Böker Knives

Böker, famously known as the Tree Brand, is one of the oldest and most respected knife manufacturers in the world. The brand traces its origins back to the 17th century in Remscheid, Germany, where it began as a small tool manufacturer. By the mid-19th century, the family relocated to Solingen, the 'City of Blades,' where it established its primary manufacturing base and global headquarters.

Today, Böker operates under a multi-tiered manufacturing strategy. Their premium 'Böker Manufaktur' line remains hand-crafted in Solingen, Germany, maintaining the highest standards of European craftsmanship. The 'Böker Plus' line focuses on innovative designs through collaborations with military and tactical experts, often produced in high-tech facilities in Asia. Their 'Magnum by Böker' series offers entry-level value with manufacturing primarily based in China and Taiwan, while some outdoor specialty knives are produced in Argentina.

Ownership of the brand has remained largely independent and tied to its historical roots in Solingen. The Heinr. Böker Baumwerk GmbH continues to lead the brand's global strategy, ensuring that whether a blade is forged in Germany or abroad, it meets the functional and stylistic requirements that have defined the Tree Brand for over 150 years.
