Since starting the manufacturing of high quality knives in 1869, the Boker trademark has earned a strong position in the world market.
Unfortunately, more and more counterfeits, mainly produced in Asia, are sold for unbelievably low prices on the internet. The materials used for these counterfeits are just as poor as the manufacturing itself. Apart from copies of actual Boker designs, even knives that have never been part of the Boker product line are being sold with the Boker logo.
Due to the low product quality, it is very dangerous to use these knives as product defects may lead to serious injuries. Usually, the manufacturer is unknown, so it's next to impossible to solicit any action.
Counterfeit Boker knives are often listed on eBay as "Genuine" or "100% Authentic" and are sold to unsuspecting buyers.
