Boker Rangebuster Green Folding Knife

The Rangebuster is a traditional pocket knife that was developed in the USA for use in agriculture as early as the 18th century. The light and comparatively simple knife is reminiscent of the Solingen Hippekniep, but here it is equipped with a reliable backlock. The satin-finished Droppoint blade of ice-hardened N690 with 60 to 61 HRC is flat-ground and is opened with the help of the traditionally serrated nail nick. The handle material is olive green Canvas Micarta, the decorative rivets are made of brass. Thanks to the contoured handles and the slim, lightweight construction, the Böker Rangebuster is extremely comfortable in the hand and thus creates the transformation from a working knife to a gentleman’s knife. Handmade in the Boker knife manufactory Solingen.

The history of Boker can be traced back to the 17^th century. In the 1800’s the German tool maker was producing swords and other blades for use in the various wars that were going on in Europe at the time. In the1860’s the company had split with part of the family emigrating and setting up factories in America. The German and American factories produced similar products.  Both used the “Tree Brand” logo. The “Tree Brand” logo represents the giant chestnut tree that was at the front of the original Boker factory in Remscheid, Germany in the 17^th century.
