For your consideration, you are viewing a vintage 90s Giant Bowie Knife from the Magnum Collection by Boker Knifes, it features a satin-finished stainless steel 18 cm recurve blade with a false top edge and has a hidden tang construction. It has a lovely rich Walnut Wood handle and a polished Brass Guard and Butt and comes with a substitute new Kabar USMC leather sheath. (it does not have the original sheath, box or papers)
This giant Bowie is a rendition of the legendary Vietnam-style Bowie, with equally impressive dimensions, and the genuine walnut wood handle is very smooth and tactile, which tops off the overall stylish look of this traditional Bowie knife.
BOWIE KNIFE: The Bowie knife was the weapon that made the Wild West wild and it is a fixed-blade fighting knife created by Rezin Bowie in the early 19th century as a gift for his brother Jim Bowie, who made the name famous from his use of the large knife at Sandbar Fight duel. Rezin Bowie's unique design of the blade gave it its power and its name and thanks to his brother James Bowie, who became a hero of the Alamo... gave it its reputation. From the Wild West frontiersman to the Texas Rangers, the Bowie knife sliced and penetrated its way into American culture.
#BOKER CUTLERY CO. In 1829 the H. R. BOKER Cutlery Company was formed in Remscheid Germany by the brothers Hermann and Robert Boker who had decided to start the production of sabre knives in Solingen Germany. With a permanently growing product line of tools and cutlery and the excellent open opportunities of global sales, the family company decided to distribute the tasks for their best interests. In 1837 Hermann Boker emigrated to the United States and founded Boker & Co. in New York, whereas the younger Robert Boker established his company in Canada, as well as a branch in Mexico in 1965, and has been the market leader under the name of Casa Boker until today. During WWII in 1944: British bombers dropped 783 tons of explosives on Solingen destroying the German facility. The Solingen factory was destroyed with no remaining machines, tooling, catalogues or samples. During the rest of WWII, the contact with the US stopped. In 1947 Major John BOKER (US Army Intelligence) purchased the rights back from the US Government and renamed it “BOKER USA" After the war there was a shortage and in turn a high demand for pocket knives, which increased faster than the production capacities in Solingen, so the New York Bokers Company decided to start their pocket knife production. In the 1950s Boker USA began importing from Solingen again. In 1983 Boker US knife production ended in the United States, and most of their products were imported from Solingen. The company is now known as "Boker Solingen" Since the late 40s, there have been two different product lines of Boker knives on the US market with identical logos and sometimes even identical item numbers; One product line was made in the USA, has the marking "Boker USA" The other product line was made in Solingen GERMANY, with the different markings "H. Boker Improved Cutlery Solingen". Both Solingen and the US branches used the “Tree Brand” logo. The “Tree Brand” logo represents the giant chestnut tree that was at the front of the original Boker factory in Remscheid, Germany in the 17th century.
