Collection 2026

For four generations, the Leimkueller family of Solingen—Germany’s legendary city of blades—has preserved the art of fine knife making with uncompromising dedication. Free from haste, the family-run workshop relies on time-honored manufacturing techniques and meticulous attention to detail, pursuing a single goal: exceptional quality and precision.

In place of CNC machines and computer-controlled processes, essential steps such as rough grinding, fine grinding, polishing, and even the crafting of the perfectly fitted leather sheath are performed entirely by hand. With the Magnum Collection 2026, Matthias Leimkueller created a design far too exceptional to remain a one-of-a-kind piece. That is why Magnum is lending a strong hand in bringing this collector’s item to life as a strictly limited series of just 1,999 pieces worldwide, combining the closely guarded expertise of the Leimkueller family with Magnum’s high-precision manufacturing technologies and the passion that transforms an exquisite knife into an object of irresistible presence and appeal.

As the annual knife, its primary destination is likely to be the display cases of discerning knife collectors and enthusiasts. At the same time, outdoor enthusiasts, campers, farmers, hunters, and experienced users will undoubtedly appreciate its qualities as a genuine belt knife designed for outdoor use and hunting.

The fixed drop-point blade features an elegant satin finish and is crafted from Boker’s exclusive BKR-10 steel. This powder-metallurgical alloy delivers an exceptional balance of elements, resulting in a rust-resistant steel with outstanding corrosion resistance and high hardness. Its elevated carbon and chromium content, enhanced by cobalt, ensures long-lasting durability and cutting performance. Carving, slicing, and cutting tasks are executed with confidence thanks to the integrated guard with finger protection, the ergonomically shaped, slip-resistant leather handle, and the harmoniously contoured pommel. The classic utility knife is accompanied by a two-tone leather sheath with belt loop, offering secure and convenient carry. The Magnum Collection embossing on the black-accented section of the sheath mirrors the blade logo, completing the refined overall aesthetic.

For presentation and safekeeping, the knife is delivered in a premium wooden display box and includes a certificate of authenticity.
