Unbridled, with inherent power. Temperamental, with<br />
a gentle disposition. The vastness in view, everyday<br />
life out of sight. The highway seems endless, with<br />
rough asphalt, crumbling yellow markings <strong>and</strong> wafting<br />
desert dust. Before long, the endlessness gives way to<br />
a feeling of freedom, the sunset bathes the l<strong>and</strong>scape<br />
<strong>and</strong> your mind in a warming blanket of bliss <strong>and</strong> a<br />
gentle breeze. The deep sound of the powerful Windsor<br />
V8 small block engine with 250 HP has a calming effect,<br />
turning the road trip in the Ford Mustang into a very<br />
special moment.<br />
Inspired by the World War II fighter plane, the P-51<br />
Mustang, Ford developed its own Mustang in the<br />
early 1960’s, <strong>and</strong> brought it to market in April 1964.<br />
As a compact sports coupe, the affordable pony<br />
car, emblazoned with the iconic galloping horse<br />
emblem in the radiator grill, appealed primarily to a<br />
younger clientele. To counteract the highly motorized<br />
competition from Dodge, Pontiac <strong>and</strong> Chevrolet,<br />
Ford made a statement in the league of powerful<br />
muscle cars with the Mustang MACH 1. The firstgeneration<br />
MACH 1 from 1969 was only available as<br />
a fastback version <strong>and</strong> featured a number of visual<br />
<strong>and</strong> performance differences to the st<strong>and</strong>ard model:<br />
sports suspension, matt black racing stripes <strong>and</strong> a cowl<br />
induction hood, chrome-plated exhaust tailpipes <strong>and</strong><br />
fuel filler cap, bonnet pins, front <strong>and</strong> rear spoilers as<br />
well as a luxurious interior spurred more than 72,000<br />
units of this model to be sold.<br />

Legends are not born; they are shaped by time until<br />
their moment to shape time has come. They don't live<br />
as myth, they create it <strong>and</strong> leave behind a venerable<br />
legacy. In 1966, the foundation stone for another icon<br />
was laid in Detroit, Michigan. In the epicenter of the U.S.<br />
automotive industry, numerous vehicles see the light of<br />
day. Many of them are ordinary cars, while others are<br />
exclusively chosen. The Camaro was originally designed<br />
as a so-called “Pony Car,” which was intended to appeal<br />
primarily to younger buyer groups. Compact, sporty <strong>and</strong><br />
affordable - the coupé was the stalwart for the semistrong.<br />
Success was not long in coming.<br />
From 1966 to 1969, approximately 700,000 Camaro<br />
models with 12 different engine variants rolled off the<br />
production line. In 1969, the last Camaro of the first<br />
generation, the Z28, was introduced. Connoisseurs<br />
consider this model to be one of the best of all series.<br />
Sporty body lines <strong>and</strong> a beefy 290 HP V8 small block<br />
engine with a Special Performance Package powered<br />
the Camaro Z28 into the select league of muscle cars.<br />
The motorsport DNA of the now coveted collector's item<br />
cannot be denied either. The engine used is a toneddown<br />
version of the successful <strong>and</strong> highly decorated<br />
Penske Camaro from the SCAA Trans AM racing series.<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> quotes the design of the Camaro Z28 <strong>and</strong> revives<br />
the legend. The result is more than just a knife. An<br />
attitude to life, the dignified road trip with the bubbling<br />
sound of the V8 engine on the seemingly endless<br />
highway, gentle rays of sunlight streaking across the<br />
canyon <strong>and</strong> warming the soul. Unforgettable moments<br />
without everyday life - just like the extraordinary <strong>Boker</strong><br />
1969 Z28-Damascus. In collaboration with the Italian<br />
designer Tommaso Rumici, a unique "muscle knife"<br />
was created that combines the distinctive character<br />
traits of the Camaro Z28 in form <strong>and</strong> strength. The<br />
elegant Damascus drop point blade, h<strong>and</strong>-forged by<br />
Chad Nichols with 80 layers in the “Tread” pattern,<br />
reminisces of the sloping cowl induction bonnet of the<br />
muscle car. For this purpose, parts of the upper A-arm<br />
from the Camaro were used for the blade, that opens<br />
smoothly with the blue anodized thumb stud, while the<br />
biting stainless steel liner lock reliably locks the blade<br />
in place.<br />
The aluminium h<strong>and</strong>le in ”Le Mans Blue“ interprets the<br />
lines of the body in a nostalgic way <strong>and</strong> comes up with<br />
exciting details. The notchback, small rear spoiler <strong>and</strong><br />
rear quarter panel gills have been beautifully integrated<br />
into the knife. The pivot screw is lovingly inspired by the<br />
rims often used on muscle cars, whereas the straightlined<br />
titanium clip, milled from the solid, is reminiscent<br />
of the chrome-plated door h<strong>and</strong>les. Delivery includes<br />
a high quality floating display, plenty of torque <strong>and</strong><br />
a gentle breeze in your hair. H<strong>and</strong>made in the <strong>Boker</strong><br />
Manufactory in Solingen. Blade length: 3.15". Thickness:<br />
3.7mm. Overall length: 7.32". Weight: 3.5 oz. Blade<br />
length: 3.35". Thickness: 3.6mm. Overall length: 7.80".<br />

Over the years, the Mustang has become the epitome<br />
of the muscle car <strong>and</strong> is now continuing its legacy in<br />
the 7th generation. <strong>Boker</strong> quotes the unmistakable<br />
design of the vehicle <strong>and</strong> makes the legend even more<br />
tangible in the 1969 MACH1-Damast of the same name.<br />
Parts of the wheel hub, wishbone <strong>and</strong> suspension were<br />
used for the fine, 84-layer Damascus blade <strong>and</strong> forged<br />
by h<strong>and</strong> by Chad Nichols in the Wavepool pattern. The<br />
ball-bearing blade with its distinctive ricasso opens<br />
smoothly by means of the removable thumb stud <strong>and</strong><br />
cuts with powerful torque. The ball-bearing blade with<br />
its distinctive ricasso opens smoothly by means of the<br />
removeable thumb stud, <strong>and</strong> cuts with confidence<br />
thanks to powerful torque from the h<strong>and</strong>le design <strong>and</strong><br />
the safety of a study liner lock.Finger recesses in the<br />
h<strong>and</strong>le made of lightweight, high-strength aluminum<br />
are reminiscent of the wings of the muscle car, while<br />
the gold-colored inlay of the front h<strong>and</strong>le scale echoes<br />
the side trim of the door <strong>and</strong> bodywork. The Silver<br />
Jade coloring of the h<strong>and</strong>le expressively underlines<br />
the sporty look of the pocket-knife <strong>and</strong> creates a<br />
noticeable V8 tremor in the h<strong>and</strong>. The sloping back of<br />
the h<strong>and</strong>le is nostalgically modelled on the fastback<br />
contour of the bodywork, while the detailed blade axle<br />
screw makes the forward drive of the wheels tangible.<br />
Straight-lined <strong>and</strong> angular, the stainless-steel clip<br />
milled from the solid is reminiscent of the door h<strong>and</strong>les<br />
of the Ford Mustang. Delivery includes a high-quality<br />
floating display, an impatient hoof scraping <strong>and</strong> the<br />
necessary portion of nonchalance. H<strong>and</strong>made in the<br />
<strong>Boker</strong> Manufactory in Solingen. Blade length: 3.23".<br />
Thickness: 3.6mm. Overall length: 7.80". Weight: 4.1 oz.<br />
