Böker Tirpitz-Damast Wood 42 110197DAM

Tirpitz, also known as the lonely queen of the north, was the second battleship of the Bismarck class of the German Kriegsmarine. It was named after the German Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz.

The enormous battleship was sunk in 1944 off the coast of Norway. Immediately after the end of World War II, a Norwegian company sent experts to salvage the wreck of the ship in order to make the highly alloyed steel available for civilian use. Boker received some parts of the salvaged Tirpitz armor. Their blacksmith took this living history and created exclusive and exceptional steel with a fascinating history.

The blade consists of 300 layers of hand-forged Tirpitz Damascus with the pattern "Great Pyramid" and a hardness of 61 to 63 HRC. The blade can be opened with a thumb stud and is secured with a liner lock with a thickness of 1.5 mm. It has a clip with two possible attachment positions. The handle is made of walnut wood, with the coat of arms and the name Tirpitz engraved on it. It is delivered in a collector's package with an individual serial number and a certificate of authenticity.
