Boker Tiger Folding Knife 3.35in Plain Dual Burlap Micarta Stonewash Stainless

The Boker Tiger-Damast Folding Knife is a remarkable piece of knife craftsmanship that melds history, precision engineering, and modern utility into one exceptional tool. The centerpiece of this knife is its 3.35-inch Damascus steel clip point blade, forged from steel salvaged from German Tiger tanks. Renowned for their formidable power during WWII, these tanks represent an iconic era of military history. The steel has been repurposed by master designer Chad Nichols into a beautiful mosaic Damascus pattern, capturing both the resilience of the original material and the elegance of Damascus craftsmanship. This blade’s clip-point shape enhances its versatility, allowing for precise cuts and making it a powerful tool for various tasks. Whether used as an everyday carry or kept as a prized collectible, the Tiger-Damast’s blade alone stands as a testament to craftsmanship and history.

Complementing the blade’s historical significance is the dual-handle construction. On the front, the handle is made of premium black burlap Micarta, which is not only attractive but also offers a firm, comfortable grip. Burlap Micarta is known for its durability and texture, making it ideal for a handle that needs to be both robust and comfortable in hand. Micarta also provides natural resistance to moisture and wear, ensuring longevity even with regular use. On the reverse side, the handle is crafted from stonewash stainless steel, adding a modern touch to the overall aesthetic and balancing the knife’s weight. This combination of materials not only enhances the knife’s grip and balance but also provides a striking visual contrast that makes it stand out in any collection.

This limited-edition knife is serialized, further adding to its exclusivity and collectible value. Each piece includes a unique serial number, connecting it directly to Boker’s lineage of exceptional craftsmanship and German heritage. The blade’s rear handle features a stainless steel pocket clip equipped with a glider ball. This innovative design prevents pocket wear by allowing the clip to glide smoothly in and out, making it practical for those who wish to carry it regularly without causing damage to their clothing.

For collectors and enthusiasts, the included suspended floating display case offers a unique way to showcase the knife. When not in use, the Tiger-Damast can be admired from all angles, suspended as if floating, highlighting the intricate details of its construction and the beautiful mosaic Damascus pattern of the blade. This display case is a fitting home for a knife with such a rich history and exceptional build, allowing owners to appreciate its beauty while keeping it protected.

Weighing 4.97 ounces and measuring 4.45 inches closed, the Tiger-Damast is substantial yet comfortable to hold and carry. Its balanced weight distribution allows it to feel solid in the hand without being cumbersome, and the dimensions make it compact enough for pocket carry. The clip point design, combined with the sturdy materials and precise build, makes this knife versatile for tasks from cutting and slicing to more detailed work.

Each Tiger-Damast knife is handmade in Solingen, Germany, a city famed for its long-standing tradition of producing high-quality blades. The knife includes a certificate of authenticity, validating its origin, material, and craftsmanship. This certificate not only ensures the knife’s authenticity but also highlights its collectible value, making it an heirloom-quality piece that can be passed down through generations.

Whether you are drawn to the Tiger-Damast Folding Knife for its historical connections, its practical utility, or its collectible value, it’s clear that Boker has crafted a unique masterpiece that pays homage to both form and function. The combination of historical steel, high-quality materials, and expert craftsmanship makes the Boker Tiger-Damast a standout in any collection.
