Collection Knives: For Knife Collectors and Custom Knife Enthusiasts

Since 1980, the Boker Damast Annual Knife has represented the pinnacle of Boker's pioneering quality, combining premium materials, master craftsmanship, and timeless design. The 2026 edition draws inspiration from the iconic Boker Kihon Bifold, designed by American knife maker Lucas Burnley, reinterpreting its essential design philosophy in a strictly limited series of just 999 pieces worldwide.

The term Kihon evokes the fundamental techniques of Japanese martial arts, a concept perfectly reflected in the knife’s design: minimalist, functional, and elegant. The extraordinary 160-layer Damascus blade, featuring a classic ladder pattern, ensures excellent edge retention and a dynamic, refined aesthetic.

Opening is intuitive and secure thanks to the thumb stud and back lock mechanism. The high-quality carbon fiber handle harmoniously complements the blade, offering a modern, lightweight, and highly durable character. Handcrafted in Solingen, this exclusive EDC pocket knife embodies the meticulous attention to detail that has distinguished Böker for generations.

This refined collector’s item is presented in an elegant display case, further enhancing its exclusivity and prestige.
