Boker, a renowned knife manufacturer, originated in the 17th century in Remscheid, Germany, where the Boker family registered their trademark featuring a chestnut tree in 1674. The company initially specialized in high-quality hand tools and later expanded into sword production in 1829 due to growing demand. In the mid-19th century, the family extended their operations internationally, with Hermann Boker founding H. Boker & Co. in New York, and Heinrich Boker establishing a cutlery business in Solingen, which became the heart of Boker’s production.
Despite setbacks such as the destruction of the Solingen factory during WWII, Boker recovered and continued to grow, particularly in the American market. Over time, Boker expanded with subsidiaries like Boker Arbolito in Argentina and Boker USA, strengthening its global presence. The company also pioneered the creation of Damascus steel knives in 1980 and introduced automatic and ceramic knives in the following decades. Today, Boker remains a leader in the knife industry, blending tradition with cutting-edge technology.
