The Boker 98k-Damast Pocket Knife is a stunning example of craftsmanship and heritage, combining history, high-quality materials, and functionality into a serialized, limited-edition collector’s item. Inspired by the iconic Mauser 98k rifle, this pocket knife is meticulously handcrafted in Solingen, Germany, a city known for its knife-making excellence. Whether you are a collector, a history enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates a finely made blade, the Boker 98k-Damast is a perfect choice for those seeking something truly special.

Damascus Blade Crafted from Mauser 98k Barrel Steel

At the heart of the Boker 98k-Damast Pocket Knife is its 3.31-inch clip-point blade made from 80-layer Damascus steel. This isn’t just any Damascus steel, though; it’s made from the barrel steel of a Mauser 98k carbine rifle. The 98k rifle is one of the most iconic firearms in military history, used extensively during World War II, and the fact that its steel is now repurposed into this exquisite knife gives it a unique historical significance.

Damascus steel is renowned for its strength, edge retention, and striking visual appearance, featuring intricate patterns created by the layering and folding of the steel. The blade on the Boker 98k-Damast showcases these patterns beautifully, with a deep etch that highlights the complexity of the layers. This process not only makes the blade aesthetically remarkable but also ensures that it holds up under regular use, making it a reliable and sharp tool.

The clip-point design is ideal for precision tasks, providing excellent control for slicing and detailed cuts. Whether you use it as part of your collection or as a functional everyday carry knife, the blade’s quality and durability will not disappoint.

Textured Walnut Wood Handle and Stainless Steel Bolsters

Complementing the stunning Damascus blade are the textured walnut wood handles. Walnut is known for its strength and natural beauty, and the grain pattern on each knife is unique, adding to the individuality of this limited-edition piece. The textured surface not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also provides a secure grip, ensuring comfort and control during use.

Stainless steel bolsters and liners frame the handle, adding both durability and a touch of elegance to the overall design. The combination of rich walnut wood and sleek stainless steel gives the Boker 98k-Damast Pocket Knife a timeless appearance, blending traditional materials with modern functionality.
