The second step
A knife that has accompanied our path for a long time is the Böker Haddock. This model - then still manufactured by Böker Manufaktur in Solingen - was one of the first more expensive pocket knives that we included in our program. Since then, the Haddock has appeared in countless versions and is now sold under the Böker Plus label. When considering which should be our second KnifeLounge Exclusive knife, the choice of the Haddock Pro was obvious, as we were completely convinced by the standard variant of this model designed by Jens Ansø. For the first time, this knife is now available for under 100,- Euro!
The idiosyncratically shaped blade with the curved blade back and the nail nick reminds us a little bit of the beak of a bird, but proves to be extremely cutting-friendly due to the long drawn belly of the cutting edge. With a thickness of a full 5 mm, Böker has used a considerable piece of steel here and you could believe that this is more of a crowbar with a cutting bevel than a knife. The trick lies in the very far to the top flat grind, which was set in such a way that the blade runs out thinly to the cutting bevel. For the steel, we chose the very tough D2 tool steel. This steel is not only extremely resilient, but also takes on a very high sharpness. To protect the blade from flash rust, we advise you to clean your knife with a little oil every now and then.
The handle, like the blade, bears the typical signature of Jens Ansø. Unlike its predecessor, the Haddock Pro now features a liner lock. For our KnifeLounge Exclusive version, we have chosen Micarta as the handle material. It was important to us to be able to offer our customers two color variations. So we have the knife once with brown Micarta and - matching our beloved Chesterfield armchair in our Knife Lounge - in a rich dark green.
All in all, you are dealing with a knife that is both a piece of jewelry and a tool. Whether in your display case or in the pocket of your favorite pair of jeans, the Haddock Pro in the KnifeLounge Exclusive variant cuts a fine figure all around.

Warning / Safety Notice:
Risk of cuts: The most common hazard when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can easily penetrate skin and tissue.
Blade slippage: Improper handling or applying excessive force may cause the knife to slip, leading to uncontrolled movements and potential injury.
Injuries from falling knives: Knives should never be left unsecured or placed near the edge of tables or work surfaces, as they may fall and cause injury.
Dull blades: Dull knives pose a higher risk of injury, as they require more force and are more likely to slip. Knives should therefore be sharpened regularly and properly.
Improper use: Using a knife for purposes other than its intended use (e.g. as a prying tool) can damage the blade and may result in accidents.
