trees. This symbol represents Böker's highest quality. With extra attention to detail, these knives are the best that Böker's highly trained and motivated staff can produce.

Böker - Double Tree Large Stockman

Ernst Felix, owner of Böker® says that the tree as Böker's trademark is as old as the company - 138 years. A real chestnut tree growing close to the plant gave Heinrich Böker® the idea to choose this symbol for quality. In the early years, Böker shipped many knives to Africa and South America where few could read the company's name and the brand became known as the Tree Brand.

Boker - Double Tree Congress

The Chestnut Tree trademark is as old as the Boker® company, almost 140 years. This last year, they decided to produce a super high quality line of knives and to mark them destinctively.

Böker Andrey

The last top quality maker in Solingen, Böker® is using many European makers to design new knives for them. The newest is Andrey Titenkov from St. Petersburg, Russia. Ernst Felix, owner of Böker®, tells us that he met Andrey when on a trip to Moscow and selected this innovative folder from the several designs which he offered. This is the first knife Böker has created on their new 3D CNC equipment - notice the subtle shaping of the contoured high-tech aluminum handle.

BÖKER OPINEL Model OP8

Crafted high in the French Alps, these tough knives of simple design and rugged materials have long been a favorite of Europeans. The original Opinel line was created by founder Joseph Opinel in 1890. Today, the knives are made with the same attention to detail, with modern carbon steel blades, pearwood handles and the traditional Opinel locking safety ring.

Böker Stag Folding Hunter

This Böker® Folding Hunter has been made at our request. It is a variation of a standard Böker lockback. The differences are that the blade is high carbon tool steel and the bolsters have a satin finish instead of a mirror polish. Only 200 have been brought into the U. S. The handles are Genuine Stag.

Böker Small Four Blade Congress Green Bone

The bone handle scales on this small Four Blade Congress look a little different than what we traditionally expect in jigged bone. Böker® has devised a new jigging pattern that gives the impression of a spiral of bone wrapping around the handle of the knife. The knife itself is a little unexpected as well.

Böker Stockman & Whittler

Böker®, today's top German manufacturer of sporting knives, has taken two of their most popular models and added fine Mother-of-Pearl exclusively for members of the Knife Collectors Club^™ and A. G. Russell's customers.

This knife will remind you of the Infinity, Boker's knife with a ceramic blade. Boker has taken advantage of the same handle to create a general purpose knife with a 3-3/8" drop-point blade of 420J2 stainless at 55-57 Rc.

Boker Lambda Folder with Cera-Titan Blade and Checkered Rosewood Handle

Giving up only a little of ceramic's edge holding ability, they have achieved a top quality blade material. It holds an edge like ceramic with toughness closer to steel.

Boker Infinity Ceramic & Zytel

This is an interesting new twist to Boker's ceramic knives. I find this to be a serious and useful knife and recommend it for anyone with interest in the quality of ceramic blades.

Boker Bog Oak Damascus Folder

Boker® has reached the very top of the German cutlery trade. All of the firms who overshadowed them in the past are gone, or if they still exist they are having Boker® make their pocketknives.

Boker Clip Knife

To carry many of the folding knives being produced today, a pocket clip is a must. It can be clipped at the top of your pocket, with the knife protected inside, or positioned conveniently on the outside of the pocket when easy access is critical.

Böker® Scout or Camp Knife

The Böker® Scout (or Camp) knife is unusual in that, instead of 4 blades with several functions, there are six blades including a reamer-leather punch, corkscrew, screwdriver-cap lifter (bottle opener), can opener, 2-1/2" Traditional Spear Point blade, and a 1- 3/4" Clip Point blade.

Boker Stag Handled Pocketknives

For over 100 years Boker® has been making fine quality knives, including stag handled pocketknives. For most of those years the Boker® brand was overshadowed by the size and advertising power of Henckels and by the sheer elegance of Hen & Rooster.

Böker 1918 WWI Trench Knife Reproduction

Boker-Applegate Combat Boot Knife

An enduring design, this short dagger (bootknife) has a very simple blade and a first rate handle. The handle provides a very positive grip when the knife is held with the blade extended, rather than in a hammer (stabbing) grip.

Boker Applegate - Fairbairn

About 20 years ago Col. Applegate premiered his Applegate-Fairbairn Fighting Knife. The first version was handmade by T. J. Yancy in Colorado. This knife has had a long life. When T. J. stopped making them, Al Mar made them in Japan. While Blackjack had their factory operating in Illinois, they made the knife, and now they are being made by Boker in Solingen, Germany.

Boker Fixed Blade SubCom

The Subcom FB (fixed blade) is a formidable workhorse. Made from a solid piece of bead-blasted 440C stainless at 57-59 Rc., with a 2-3/8" long and 1-1/2" wide blade, you get a lot of cutting edge. The skeletal handle and thumb ramps improve the grip. Measures just 5-1/2" overall and weighs a mere 3.3 oz. and only 3.7 oz. in the sheath.

Bud Nealy's handmade fast access defense knife for the man who wears a suit, has been a very high ticket item. A joint effort between Nealy and Boker brought production models into the market place in 1999.

Boker® has owned a factory in Argentina for many years. It was staffed with German cutlery workers who had immigrated to that country, and now with their children and grandchildren.

The Argentine Gaucho, the "cowboy" of the Pampas, is as important in the Argentine culture as the American cowboy is in our own. Typically, the Gaucho carried a Winchester rifle, a Smith & Wesson revolver and a "punal".

Boker SnacPac Travel Set

Have you ever gotten take-out only to get where you were going only to realize too late that they hadn't given you any silverware? That's when you need the SnacPac.

Boker Picnic Knife and Fork

This knife and fork set begins with the centuries old pattern used by Bavarian hunters to carry in the pocket on the leg of their Lederhosen (leather shorts). Make a simple knife of that pattern (almost a perfect steak knife) with scales of the antler of European Red Deer, add those same great stag scales to a fork and we have a picnic set as elegant as anyone could wish for.
