Latest news and updates at Pohl Force GmbH

18.03.2024 - PREPPER S.E.R.E. II - the new generation of the Pohl Force Prepper series!

Based on the well-known Prepper One, designer Dietmar Pohl developed the S.E.R.E., which impresses with numerous proven and new features.

With a blade length of less than 12 centimeters, it meets German weapons regulations and, with an overall length of 24.5 centimeters, is a compact workhorse for many applications! The sturdy 6 millimeter thick blade made of German Niolox steel provides the S.E.R.E. II with high edge retention, excellent abrasion resistance and good corrosion resistance.

The new hand guard with screwdriver and slotted hole now offers even more flexibility and safety. The new S.E.R.E. II is also equipped with a considerable cavity for Suvivial utensils in the handle. The flattened area at the end of the handle is designed for hammering and for lighting a firesteel. The very durable handle scales made of black G-10 are provided with the typical Pohl Force non-slip structure, the blade and the tang are matt blasted using the "Double Blast" process.

Extremely robust nylon and Kydex® with a considerable material thickness of 2.5 millimeters are the basis for a well thought-out and durable carrying system that fully meets the high demands placed on a tactical knife in practice.

15.03.2024 - NOW AVAILABLE! The new Prepper S.E.R.E. II - Black G-10

The brand-new POHL FORCE - Prepper S.E.R.E. II with black G-10 handle scales!

The completely new Prepper generation is now focused on the needs of crew members of civilian and especially military aircraft. The term S.E.R.E. (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) refers to the ability to survive, evade, resist and escape. The Prepper S.E.R.E. II was developed with this application profile in mind.

Extremely sturdy G-10 in black and the surface blasted using the „Double Blast“ process are an exciting combination of the new PREPPER S.E.R.E. II.

13.01.2024 - Back in stock: the new Prepper S.E.R.E.!

We have finished the required Kydex® sheaths and the new Prepper S.E.R.E. is back in stock!

The Kydex® sheath is equipped with the proven belt adapter made of extremely robust nylon, which is also removable. This allows the Prepper S.E.R.E. to be carried lower and therefore more comfortably. For the Kydex® sheath of the Prepper, we have also chosen the significantly thicker Kydex® material (2.5 millimeters) than is usually used for Kydex® sheaths. The result is a well thought-out and durable carry system that fully meets the high demands of practical use.

We are very happy about all the feedback we have received from enthusiastic users and collectors since the first knives were delivered last December. It is therefore not surprising that the majority of the limited edition of 250 knives have been sold or already pre-ordered.

Around 45 Prepper S.E.R.E., divided into both versions with and without Collector's Pouch, are currently still available. Delivery while stocks last! Get your own Prepper!

Whether for your next outdoor tour or for professional use - be well prepared with the new Prepper S.E.R.E.!

19.11.2023 - December 2023: the new Prepper S.E.R.E!

With the Prepper One series, Pohl Force introduced a completely new knife concept for bushcrafters and outdoor enthusiasts in 2016: Compact in overall size, a blade length that complies with German weapons regulations (below 12 cm) and a hollow handle for storing survival utensils. After just a short time, Dietmar Pohl's design became a real classic among outdoor fans. 

In 2023, the Prepper One formed the basis for the further development of a completely new generation, which now focuses on the needs of crew members of civilian and, in particular, military aircraft. The term S.E.R.E. refers to the ability to survive, evade, resist and escape. The Prepper S.E.R.E. was developed with this application profile in mind.

The new PREPPER S.E.R.E. will be available next December! Don't miss the release date and sign up for our newsletter.

06.03.2023 - This summer: Bravo One | Two Classic

Bravo One | Two Classic - To celebrate Pohl Force's 15th anniversary, the popular Bravo One | Two Gen. 1 folding knife models are reissued.

Right from the very beginning, their size and compact shapes made them ideal companions for everyday use. And this has not changed to this day. Like the Alpha Two X on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the company with the original handle design of the first generation. The new Classic Edition also features the other details such as the lock-back mechanism, the pocket clip that can be mounted on either the left or right side, and the two-handed opening of the blades.

It's not only Pohl Force that is celebrating an anniversary, but also designer and company founder Dietmar Pohl. At the beginning of the 1990s, now 30 years ago, he created his first knife designs on paper, which opened up a new chapter in his life. ATS-34 from the Japanese steel manufacturer Hitachi, a pendant to the American 154CM steel, was one of the most popular steels of the time. For nearly a decade, ATS-34 steel remained the first choice of custom knifemakers before powder metallurgy steel took off in the 2000s. On the occasion of the company's anniversary, Dietmar Pohl managed to obtain "his" steel again in a very limited quantity and use it for the Classic Edition of the Bravo One / Two. The very corrosion-resistant ATS-34 impresses with its outstanding sharpness and long edge retention.

The Bravo One and Bravo Two will be available in two different versions. Both Classic models are equipped with durable handle scales made of black GRP and a Spearpoint or Tanto blade. The appearance of the Bravo Classic Series is either elegant with black handles and two-tone finish (Stonewashed/Longitudinal Satin) blades or tactical military with Flat Dark Earth colored handles and Dark Stonewashed blades, depending on personal preference and application. All versions have the same outstanding usability for everyday use. Overall length 19.5 cm, blade length 8.3 cm blade thickness 3.5 mm. Weight 120 g.

The price for the Classic models will be 189,00 Euro (incl. 19% VAT). Expected to be available from summer 2023.
