Boker Barlow Prime Castle Burg 2.76 Folding O1 Carbon Steel Pocket Knife 113942

  

Boker Barlow Prime Castle Burg 2.76 Folding O1 Carbon Steel Pocket Knife 113942. Castle Burg is a landmark of the Bergisches Land, rising above the river Wupper near the Boker Manufactory.

Von Berg had the castle constructed on the foundations of a 10th-century fortress. It was finished in 1133. Even today, Burg Castle still reflects the enormous wealth of the dynasty and their far-reaching influence in Northrhine-Westphalia. Von Berg was also the Archbishop of Cologne. Boker keeps in touch with the historians of Burg Castle because the corporate history of Boker can be traced back to 1674, when the tree was first entered as the company's trade symbol for tools, and because their history is closely connected to that of the Bergisches Land.

Right now, large parts of the castle are being faithfully restored. This includes the replacement of ancient solid oak planks. This inspired them to preserve the historic material for future generations, skillfully turning it into handle scales in their Manufactory.

This was the foundation of their knife series Boker Schloss Burg, comprising seven traditional knife styles steeped in history. Apart from the scales of historic oak wood sourced from Burg Castle (Schloss Burg), the knives also feature brass liners and blades made from O1 carbon steel. Highlighting the authenticity of the knives, the blades are finished with a special acid wash, which also protects them from harmful environmental impact. All styles are handcrafted by Boker Manufactory Solingen as a strictly limited edition of 1133 pieces worldwide. They come with a new version of the historic Boker tree symbol.

The typical teardrop shape of the Barlow goes back to 17th-century English pocketknives, which certainly makes it one of the world's oldest knife models. The knife probably got its name from the business-savvy knife producer in Sheffield who began exporting the sturdy knife to North America around 1800. It became very popular from the start there. By the end of the 19th century, the first Barlow models appeared in the history of the Boker Manufactory. The new interpretation of the Boker Barlow Prime has shorter bolsters.

It has a modern elongated ricasso and a slipjoint made more secure with a 90-degree lock-in when opening or closing. Blade Material: O-1 Tool Steel. Handle Material: Schloss Burg Oak Wood.
