German Böker Tirpitz Damascus Pocket Knife
Collectors knife *Serial numbered*
Made in Solingen / Germany
Introduction:
The huge interest in our extraordinary collector's knife, the Boker Tirpitz Damascus, has convinced us to design another model featuring this historic damask steel. The Boker Tirpitz Damascus Wood is much flatter, with a thickness of around 10 millimeters, and has a much more elegant design thanks to its continuous scales made of local walnut wood. The matte wood of the contoured handle scales is milled three-dimensionally using CNC technology, and the front proudly displays the Tirpitz coat of arms and lettering.
The sister ship of the legendary Bismarck was the largest battleship ever launched for the German navy. Immediately after the end of World War II, a Norwegian specialist company began salvaging the ship, which had sunk off the Norwegian coast, in order to make the high-alloy steel available for civilian purposes.
Norwegian divers recovered parts of the Tirpitz's special armor from the fjord for Böker. From these pieces of living history, the Böker damask smith exclusively forges an extraordinary damask with a fascinating history. The large pyramid pattern in 300 layers characterizes the powerful blade made of hand-forged Damascus steel and makes the knife a highlight of any knife collection.
The combination of Tirpitz steel with carbon tool steels also results in an extremely durable Damascus steel with a Rockwell hardness of 61 to 63 HRC, which is up to any task in everyday use. The blade is locked in place by a 1.5 mm thick liner lock and opened using the removable thumb stud. With clip (tip-up). The knife is delivered in a high-quality transparent frame box with certificate and serial number.
