Made in Germany by the craftsmen at Boker, the Swiss Dagger is a functional masterpiece. Product Features: 14 1/8" overall, with an 8 5/8" high carbon, satin finished, steel dagger blade. The handle on the Boker Swiss dagger is made of hand selected cherry wood. The Boker Swiss Dagger's characteristic hilt features the same crescent-shaped pommel and crossguard as original daggers, but now feature rust resistant stainless steel instead of iron. The blade is marked with the authentic Boker logo, which was used throughout the 1930's in Solingen. Their curved shape appeared as early as the 13th century and remained unique to Switzerland. The marking "Deutschland" (Germany) and a serial number on the reverse side of the blade guarantee the same high quality on every knife that leaves our factory.

A giant chestnut tree, shading the small Boker tool factory in Remscheid in the 17th century, is the oldest traceable symbol connected with the Boker family. Thriving during the age of sabers, the Boker factory in Germany was producing as many as 2,000 pieces a week by the early 1800's. Their success led the company to expand to North America around the time of our Civil War, while continuing their operations in Europe. The company enjoys a well deserved reputation around the world these days, highlighted by the chestnut tree on their logo that has endured since 1869. Through all the years the craftsmen at Boker have never lost sight of their heritage, striving to produce only the very best. Taken care of properly, Boker gear will be the last you or your family will ever need to buy. As we like to point out, an item you only need purchase once, that does its job well, is one of the greenest decisions you can make. You May Also Like...
