Wurzelkraxler is a young company based in Selb, in the Fichtel Mountains, that has specialized in nature and outdoor activities as well as self-sufficiency since its founding in 2016. The team, led by Thomas Preisinger, who has a deep love for nature and the tools associated with it, is particularly passionate about knives and outdoor gear.
As a child, the owner first came into contact with knives. At around 5 years old, he received a Swiss Army Knife (SAK) from his parents, which became a constant companion. Growing up in the region between the Fichtelgebirge and the Upper Palatinate Forest, he was surrounded by nature, and a good knife was an essential companion from an early age. At 16, he discovered his passion for hiking and trekking, which further ignited his interest in knives and their many uses. Today, with over 30 years of experience outdoors, a good knife is still always by his side.
Wurzelkraxler was founded in 2016 and initially began offering courses and workshops in the areas of nature, outdoor activities, and self-sufficiency. Beekeeping, which was started by his wife in 2016, also played an important role. In 2018, the equipment division was added, focusing on high-quality knives and outdoor tools. In 2019, the company moved from Weiden in the Upper Palatinate to Selb, and at the same time, they added vacation home rentals to their offerings, bringing customers even closer to nature.
Another important milestone in the development of Wurzelkraxler was the partnership with Boker. Since 2020, the two companies have had a trusted business relationship. The range of high-quality knives, axes, and outdoor equipment is perfectly suited to the adventure-oriented portfolio of Thomas Preisinger. A particular highlight is the contact with the sales team and customer service, which is described as very friendly and professional.
In line with this, the Boker Plus Vigtig is highly popular with customers. It is praised for its excellent handling and durability, and it is especially in demand among outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and bushcraft lovers. What makes the Vigtig so special is its maneuverability, making it suitable for both precise tasks and more robust work in the field. It is easy to control, keenly sharp, and can be easily resharpened on the go. The knife is particularly favored as a complement to Boker's popular Tracker models but also serves excellently as a standalone tool for hiking and bushcraft activities. The Vigtig's excellent price-to-performance ratio is another reason why it is frequently recommended. The price is more than justified for the quality and practical suitability it offers.
Wurzelkraxler from Selb offers not only high-quality knives and equipment but also a deep insight into the world of outdoor adventures. With over 30 years of experience and a true passion for nature, the company is a trusted partner for anyone looking to explore the world of hiking, trekking, or bushcraft.
