Information:
Since 31st October 2024, there has been a general ban on the handling and possession of switchblade knives of all kinds in Germany. They are now prohibited objects and the possession thereof is a criminal offence. The possession of certain switchblade knives is prohibited in accordance with Annex 2 to the German Weapons law, Section 1, Number 1.4.1, and only permitted to persons who have a legitimate interest necessitating one-handed use (such as due to the loss of an arm or a missing or dysfunctional hand), or use them in connection with professional activities (e.g. hunting, crafts) or sports (e.g. sailing or mountaineering). The same applies to commercial dealers or manufacturers of such knives. Consequently,the sale is limited only to authorized individuals. Please verify before placing an order whether you possess such a legitimate interest.

Many fans know Solingen-based knifemaker Wilfried Gorski as an ingenious tinkerer. The designs of his mechanism undoubtedly deserve special attention. With the Tucan, we present a unique combination of elegant spring knife, assisted opener, and manually deployed pocket knife, with the fascinating element being that all three features do not operate alternatively but all at the same time instead. When actuated, the spring-knife type safety slide under the blade pivot deploys the blade slightly based on spring force, whereupon the blade is subsequently fully deployed manually. The handle consists of premium satin-finished titanium, creating an exceedingly elegant impression with the carbon fiber inlay in the scales and blade pivot screw. The blade is made from N690 and features a two-tone finish. The small slide also disengages the blade for retracting. A unique concept penned by Wilfried Gorski, executed as a highly-exclusive, series-produced gentlemen's folder by the Böker Manufactory Solingen.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
