Historical Significance

The Boker Trapper Castle Burg knife is deeply intertwined with the rich history of Burg Castle, a significant landmark in the Bergisches Land, which towers over the river Wupper near the Boker Manufactory. This castle was originally constructed in 1133 by Count Adolf II. von Berg on the foundations of a 10th-century fortress. It is a testament to the wealth and influence of the Counts von Berg, particularly Count Engelbert II. von Berg, who was also the Archbishop of Cologne.

Connection to Boker's Heritage

Boker's corporate history dates back to 1674, and the company has maintained a close relationship with Burg Castle over the years. The restoration of the castle has allowed Boker to use ancient solid oak planks, transforming them into the handle scales of their knife series, preserving this historic material for future generations.

Knife Series Features

The Boker Schloss Burg series, inspired by the castle, includes seven traditional knife styles. Each knife is crafted with:

The Classic Trapper Design

The Boker Trapper knife is designed with the American outdoorsmen in mind. These trappers were pivotal in exploring and mapping the North American prairie, making contact with indigenous peoples and aiding European settlers. The Trapper's slender design makes it an ideal everyday companion, blending utility with historical allure.

Limited Edition

Each knife in this series is individually serialized, adding to its exclusivity. The blades feature a new version of the historic Boker tree symbol, representing a legacy of quality and craftsmanship.

The Boker Trapper Castle Burg pocket knife is not just a tool but a piece of history, offering a tangible connection to the past while serving the practical needs of today.
