Böker pocket knife 98K-Damascus

Böker 98K Damast – A Piece of History Reinterpreted
The Böker 98K Damast pocket knife combines historical significance with modern craftsmanship. It is a tribute to the famous Karabiner 98k, which served as the standard rifle of the German Wehrmacht during World War II. The blade of this extraordinary knife is made from genuine barrel steel of the Mauser carbine and has been hand-forged in 80 layers in a "Ripple" pattern by Chad Nichols. This uniquely decorated blade with a pronounced false edge is opened via a nail nick and reliably secured by a sturdy backlock.

Historical Elements and Modern Design
The design of the knife references the legendary bayonet of the 98k rifle. The handle scales made of domestic walnut wood evoke the diagonally ribbed bayonet handle scales and provide a secure grip. The cross-stitch design under the bolster has also been adopted to emphasize the historical roots. Thus, this pocket knife elegantly combines traditional features with the demands of modern knife enthusiasts.
