Product detailed description
Böker Sherman Damascus has a unique damascus blade forged from various materials from the production of M4 Sherman tanks. The unique 80-ply damascus is hand forged by Chad Nichols in the Customized Ladder pattern, and is reminiscent of the footprints left by the M4 Sherman heavy tracked vehicles that the tank left in the ground. The ball-bearing blade opens with the thumb and is locked with a sturdy steel frame lock, while a Hinderer Lock-Stop safety serves as a lock override protection. The overall shape of the knife pays homage to the aesthetic lines of the tank, while the decorative knife axis bolt is modeled after the characteristic main drive wheel. The lightly contoured jute micarta handle feels comfortable in the hand and is reminiscent in color to the camouflage used by the US Army and Marine Corps. With loop for strap retention and practical clip for deep carry (tip-up/r). Handmade in the Böker knife manufactory in Solingen. With certificate of authenticity and individual serial number.

Böker - the history of the factory dates back to the 17th century, the original forge was then located in Remscheid. In 1829-30, production was extended to sabres and swords. At that time, the factory employed over 100 blacksmiths and sharpeners. In the second half of the 19th century, part of the family moved to the USA and Canada, where they established further production facilities. The last of the Bocker siblings, Heinrich, moved to Solingen where most of today's production comes from. Boker manufactures knives according to its own designs and those of well-known knifemakers.
The company now manufactures its products in Germany, the USA and Argentina and uses the marketing brand MAGNUM. Böker develops new types and designs itself and employs several designers. The knives are manufactured on CNC (computer controlled machine tools) with the highest quality.
