Product detailed description
After the overwhelming success of our first LEO Damascene release, we are very happy to have the next development of an extraordinary Damascene steel that meets the high demands of enthusiasts. Our blacksmith Markus Balbach has reached the limits of the art of blacksmithing. The steel for the barrel of the German Leopard I battle tank is made of very fine cylindrical bearing steel A very strong material with a large amount of carbon, making it very difficult to work with. The hardening temperature of both steels is identical, so it creates a perfect harmony in the alloy. The consistent sharpness of the Damascene edge is much higher than that provided by most of today's better steels. This new high-end Damascene steel has achieved a Rockwell hardness of 65-67 HRc. Damascene designs are what are known as "large pyramids". The CNC machined AlMg3 hard-coated aluminum handle and the select inlay of ziricote (wood) create an exclusive and attractive combination. The holder can be mounted in two positions (blade up, blade down). Comes in a premium collector's box including a certificate of authenticity. 22,5 cm in total. Blade 9,6 cm. Weight 155 g.Additional parameters

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.
