Counterfeits & Fraud

Beware of Counterfeit Knives – How to Protect Yourself

For over 150 years, Boker has been a trusted name in premium-quality knives, known worldwide for exceptional craftsmanship since our founding in 1869. Unfortunately, the rise of counterfeit knives—often cheaply produced overseas—poses a growing threat to both our customers and our reputation.

Why Counterfeits Are a Serious Problem

• Cheap Copies, Poor Quality: Many fakes mimic the look of authentic Boker models but use low-grade materials and inferior workmanship.
• Brand Misuse: Some counterfeits even bear our logo on products we never designed or manufactured.
• Hidden Risks for Buyers:
• Potential safety hazards from defective construction.
• No warranty or liability protection, as counterfeit producers remain untraceable.
• Poor performance—fake blades dull quickly and fail under use.
• Impact on Authorized Dealers: Counterfeits hurt legitimate retailers and erode trust in quality products.

How to Ensure You’re Buying a Genuine Boker Knife

• Handle Before You Buy: If possible, inspect the knife in person. Many fakes reveal flaws upon closer examination.
• Shop Smart: Purchase only from authorized Boker dealers or directly from Boker USA.
• Register Your Knife: Secure authenticity and enjoy our limited lifetime warranty on all Boker, Boker Arbolito, Boker Plus, and Magnum by Boker products.
