SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Boker History Knife & Tool German Scout Knife Original brings a legacy of durability and function into the hands of today’s outdoor enthusiasts and collectors. Inspired by historical German military scout knives, this fixed blade is more than just a tribute—it’s a dependable tool crafted to modern standards with timeless appeal.
At the heart of the design is a 5.5-inch bayonet-style blade made from tough 440A stainless steel. It’s built to take on real work, offering solid corrosion resistance and edge retention with the added benefit of easy maintenance. The plain edge and satin finish give it a clean, refined look, while the straight spine and sharply pointed tip echo its traditional military roots. Whether you’re tackling camp chores or adding a historical piece to your gear rotation, this blade is ready to go.
The full tang construction adds strength and balance to the knife, ensuring it can withstand tough use without compromising control. Measuring 0.2 inches thick, the blade feels solid in hand without being unwieldy. The knife’s 9.5-inch overall length provides enough reach for a variety of outdoor tasks, yet remains compact enough to carry comfortably.
The handle is a nod to classic style with a modern twist. Constructed from stainless steel with black POM inlays, it offers both durability and a secure grip. POM is a hard-wearing polymer known for its resistance to moisture and impact, making it a smart choice for all-weather use. A stainless steel guard and pommel not only enhance the knife’s aesthetics but also add functional safety and strength, preventing slippage during use and reinforcing the overall structure.
Weighing in at 5.2 ounces, the German Scout Knife Original strikes an ideal balance between heft and portability. It feels substantial without weighing you down, and its streamlined profile makes it easy to pack along for any excursion. The included black aluminum sheath keeps the knife protected and close at hand, whether you’re on the trail, in the field, or storing it in your collection.
Boker’s commitment to quality and tradition shines through every detail of this fixed blade. It’s not just a knife—it’s a piece of history reimagined for modern hands. Whether you’re drawn to it for its heritage, its utility, or both, it’s a knife that tells a story with every use.
