Boker knives have carried the chestnut tree since Heinrich Boker founded Heinr. Boker & Co. in Solingen in 1869, and the family registered that tree crest back in 1674. Boker is not one factory. It is a set of lines built in different places to different price points, and knowing which one you are holding tells you most of what you need to know about the knife.
The Solingen manufactory is the top of the catalog. It turns out stag and jigged bone traditional knives like the Treebrand Barlow, straight razors, and Traditional Series 2.0 trappers, stockmen, and copperheads. Boker made the first series production Damascus pocket knives in 1980, and the Damast Annual 2026 carries that tradition today. Solingen also builds the BFF Packlite, the RWL34 Kiboku, and the MagnaCut Sherman EDC II.
Boker Plus is the modern line, designed in Germany and largely built in Asia around outside designers. Lucas Burnley anchors it with the Kwaiken, from the Air and Mini Flipper to the Grip Auto and an OTF, plus the Kihon family. Brad Zinker's Urban Trapper is one of the slimmest gentleman's folders going, in more than a dozen variants, and Kansei Matsuno's Wasabi and LRF open on a front flipper. Cross shop them against our folding knives.
The Boker Kalashnikov line, launched in 2002, is the brand's push button workhorse in D2, running from full size to the Mini, the KALS, and an OTF. The Strike adds more automatic knives to the mix.
In 2025 Boker opened a factory in Denver, Colorado, its first US production since its New Jersey plant closed in 1945. The Boker USA Backcountry in 154CM and MagnaCut was the first knife off the line, followed by a stonewashed OTF. Magnum sits at true entry pricing in 440A and D2, and Boker Arbolito has built hunting and household patterns in Buenos Aires since 1983.
