A truly rare and unique piece of work and a must for your collection, blending the centuries-old art of hand forged Damascus with a piece of history. The Leo Damascus, a high performance Damascus steel, was made available to Boker through a noted European Damascus forger, Markus Balbach. The steel used in this knife is forged out of the barrel of the German battle tank Leopard I, thus Leo Damascus. This specialty steel is not available to the market and there is no material number even assigned to it because it was only used by the military. Herr Balbach was fortunate to acquire some for the exclusive use of Boker. A chromium-manganese and vanadium tool steel alloy was added to this extremely wear-resistant barrel steel. The result is a remarkably high hardness for Damascus steel (63-65 HRC). A very high performance Damascus. The pattern provided on the blade is labeled "small pyramid", providing a spectacular work of art; and as with all true Damascus, every blade is different. Handle material is hard coated 6061-T6 aluminium and features exotic desert ironwoods inlays. Liner locking. Includes certificate of authenticity and gift box. Serialised.

Böker Damascus 2005 £249.95

The brand new Boker Damascus collector's knife goes back to the roots of the classic bolster lockback folding knives. A beautiful and traditional design in a presentation grade. The blade is, as expected, forged of 300 layers of breathtaking Damascus steel. The legendary lockback locks the blade securely in the open position. The handle is made of hand-picked and exclusive Thuya wood, which blends perfectly with the Damascus. Only the best materials and precise work done by hand are good enough for this masterpiece. As a sign of quality we gave our Boker emblem to the handle. The innovation of this knife is that we have used a bolster made of real Damascus for the first time. The fine line of the brass liner is an attractive contrast to the Damascus bolster and the warm tones of the exotic Thuya wood handles. This serialised and limited collector's knife comes with a wooden gift box and a certificate of authenticity. There will only be 999 pieces available, and when they're gone, they're gone!

Böker Leo Damascus II - NEW (1054) £257.95

The successor of our first knife with a Damascus blade forged out of the barrel of the German battle tank LEOPARD I. The edge holding ability is much higher compared to what other steel can achieve. A hardness of 65-67 HRc gives you an indication what to expect. Markus Balbach's capabilities are proven by his newest Damascus pattern: "Large Pyramid". Handle material is hard-coated 6061-T6 aluminum with Ziricota wood inserts. The clip can be switched for tip-up or tip-down carry. The knife includes a certificate of authenticity and a wooden presentation box.

Böker Damascus 2006 (112006) £265.95

"Masame Tsukuri" is the Japanese term for forging Damascus steel like wood grain. In Europe, it is called "Wild Damascus", which is used for the first time for this special annual knife. The structure is a natural result of the forging process, rather than an embossing die (tool). The connoisseur of the international cutlery industry will recognize that we used the patented Spyderhole®. Our friends at SPYDERCO in Colorado granted exclusive permission to use it for our annual Damascus knife. That you, Spyderco! Specially selected 300-year-old root wood from a nut tree, air-dried 10 years, is equivalent to our standards for an exclusive collector's series. Presented in a wooden gift box. Limited to 999 pieces worldwide.

Böker Damascus 588 by Dietmar Pohl (112006) £285.95

It was high time for Boker to present a new fixed blade Damascus knife. Dietmar Pohl thought of the pure collector, but also of the user of such a knife in the field. That is why we chose stainless Damascus with 180 layers. Our Swedish supplier called this particular knife pattern "Odin's Eye". According to the Nordic legend, nothing can be hidden before the eye of Odin. Solid nickel silver cross guard and pommel guarantee a very solid construction. The blade is fastened by a screw at the end cap. Handle is Ziracote wood from Belize - a firmly structured, water-repellent wood. Includes solid wooden gift box and certificate of authenticity. Serialised.

Leather sheath for above £19.95

Herb Derr Birdseye Damascus £319.95

Herb started making knives in 1990 and became a full time knife maker  in 1994.  He now also teaches Damascus bladesmithing.   Herb makes everything on his knives himself,  including the sheath.  "Each total piece is considered functional art," says Herb.  

Your eye is immediately drawn to his blades, which are 2,700-layer Damascus—alternating layers of tool steel and nickel that are folded, forged, refolded, and reforged until they form an elaborate bird's-eye pattern of bright and dark metal. After his blades are forged into their final shape, they are heat-treated to give them a hard edge and a soft spine that provides the best combination of good edge-holding ability and strength. They are also blued in order to heighten the contrast between the steel (which turns darker) and nickel (which remains bright) layers. The final touch is file work—small, decorative cuts on the spine of the blade

4 ¼" Birdseye Damascus.
