I'd love to see:

-more steel choices, I know you guys have your 440C down pretty good, but some more "modern" stuff would be nice from time to time.
The Sandvik steels would be very nice to see more often, already used in some knives.

-german-made outdoor knives of the larger variety. Yes, ESEEs and Beckers are good but I'd love to buy some that are made close to my home :thumbup:

-bring some knives from the Magnum line into the other lines, I really love some of the designs, but the 440A is not that great

What about you, what would you like to see from Böker ?
 
Yes, I second the Sanvik steels over the current 440C.

They have done quite a few great collaborations and have even more on the way.
 
better quality control, better engineering in the plus lines, and better steel choices.


oh and i'm gonna take this opportunity to push for a new clb design knife. something like a 4" bladed plain edge only, non coated and not bead blasted, clb designed folder, in the line of the direkt or something of this style, with frame lock or a well engineered walker style liner lock, and with m390 steel. yeah i know.....but one can wish right?
 
I would say use better steels, the sandvik work fine for me. Also, if you're going to do a ti-framelock, don't do the stupid high radius lockface that causes slip. I would love to see a knife like the Albatross, with a thick vg-10 blade, thick ti slabs, and a blade around 3.5 inches
 
Steel's the big issue for me too. The only Boker I own is a Epicenter because of the VG-10 steel. I really love the look of a lot of Bokers, but I can't pull the trigger on any 440C blade, no maker how good the heat treatment is. I'd love to see more quality blade steels and more titanium scales.

Also I agree with spyderco lover, a larger Albatros would be amazing
 
This might be a little egoistic or whatever...

But...

I´d like to see the Böker Tree Brand series available here in Germany. I´ve been mailing to Böker almost some times but I always got an unsatisfying replie/answer. Some of their patterns are really great looking, especially the Stockman and Congress patterns.
 
I love boker's designs but the steel is always what stops me from buying better steel selection in tactical knives
 
I too would love to see more choices in blade steel. I was so excited when I first saw the Squail, then I saw it's in 440. Not that 440 isn't an adequate steel. But I can get S30V and other steels from other manufacturers for well under $100. A Squail or Kwaiken in S30? Yes please.
 
I want, no I need a smaller version of the Rold - same steel, same ergos but with a 3,5" blade. That'd be EDC perfection !
Pretty please ?

I would also like to see a balisong. Maybe a 29 Knives collab? Something with channel construction at a good price would sell like hot cakes.

Hell yeah! I'd buy one.

Honestly, I'd rather have 440c than sandvik. Unless boker is prepared to make a big change in steel to something like s35vn or xhp, just stick to what they know.
 
My two best Boker knives have great steel but at a cost.

My Boker Pipsqueak Blackwood Knife has a S35VN blade steel but costs closer to $200.

My best one is the Boker Minos Titanium Frame Lock with N690BO for about $250.

Both were flawless examples from day one and made in Germany.
 
A Colubris in my hand. After that, different colored scales for it.
