Style is less a question of elegance than of character. The Boker Black Amboina proves that these characteristics can be perfectly combined. The expressive 6/8 inch straight razor is completely black and for the first time features a black-finished blade made of high-strength carbon steel. In this special process, the surface of the blade is transformed into a black oxide layer through treatment with acid, which means it is not a coating in the classic sense. The extra-hollow ground blade is serrated on both sides, emphasizing the exclusive character of the Boker Black Amboina. Thanks to the balanced weight of the knife, the blade glides extremely smoothly and cleanly over the skin, and the handle made of exotic Amboina wood impresses with its strikingly scattered grain, which in parts is reminiscent of wild carbon fiber. This special structure is due to the tuberous growths in the root area of the wood species from Southeast Asia, giving each knife its unique character. The striking black and the pleasantly smooth surface of the handle are achieved by stabilizing the wood. In this special process, heated epoxy resin is pressed into the wood pores and then hardened. The bulbous shape of the handle forms a successful contrast to the straight edge of the blade, expressively emphasizing the lines of the straight razor, while the two nickel silver rivets and the silver Boker tree plate are eye-catching visual accents in the handle. With an authentic Boker stamp on the blade, a certificate of authenticity, and an elegant floating display. Handmade in the Boker knife manufactory in Solingen. The famous knives with the world-renowned tree mark have been handmade in the blade city of Solingen since 1869. Since its foundation, no knife has left the manufactory without this seal of quality.
