The **Böker German Expedition Knife Classic (GEK) 30th Anniversary** is an impressive fixed knife, designed by Tony Lennartz. This knife will immediately bring a smile to your face when you hold it for the first time. This is the special edition to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this model. The bronze coating is unique for this edition and it was only produced 500 times. While stocks last.




The blade and the handle are made from one piece of Böhler N695 steel. As such the knife doesn't only feel solid, it also is. There are, after all, no parts that can break off. The process used to produce this knife is called 'die-forging'. This means that the raw steel is forged in a mould. Not the easiest way to produce a knife, but a very premium way nevertheless.




The N695 steel is technically speaking similar to the famous 440C steel. Stainless and retains its sharpness well, but is also easy to sharpen. A type of steel many other contemporary types of steel are based on.




You can carry the Böker German Expedition Knife in the included leather sheath. It is enhanced with a spacious belt loop to make sure you can carry it diagonally as well.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

We like to highlight what use the manufacturer had in mind, or what we believe the knife is suited for

Best use

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

molle_compatible

MOLLE is a mounting system that allows you to attach sheaths and other accessories to backpacks. With this specification we indicate whether a product is already MOLLE-compatible by default. [Want to learn more MOLLE](/en/ct/what-is-molle.htm)?

MOLLE-compatible

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
