Boker 140800 “14” 8/8 Square Point Straight Razor, Professionally Honed
While forged razors and the classic wet shave are experiencing a renaissance, genuine broadswords are still rare. For the first time in decades, perhaps even centuries, 8/8 inch wide razors are back in our range.
In times when the mighty blades were even more common, 8/8 inch wide razors with straight heads were called 14s. This marking was stamped into the tang of the blade before the forged blades were hardened. We did not miss this special feature and also implemented it in our Böker 14.
The 8/8 inch wide blade not only bears a historical blade etching with partial gilding, but also a gilded blade back and tang, which is elegantly decorated by a filigree and detailed laser engraving. The complete polishing of the blade and the serration on both sides of the tang round off the features of this knife.
We have also used historical models as a basis for the material used for the handle. The handle made of dark, slightly transparent acrylic blends harmoniously into the overall picture due to the subtle brass inlay. The blade is ground extra hollow with ridge. With authentic Boker stamp in the blade passage, certificate of authenticity and noble floating display. Handmade in the Boker knife manufactory Solingen.
