"Better is the enemy of good" is the bon mot of a certain François-Marie Arouet. But who is this precocious fellow with the French-sounding name, and what does he have to do with knives? The answer: nothing at all, except during lavish banquets in the dining rooms of the French aristocracy. By the way, this gourmet of spiritual and worldly fare is better known by the name of Voltaire, and his quote provides a tailor-made template for Pierre Horrolt. Who is this again and does this man finally have something to do with knives? Yes, a lot, because "better" is no longer enough for him. His philosophy is: "Messer-Maxx.de - the maxximum of knife shop."
The specialty store was founded in 2014 as a weapons outlet in Gunzenhausen in central Franconia and quickly made a name for itself. The expansion of the assortment to include knives followed in stages, so that now over 2000 specimens from a wide range of manufacturers are stocked. This guarantees a fast and complete supply of the clientele on site as well as on the internet, which is proven by the professional and splendidly flourishing online store. A wise decision was made in 2019 with the connection of its own knife workshop for sharpening and repairing cutlery, where more and more individual custom knives are now being made. Diving into this whole new world really awakened the owner's passion for knives, as mind and body find harmony in the creation of new knives. Each piece is individual and has its very own soul.
However, this attitude towards knives was not necessarily to be expected. Although Pierre Horrolt received his first pocket knife, almost classic, from his grandfather at a young age, he tended to see cutlery as a secondary assortment during his business, as the focus was on weapons requiring an acquisition license. All the better that his range has now become much "sleeker". But watch out! His enthusiasm is contagious. In special workshops, the owner brings the art of knife making closer to his customers.
Since the founding of the business, Boker has been a proud partner of the knife philosopher from Bavaria: "The nice field service as well as the great assortment of high-quality own products and great import brands make Boker an indispensable partner for us."
Fittingly, his favorite Boker knife: "I already got a pulse when the Sherman Damast was released but the Tiger Damast knife topped everything. Finally a cool Damascus knife with Micarta handle scales for the perfect EDC look. With this knife, the total package of EDC and enthusiast / collector knife combined with a wonderful Damascus, a great story and usual Boker quality is simply convincing."
