Responsible for search and rescue on the North Sea and Baltic Sea - around the clock and in all types of weather. That is what sea rescuers do. No heroes, but professionals - so modest and at the same time their motto means being strict towards themselves.
Since its foundation over 158 years ago, the official legal name has been the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS). The Federal Republic of Germany has entrusted this society with the sovereign task of maritime search and rescue services in the North Sea and Baltic Sea areas. Today, they guarantee one of the most modern and professional maritime rescue services in the world. The primary goal is the fast and effective rescue of human lives. To keep this goal free from external influence and other interests, the sea rescuers have relied on independence from the very beginning and deliberately refrain from using public funds. Funding is based exclusively on voluntary donations. The rescue of human lives at the risk of their own lives is mainly carried out by volunteer sea rescuers.
In close cooperation with these offshore professionals, we have developed the Boker Plus Seenotretter 01, which meets the high requirements on the high seas. As a classic no-nonsense tackle knife, it is aimed at professional and private users on maritime and inland waters or people who work a lot with ropes. It is made entirely of stainless steel. The main blade made of 1.4116 is equipped with a half wave to cut encrusted ropes and harnesses. The marlin spike (for untying hardened knots) also includes shackle and bottle openers. Both blades are held in place by a robust and dirt-resistant slipjoint . For durability and reliability, solid domehead studs are used instead of screws. The front scale is embossed with the Hanseatic cross, the well-known logo of the sea rescuers. Carrying is made easier with a deep-carry clip (tip-up/r). A generously dimensioned cord eyelet protects against loss. Boker donates €5 of the sales proceeds of each knife to the sea rescuers of the DGzRS.
