Boker Knives Factory Tour - Solingen, Germany

[BelloBudo007]

That was a very interesting factory tour. And it was good (goot?) that the CEO could speak such good English because he made it easy to understand. I think I will now investigate Boker knives further.

wow wonder how long it took them to type in codes for the cnc

[wickedlasers]

@samstterhamstteer i would say they used a CAM package

[audiocable]

i use their knives to kill people, i have to say, after all my years of cutting and stabbing, boker is the only knife i keep by my side.

any idea where the chesnut tree still there? or what happens to the original tree taht mr boker used as simbol?

[worldknives]

Yes. The tree no longer exists. I believe that it was struck by lightning. But some of the wood remained. I have a picture of herald with a piece of the wood made into a Boker tree carving. I don't think any of the wood exists beyond that.
