About the original
The Boker Plus Mini Tech-Tool 1 is a compact slipjoint keychain knife with a 2.05-inch Sandvik 12C27 Swedish stainless steel blade, fixed key ring loop, and liner-less slipjoint construction that keeps the overall package small enough for a keyring. Boker has been manufacturing knives in Solingen, Germany, the historical center of European blade production, since 1869, when the family registered its tree of life trademark. The Plus line handles design and engineering in Solingen with production in Europe, the USA, and Asia. The FW22 Supreme collab swaps the standard wood or G-10 scales for photoluminescent polymer scales that charge in daylight and glow in darkness. It retailed at $52.
About Boker
Boker is a German knife manufacturer founded in 1869 by Heinrich Boker and Hermann Heuser in Solingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, the historic center of European blade production. The company's chestnut tree trademark references an actual tree that stood at its original factory site. Boker produces kitchen, hunting, tactical, and folding knives across three tiers: Boker Manufaktur Solingen, made in Germany; Boker Plus, designed by outside makers and manufactured in Asia; and Magnum, its entry-level line. The catalog includes the Kwaiken, the Plus Urban Trapper, and the Arbolito fixed blades. Supreme's collaboration produced a co-branded folder.
