Applegate goes Mogadischu

Baker drills into history: introducing the Applegate special edition "Operation Fire Magic" - to honor the tireless efforts of the GSG 9 and in memory of the liberation operation of the Lufthansa plane "Landshut" kidnapped by terrorists 40 years ago in Mogadishu.

The manufacturer's statement: "Especially in today's world, where terrorism seems to be almost omnipresent, we want to honor the GSG 9 unit with the special editions Applegate 4.5 and 5.5 'Fire Magic', which we are allowed to equip with the unit's official badge, the famous wings, on the finely satin-finished blade with the official permission of the GSG 9. To give the action an effect beyond the symbolic, Böker donates EUR 5,- from each sold piece to a charitable organization named by the GSG 9." The handle is milled from rosewood and features the characteristic grooved profile for maximum grip. Limited to 500 pieces worldwide per model and individually numbered. Made in Solingen. The Mogadishu knife will be presented in the new Böker catalog Fall/Winter 2017, which begins in September 2017.
