The integrally engineered Barlow has a jute micarta handle that is colored to resemble authentic U.S. Army and Marine Corps camouflage. The solid stainless steel handles, which are milled on CNC mills, also form the distinctive bolsters and are hand sanded to a matte finish. With a quality felt holster for storage, certificate of authenticity and individual serial number. Handmade in the Böker knife manufactory in Solingen.
The American M4 Sherman tank was designed as early as 1940 and is still considered one of the most famous tanks in history.
It was used on all battlefields - not only in the United States and Canada, but also in Great Britain, the Free French Forces, China and even in the Soviet Union. Nearly 50,000 Shermans were produced, and it was the most widely used Allied tank in World War II. It was produced in countless mission-specific variants and was used until the end of the Cold War. Together with the Virginia Museum of Americans at War, they have been able to preserve this legend through this beautiful Barlow M4 Sherman-Damast knife.

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.
