Boker DE Razor

[J.E.]

I came across some Boker DE razors the other day on a knife website. I haven't seen much talk about them here. The website says they are made in Germany. Anybody have any experience with them?

I haven't had any experience with their DEs. Their SRs seem well respected, and their knifes are very good! I doubt they would smudge their name with a bad product, but might be a rebrand that a marketing guy had decision powers on.

 

[J.E.]

Yes, I forgot to mention how nice their pocket knives are. I've always really like German cutlery.

 

[VerbaVolant]

I don't have one and I too have seen them on knife sites. The open comb one looks like a re-branded Fatip, to me.

Actually all their razors look rebranded to me . Quite a mish-mash.
Nowhere on the Boker USA website does it say that they are manufactured in Germany. I highly doubt they are.

 

[VerbaVolant]

Oh, one more thing. They look to me double the price of the original manufacturer. Oh well, they like expensive cars after all... and someone has to pay.
I might be wrong.

 

[J.E.]

I haven't looked at the prices on straight razors but the DE razors are pretty reasonable.

The OC sure appears to be made by Fatip...and is more $$$.
