Dönges Basic Tactical

Dönges GmbH & Co. KG is the leading system supplier for fire departments, rescue services, government agencies, the German Armed Forces, and industry, headquartered in the heart of German tool production, the Bergisches Land region. The two neighboring companies, Dönges and Böker, have a decades-long partnership. For the first time, these market leaders in their respective sectors have combined their expertise to create a completely redesigned series of rescue knives for professional users. Dönges contributed its experience as a leading equipment supplier, while Böker brought over 150 years of experience in knife development and manufacturing. The result is a sophisticated product series for four key areas: firefighting, rescue, law enforcement, and military applications. The series is divided into three user levels: Basic, Professional, and Expert. Each of the eight rescue tools is meticulously tailored to the individual user and their specific requirements.

The Dönges Basic series is intentionally designed in a moderate and common pocket knife size. This makes the knife suitable for everyday carry and general cutting tasks. In an emergency, it serves as a professional rescue tool, readily available for unforeseen circumstances. The key features shared by all three models include anodized 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum handle scales with a grippy Dönges honeycomb texture, tough 440A stainless steel blades with a sharp half-shaft and ball-bearing pivots, a glass breaker, a seatbelt cutter, and a reliable steel clip for tip-down carry.

The tanto blade of the tactical variant is designed for users in law enforcement and the military. It can be opened either with a finger flipper or a thumb stud. Both the handle and blade are finished in a consistent all-black design.
