The Samnaun Valley, nestled in the majestic Alps of Switzerland, is a hidden gem that fascinates with its breathtaking nature and rich cultural heritage. This picturesque valley, located on the border with Austria, is known not only for its spectacular mountain landscapes, but also for its duty-free status. Since 1892, visitors to Samnaun have enjoyed the privilege of tax-free shopping in exclusive stores - a remnant of times gone by when the valley was difficult to access. One of these stores is the City-Shop Engadin, which sells steel goods and outdoor equipment, among other things.
The company has been in existence for just over 50 years, having been founded in 1973 by Josef and Paula Zegg-Huber and managed until 1991. It was then passed into the hands of Gehard and Ilone Fischer-Zegg, who continued to run the company with passion. At the turn of the year 23/24, the sceptre was passed on to the third generation, namely to Fabrice and Melanie Fischer, who will continue to serve both the Samnaun Valley and tourists with a wide range of products.
Anyone who grows up in a family like this is literally born with knives. Fabrice Fischer received his first pocketknife from his father at the age of 4. Since then, there have been no brakes on this passion. “The passion was awakened at the same time as my first knife and is still growing day by day!”
The collaboration with Boker has existed since 2016 and has been characterized by a respectful and friendly relationship from day one.
The impressive Boker Vollintegral 2.0 Grenadill has also left its mark on Fabrice Fischer. For him, the feel and weight distribution are particularly important.
“The knife is an icon! I love the drop-forged construction and the ergonomics of the handle. The Vollintegral is for every customer who is looking for a beautifully crafted fixed blade knife of the highest quality.”
