Boker Trapper Uno – Desert Ironwood

n the world of knives, tradition and modern style don’t have to be mutually exclusive. On the contrary, there has been a palpable trend in the knife industry to take timeless classics and give them a deliberate redesign, updating them with a modern, contemporary appearance. At the same time, the basic concept of the knife must be respected. The idea of the so-called Modern Traditional is the basis of the knife series Boker Uno.

The styles Trapper and Delicate have been classics for more than a century, featuring in the product lines of renowned international makers of classic pocketknives. In their traditional form, both styles have top and bottom bolsters. The Uno series omits the bolsters on the handle butt, a modification that gave the series its name. The two styles are no longer seen as mere utility knives on the ranch or construction site, but also hold their own as high-end EDC knives in barber shops or at a picnic. We selected exclusive matching handle scales made from certified imported desert ironwood, which are riveted to the brass liners. The blades consist of 440C and do not lock. The fully handcrafted slipjoint knife made by Boker Manufactory Solingen comes with the new version of the historic Boker tree symbol.
