A huge chestnut-tree towering above the small Boker hardware-factory in the 17th century is the oldest traceable fact about the Boker family. Apparently Boker tools were very successful on the marekts, as they were ranked among the leading manufactured goods in Germany and neighboring countries hundred years later on.

Due to rising demand in a politically restless era Hermann and Robert Boker decided to start with the production of sabers in 1829. Inventories of September 1830 had already proven a weekly production of 2000 pieces made by 64 smiths, 47 grinders and a large number of workers and trainees. With a permanently growing product line of tools and cutlery and the great opportunities of global sales, the family saw the need to distribute the tasks to make the best use of their interests. So Hermann Boker emigrated to found Boker & Co. in New York, whereas the younger Robert established his company in Canada and in 1865 a branch in Mexico, being the market leaders under the name of Casa Boker until today.

Heinrich only crossed the river Wupper to go to Solingen, where the German cutlery industry was booming. Together with the well-known cutlery expert Hermann Heuser he founded Heinr. Boker & Co. in 1869.

Fucking savages!

Shithole countries, all of them.

That's a multitool.

American men tend to carry a multitool *and* a pocket knife, and many times a gun.

Ooh, new Gerber,

I have had the first generation leatherman since the 1990s. Lasts a long time

Probably the only American made thing I own. I do have two trucks with Cummins engines but they were probably made in the UK.

Ooh, new Gerber,

I have found the Skeletool is pretty much the best multitool for EDC (for most people). All I have needed was that skeletool and a Gerber shard on my keychain (for the pry tool, really the only missing critical piece to a skeletool).

For whatever reason the retainer screws backed out a little on mine. Easy fix. Also, the non finished steel parts hate salt water but gun oil keeps it in check. I need to clean mine up quite a bit with some brasso or neverdull
