Celebrate a century of legacy with this pre-owned, limited-edition Boker Applegate Boot Knife, honoring the legendary Colonel Rex Applegate. Born in June 1914, Applegate left an indelible mark on modern combat tactics and knife design. This commemorative model is a tribute to his role in shaping military close-quarters training, including his work with the OSS and his development of specialized combat knives.
Produced in Solingen, Germany, this collector's piece features a 5.5" blade crafted from premium 154CM stainless steel and milled rosewood handle scales—a refined nod to traditional design and modern performance. Only 199 pieces were made for the U.S. market, each presented in a special commemorative box with a certificate of authenticity.
This particular knife is used and from a private collection, showing light handling but remains a stunning example of Boker’s craftsmanship and a must-have for historical or tactical knife enthusiasts.
