SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Boker History Knife & Tool Anchor Knife blends timeless nautical tradition with everyday utility, making it a standout piece for any pocket knife enthusiast. Featuring a 3.15-inch sheepsfoot blade crafted from 1.4116 stainless steel with a sleek satin finish, this knife delivers reliable cutting performance and durability. The sheepsfoot blade shape, with its straight edge and rounded tip, has long been favored by sailors for its ability to slice rope cleanly without the risk of accidental punctures, a hallmark of classic maritime design. A right-hand nail nick allows for smooth and easy blade deployment, staying true to traditional slipjoint functionality.
This knife’s handle is where its heritage shines. The rich ebony wood scales are accented with brass pins and a distinctive brass anchor inlay on the front, paying homage to the seafaring history that inspired this design. During the age of sail, anchor knives like this were trusted companions for sailors, designed for dependability at sea and often carried as a symbol of craftsmanship and connection to the ocean. The brass anchor not only recalls those nautical roots but also adds a touch of refined character to this practical tool. A lanyard hole at the rear of the handle provides additional carry options, whether it’s secured with a cord for quick access or displayed as part of a collection.
At 3.94 inches closed and 7.09 inches overall, the Boker Anchor Knife strikes an ideal balance between portability and utility. Weighing just 3.03 ounces, it’s light enough for everyday carry while offering enough substance for steady control during use. The slim .01-inch blade thickness makes it adept for precise cuts and slicing tasks, whether you’re opening packages, preparing food on the go, or tending to small chores.
