Karl Böcker: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Karl Böcker, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1918 in Solingen and registered in the Solingen Chamber of Commerce in June 1922. The company specialized in steel goods production and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly SA service daggers. In 1935, it received the RZM code M7/45, assigned for the production of political daggers. Located at Schützenstraße 24 in Solingen, it reflects the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany.

The firm produced approximately 1,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 4.5/5 as highly rare. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include pocket knives, razors, table and butcher knives.

The logo of Karl Böcker consists of a circular emblem with the text "KARL BOECKER" along the upper arc and "SOLINGEN" along the lower arc. In the center is a stylized "KB" monogram. The logo is in dark gray on a transparent background, symbolizing tradition and quality, typically etched on blades.

Today, the products of Karl Böcker are coveted collectibles that embody the historical development of the Solingen manufacturer history in the edged weapons industry. The limited production and focus on Nazi weapons make them an important example of the Nazi era, ideal for an encyclopedia on blank weapons manufacturers.
