BOKER DAMASCUS STRAIGHT RAZORS<br />
The Damascus straight razors<br />
are an absolute highlight in the<br />
more than 100-year history of<br />
worldwide renown of the high<br />
quality straight razors by <strong>Boker</strong>.<br />
The special exclusivity comes<br />
from using powder metallurgical,<br />
stainless Damascus steel from<br />
Sweden. In a very technically<br />
demanding and complex process,<br />
180 layers of Damascus steel are<br />
created in a sintering process to<br />
create the perfect starting material<br />
for the fine hand-sharpening of<br />
the blades. The traditional extrahollow<br />
grind and the exceptionally<br />
fine edge harmonizes the beautiful,<br />
extraordinarily fine grain of the<br />
natural Damascus pattern. The<br />
5/8" wide blade has a two-sided<br />
serration for a safe grip, and<br />
like all traditionally made, high<br />
quality Solingen straight razors,<br />
boasts a historic blade stamp<br />
which is punched into the tang<br />
of the blade before tempering.<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> Damascus straight razors<br />
are completely handmade in<br />
the <strong>Boker</strong> knife manufactory in<br />
Solingen, in a 150-step process.<br />
All razors come complete with<br />
a certificate of authenticity in a<br />
refined presentation display, serial<br />
numbered.<br />
1 BOKER DAMASCUS STAG<br />
The hand selected horn handle<br />
scales of this <strong>Boker</strong> Damascus<br />
straight razor in combination<br />
with the refined, stainless 5/8"<br />
Damascus blade make it truly<br />
unique. The high quality look<br />
of the elegant horn handle is<br />
complemented by the use of<br />
a third pin. The Damascus<br />
blade features a Spanish head,<br />
which is especially suitable for<br />
precise shaving and contouring,<br />
due to its well defined front<br />
edge.<br />

2 BOKER DAMASCUS EBONY<br />
The dark color and fine grain of<br />
the refined wood emphasize the<br />
elegance and noble look of this<br />
unique piece of artistry. This<br />
valuable fine wood is very dense,<br />
very sturdy, and highly resistant to<br />
aging, which makes it a preferred<br />
choice not only for decorative<br />
effect. As an additional highlight,<br />
the historic <strong>Boker</strong> tree logo is<br />
expertly inserted into the handle<br />
scales, a craft that is hard to find<br />
these days. The tang is serrated<br />
on both sides.<br />

The <strong>Boker</strong> knife manufactory is<br />
known for processing innovative<br />

tech handle is CNC-milled from<br />
a solid piece. The fine grain<br />
