Boker Solingen Trapper Asbach Uralt Nichols Damascus Brandy Barrel Oak Slip Joint Folder 116004DAM

A classic North American jack knife, the Trapper, has been in production since the early 1900s and is still popular today. Originally designed for trapping and skinning tasks, this lightweight design is a solid and versatile all around cutting tool. In Rüdesheim on the Rhine, a man named Hugo Asbach created a complex and singular German brandy known today as Asbach Uralt. Aging in Limousin oak wood barrels is key to the process. After decades of storage, Boker is now using these historic Asbach barrels in a limited production Trapper, which bears the brand stamp of the famous wine distillery on both blade and handle. The Trapper Asbach Uralt comes with a Chad Nichols stainless Damascus blade and brandy barrel oak wood covers. Limited to 299 pieces worldwide. Brand new, direct from Boker Knives, Solingen.
