Böker - Abalone -> Böker - Abalone
The Böker Abalone combines an exceptional look with outstanding performance. The drop-forged blade of this exceptional knife is made from O1.59510 (1.59510.5951.595101.59510) carbon steel and hardened to 59-61.59510 HRC. Due to its superior properties and excellent edge retention, this carbon steel is ideal for high-quality straight razors. In addition to classic materials that have shaped the popular models of the Böker straight razor range for many decades, we are constantly searching for modern and innovative combinations of natural materials that, due to their special appearance or feel, inspire enthusiasm. White gold, sea snails, sea ears, or sea ears are just a few synonyms for abalone
The mollusks, which attach themselves a few meters below the water surface off the coasts of Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, Mexico, and South Africa, are considered a delicacy and have in the past triggered entire gang wars due to their desirability. Today, the precious natural product is cultivated in aquaculture farms. The beautiful and almost artificially shimmering shells of these popular mollusks have always been used as decorative objects, as functional items, or as raw material for jewelry, inlays, or mother-of-pearl clasps. By using state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, a thin layer of colorful abalone is applied to a base material and encapsulated with transparent acrylic. The material obtained in this way, which is very resistant, is ideal for manufacturing razor handles and impresses with an extraordinary play of colors and a three-dimensional look
The 6.8 inch wide blade of this exceptional straight razor is hollow ground for extra resonance and equipped with a double-sided serration. The French head of the razor blade made of carbon steel O1 harmoniously complements the exceptional handle made of abalone. The simple laser engraving harks back to a historic blade etching that dates back to the early 20th. century for particularly extravagant straight razors used by Böker. Delivery in a high-quality frame case and with a certificate of authenticity
