FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Boker Celebrates 140 Years

Lakewood, Colorado (March 3, 2009) – Entering into 140 years of production gives Boker of Solingen, Germany good reason to celebrate.

The Boker facility, located in the “City of Blades,” Solingen, Germany, has come a
long way since the storied chestnut tree was planted, giving birth to the
“Treebrand” logo.

To celebrate this occasion, Boker will produce a series of knives that will blend the
traditional foundations of Boker with the innovative design and materials coming
from the most recent production.

In commemorating the year of inception, 1869, Boker will produce the flagship
“Camp Knife,” limited to 1,869 pieces – serialized and presented in special
anniversary packaging. For every other month in 2009, Boker will produce a
different piece that will be limited to only 140 pieces each, worldwide. A must for
the serious collector!
