Product detailed description
The sensational Böker 98k-Damast revives an important piece of German military history.
The world-famous Karabiner 98k was introduced by the Wehrmacht in 1935 as a standard service rifle and remained the most widely used handgun by German soldiers until the end of World War II in 1945, based on the Mauser System 98 bolt action rifle, which had already been used as a standard weapon by the German army during World War I in the form of the Gewehr 98.
The Böker 98k-Damascus builds on various design features of the 98k bayonet and also features a unique damascus blade made from the barrel steel of Mauser carbines. The remarkable damascus is hand forged by Chad Nichols in the Ripple pattern. The unique blade with distinctive ricasso is securely locked in place with a sturdy recoil safety. The German walnut handle scales adopt the diagonally rippled texture of the bayonet handle scales and provide a secure grip. The knife is manufactured in the Böker knife manufactory in Solingen. With certificate of authenticity and individual serial number.

The roots of Böker go back to the 17th century, when the family forge operated in Remscheid and focused on steel processing and edge tools. Over time, practical experience shaped a technical mindset that balanced durability, cutting performance, and reliability. The expansion into sabres and rapiers around 1829–1830 marked a decisive technological step, demanding precise heat treatment and consistent blade geometry. With more than a hundred skilled craftsmen employed, the company gained the capacity to refine production without losing its artisanal foundation.
During the second half of the 19th century, parts of the family moved to North America, establishing facilities in the USA and Canada. This international presence allowed experimentation with new designs and materials. Today, major production remains in Solingen, supported by manufacturing in the USA and Argentina, while modern CNC machining ensures tight tolerances and repeatable results. Böker develops knives in-house and in collaboration with well-known makers, delivering tools that combine engineering precision with practical usability, including the widely distributed MAGNUM line aimed at robust everyday performance.
