BOKER BARLOW CASTLE BURG OAK FOLDING EDC KNIFE BO113941
Castle Burg is a landmark of the Bergisches Land, rising above the river Wupper near the Boker Manufactory. Count Adolf II. von Berg had the castle constructed on the foundations of a 10th century fortress. It was finished in 1133. Today, it is one of the biggest castles in western Germany, inseparably connected to the Duchy of Berg and the Counts von Berg (1068-1225). Even today, Burg Castle still reflects the enormous wealth of the dynasty and their far reaching influence in Northrhine-Westphalia. Count Engelbert II. von Berg was also the Archbishop of Cologne. We keep in touch with the historians of Burg Castle because the corporate history of Boker can be traced back to 1674, when the tree was first entered as the company’s trade symbol for tools, and because our history is closely connected to that of the Bergisches Land. Right now, large parts of the castle are being faithfully restored. This includes the replacement of ancient solid oak planks. This inspired us to preserve the historic material for future generations, skillfully turning it into handle scales in our Manufactory. This was the foundation of our knife series Boker Schloss Burg, comprising seven traditional knife styles steeped in history. Apart from the scales of historic oak wood sourced from Burg Castle (Schloss Burg), the knives also feature brass liners and blades made from O1 carbon steel. Highlighting the authenticity of the knives, the blades are finished with a special acid wash, which also protects them from harmful environmental impact. All styles are handcrafted by Boker Manufactory Solingen as a strictly limited edition of 1133 pieces worldwide. They come with a new version of the historic Boker tree symbol. The classic Barlow style with its typical elongated nickel silver bolster and slightly wider blade is a compact, pocket-friendly tool that also offers enough size and heft for most everyday cutting tasks.
NOTE: Wood is a natural material, colour may vary considerably.

Initially operating as a hardware factory in Solingen, Germany, Boker moved into the world of armoury when they began producing sabres in 1829. From there, the German manufacturer saw a lot of success and expanded its operations into a number of other tools and cutlery ornaments. In 1865, Hermann and Robert Boker moved to the United States and Canada, respectively. There, Hermann set up Boker & Co. in New York, and Robert created Casa Boker. The history of all three companies has remained intertwined with one another, maintaining a good relationship throughout their history. The second world war saw the original Boker factory in Solingen bombed and completely destroyed. Significant losses to the history of Boker occurred, and all of their manufacturing abilities were lost as well. Since then, the various operations relating to the Boker name have operated in harmony with Boker USA becoming the leading institution of the Boker name.What makes Boker Knives so good?

As would be expected for a high-end knife manufacturer, Boker is known for using high-grade materials in their products. They have also used a wide range of materials previously for their handles. One such example is the BOKER BARLOW CASTLE BURG OAK FOLDING EDC KNIFE, in which Boker have used oak wood from the Burg Castle to create the scales for this knife. Carbon Steel Now considered a classic of knife making, carbon steel is used by Boker as a great alternative to chrome steel. This is due to the extremely fine edge that can be created using this material. However, it is known for requiring some upkeep in order to maintain the knife in top condition. Chrome Stainless Steel A form of steel that is high in chromium and is one of the mainstays of modern knife making. Chrome steel is a material that requires very little maintenance and comes in a variety of different finishes. Great edge retention is a major contributor to the popularity of stainless steel blades. Damascus Steel A famous and undeniably beautiful steel for knife crafting. This isn't so much a material but more of an example of what fine craftsmanship is able to do to the look of a knife. See the BOKER PLUS Damascus Dominator EDC Folding Knife for a fine example of this technique. Created by using different metals and folding them over one another in the forging process, these are a fan favourite. Modern iterations from Boker now even include stainless models as well.
