Boker’s Blade Show 2025 lineup covers a broad range of styles, from traditional slipjoints and historical fixed blades to modern folders built with updated steels and locking mechanisms. The knives featured in this article are part of a seasonal rollout scheduled between July and September, drawing from across Boker’s various lines, including History Knife & Tool, Boker Manufaktur, Boker Plus, and Boker Solingen. Some lean heavily into heritage patterns with natural materials and familiar silhouettes, while others take a more modern, minimalist approach. It’s a diverse set of tools that shows how Boker continues to work across both ends of the design spectrum.

Boker History Knife & Tool

Released: June 20th, 2025

The Anchor Knife from Boker’s History Knife & Tool line is a straightforward slip joint pocketknife that takes cues from old maritime patterns. It has a 3.15-inch sheepsfoot-style blade with a nail nick opener, made for light-duty tasks like slicing cord, sharpening pencils, or opening packages. There’s no lock, just a solid backspring with enough resistance to keep the blade in place when open. At 7.09 inches overall and just over 3 ounces, it’s an easy-carry option that fits naturally in the pocket without adding bulk.

The handle is smooth ebony wood, fitted with a silver bolster at the pivot and a brass anchor inlay on the front side. That small detail harkens back to traditional sailors’ knives without turning the design into a novelty. The brass pins and liners match the anchor, giving it a clean and consistent look. It's a well-built, no-frills folder that feels familiar in the hand and would be right at home in a collection of traditional users.

Sailor's Knife

Sailor's Knife

Release Date: Sept. 15th 2025

The Sailor’s Knife takes inspiration from the fixed blades once issued to German Navy sailors. It’s a full-tang design with a 5.28-inch straight-edged blade, made from 1.4116 stainless steel, a common choice for utility knives that need to hold up to use without being a pain to maintain. The overall length is 9.53 inches, and it weighs just under 5 ounces, giving it enough heft to feel solid without being overbuilt. The rounded tip and broad blade surface make it suitable for a range of general tasks, from slicing rope to camp kitchen work.

The handle scales are smooth ebony, attached with brass pins and a lanyard tube, keeping with the rest of the History Knife & Tool line’s minimal but deliberate style. It comes with a leather sheath that has a belt loop for vertical carry. The whole package feels like a callback to a time when knives were issued for practical use, not display. There’s nothing flashy here, just a straightforward working knife with clean lines, durable materials, and a nod to old navy tradition.
