Description:
The Böker P08 Damascus 121515DAM is a cool fixed knife, with a historical reference. The Lüger P08 is namely the world-famous pistol that was used in Germany from 1904 to 1945. As such it is one of the most iconic weapons from the First and Second World War. This pistol was also used outside of Germany: the Dutch navy and air force used the P08 in the twenties, the French used over 4000 of them after the Second World War and even in Norway the P08 became a standard service pistol after 1945. So a lot of history.
Böker used this pistol as a source of inspiration for this fixed dagger knife. The handle with diamond pattern and the way the scales are secured with the screws immediately make you think of the P08 pistol.
Not only cosmetically there is a link to the P08. The material is also closely related to the pistol. Böker namely asked Chad Nichols to forge damascus steel from the same steel used to produce the barrel of this pistol. The handle is made from cool Rosewood. A tropical type of hard wood.
Böker designed the P08 as a boot dagger, we think of it more like a showcase knife. It does come with a nice leather sheath. The sheath is enhanced with a practical UltiClip to attach it to the edge of your pocket.
Only a limited amount of this knife was produced. Each knife is numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
