On the 150th anniversary of Boker Manufactory, the mayor of Solingen requested a high-quality pocketknife in the city colors to gift to guests and dignitaries on special occasions. Boker chose the popular Scout model s the base model and delivers it in the colors of the City of Solingen: a deep steel blue and golden yellow. The Scout Solingen is the first to have a body of solid CNC milled brass supporting blue stabilized chestnut wood scales inspired by the great chestnut tree that once stood in front of the first Boker Tool Manufactory. Another nod to the centuries-old tradition of Solingen, the City of Blades, the blade is made from acid washed C75 carbon steel.

Brand new, direct from Boker Knives, Solingen Germany.

Blade: The clip point blade of the Scout Solingen is made from Acid Washed and tumbled C75 carbon steel for a rugged look. Delivering exceptional slicing and piercing, the blade comes in a hollow ground clip point profile that opens easily via the generous nail nick. The Scout functions well as a small folding hunter as well as a general utility folder with plenty of collector value in this unique configuration.

Handle: CNC milled brass liners and integral bolsters support and frame the stunning blue stabilized chestnut wood scales. Elegant, timeless lines and a sturdy ergonomic build provide a comfortable handle built for serious use while having a beautiful aesthetic. The front scale is embellished with the new Boker Tree Brand Shield in gold. A stainless steel back spring provides secure and simple lock back operation. A hole is provided for lanyard attachment.

No clip.

C75 Carbon Tool Steel: C75 is a classic, non-stainless, carbon steel used by Boker for special projects their Solingen factory. Carbon steel soon develops its typical blue-gray patina that is not a flaw but a natural property of the material.

Boker Coin: Boker is also using this special knife to revive an old Solingen ritual. Knives are a perfect gift, however, there is an old saying in the City of Blades, warning that a gifted knife severs the bond of friendship. In order to ward off this unfortunate result, the knife comes with a coin that the recipient gives back to the giver. According to the old custom, this coin is accepted as payment for the knife, no longer making it an unlucky gift. Therefore, each Boker Scout Solingen comes with a handy Boker coin so that it may mark the beginning of many future friendships.
