Böker Trench Knife 1915 Limited Edition
The Böker Trench Knife 1915 recreates the compact combat knife Böker was commissioned to develop by the Ministry of War in 1915.
Its 5.75-inch blade is C75 carbon steel, a material selected for strong edge retention and one that requires deliberate corrosion care. A massive stainless steel crossguard, official-pattern tang stamp, ribbed wood handle, and substantial leather sheath follow the equipment details of the original knife.
Each example is marked with a serial number, reinforcing its place as a limited historical reproduction rather than an anonymous modern fixed blade. The knife measures 10 inches overall and weighs 5.8 ounces.
