On the edge of Saxony, surrounded by picturesque forests, lies the romantic, 800-year-old town of Elsterberg in the Vogtland region. Nestled in the green valley of the Weiße Elster, where the river crosses into Thuringia, the townscape is characterized by well-kept houses and tranquil stores, the listed market square with its fountain, the vicarage and the Laurentius church, which is well worth seeing. The largest castle ruins in Saxony are enthroned high above the town.
Since 2008, sport fisherman Uwe Pietrock has been selling a range of 3200 items from fishing accessories to outdoor products and knives in his 30 m² store. Even as a young boy, the small knife corner in the local zoo and fishing store immediately captivated him and sparked his passion, so that he bought his first knife with his first pocket money. When he opened his store, a little bird chirped to him that a reputable fishing and knife store should definitely not be without Boker knives. As a result, Uwe Pietrock visited the Boker stand at the IWA trade fair in 2009 and was immediately impressed by the variety and quality. "I was very well looked after by the senior boss and landed a big fish for my range with Boker. Since then, I have been very well looked after by the sales force, and I get the fastest possible information when I have questions about products."
The enthusiastic angler has already thrown out an irresistible lure for his customers, who can't help but bite. The Boker Arbolito Trapper, a beautifully shaped hunting knife with a Böhler N695 blade and ebony handle, handmade in Argentina. "This shape is perfect for gutting game. You can see that this knife was made with South American charm. The hand of the master is clearly recognizable. Boker used mosaic pins to attach the handle. It's really chic and a real eye-catcher!" Boker knives are not only found in Uwe Pietrock's store, they are also loved by everyone at home: "Our favorite Boker knives are the Saga and Core kitchen knives, which we like to use in our families for cooking."
If you want to make your next fishing trip to the lake unforgettable, Uwe Pietrock will provide you with the right products, expert advice and a frenetic "Petri Heil!"
