[Böker] Barlow M4 Sherman Damascus 110038DAM

The Boker Barlow M4 Sherman-Damascus is has a unique Damascus steel blade forged from various materials from the production of M4 Sherman tanks. The unique 80-layer Damascus is hand forged for Boker by Chad Nichols in the custom Ladder pattern and is reminiscent of the tank marks left in the ground by the heavy tracks of the M4 Sherman.

Compared to the original model, the traditional Boker Barlow is significantly more compact and not only cuts a particularly good figure in the knife showcase, but also impresses as a gentleman's knife suitable for a trouser pocket in everyday life. The blade is made of the incomparable Sherman-Damascus, is opened by nail nick and does not lock. The operating safety of the history-rich slipjoint pocket knife is further enhanced by a 90 degree detent when opening and closing.

The striking drop shape of the Barlow can be traced back to English pocket knives of the 17th century, which certainly makes it one of the oldest models still in production. The name of the classic probably goes back to an enterprising Sheffield knife manufacturer of the same name, who began exporting these robust knives to north America around 1800. There they immediately enjoyed great popularity and so, at the end of the 19th century, Boker began producing their first the first Barlow models.

The Barlow is fitted with burlap micarta handle scales that are coloured to evoke the authentic camouflage finish of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. The stainless steel handles are CNC-milled and are ground to a matt finish by hand.

Supplied with a high-quality felt case for storage, a certificate of authenticity and an individual serial number.
