Legends are not born; they are shaped by time until it is time to shape them. They don't live the myth, they create it and leave behind a venerable legacy. In 1966, the cornerstone of another icon was laid in Detroit, Michigan. In the epicenter of the American automotive industry, many vehicles saw the light of day. Many of them are regular cars, while others are exclusive. The Chevrolet Camaro was originally designed as a so-called Pony Car, which was intended to appeal primarily to younger groups of buyers. Compact, sporty and affordable, the coupe was the stalwart choice for the semi-powerful. It didn't take long for success to happen. From 1966 to 1969, approximately 700,000 Camaro models with 12 different engines rolled off the production line. In 1969, the last first-generation Camaro, the Z28, was introduced. Connoisseurs consider this model one of the best of all series. The massive 216 kW (290 hp) small-block V8 engine and Special Performance Package put the Camaro Z28 in the elite league of muscle cars, including sport stripes on the exterior. There's also no denying the motorsports DNA of this now coveted collector's item. The engine used is a toned-down version of the successful and ornate Penske Camaro from the SCAA Trans AM racing series.

Boker quotes the design of the Camaro Z28 and brings the legend to life. The result is more than just a knife. Attitude towards life, a stately journey with the gurgling sound of the V8 engine on a seemingly endless highway, gentle rays of sunlight crossing the canyon and warming the soul. Unforgettable moments without the everyday - just like the extraordinary Boker 1969 Z28-Damascus. In collaboration with Italian designer Tommaso Rumici, a unique "muscle knife" was created that combines the characteristic features of the Camaro Z28 in form and strength. The elegant Damascus drop-point blade, hand-forged by Chad Nichols with an 80-ply Tread pattern, resembles the sloped hood of a muscle car. For this purpose, parts of the upper A-arm from the Camaro were used to make the blade, which opens smoothly with a blue pin, while the biting stainless steel linerlock reliably locks the knife in place. Based on a color analysis of the original model, a precisely crafted "Le Mans Blue" paint finish was created especially for Boker for the aluminum handle, which interprets the lines of the body in a nostalgic way and includes exciting details. The notchback, small rear spoiler and gill-like air intakes on the rear fenders have been beautifully integrated into the knife. The blade axle bolt is beautifully inspired by rims often used on muscle cars, while the simple stainless steel clip, milled from the block, is reminiscent of chrome door handles. Delivery includes a high-quality floating display, large torque and a gentle breeze in your hair. Handmade in the Boker factory in Solingen.
