[Böker] Swiss Dagger Mosaic Damascus ★

The Boker Swiss Dagger Mosaic Damascus has an extraordinary blade which is very complex to manufacture. It is one of the Royal Class of Damascus forging and serves to make this already impressive knife an absolute highlight in every knife collection.

In contrast to conventional Damascus, Mosaic Damascus doesn't rely on layering metal. Instead, complex-patterned Damascus bars are forged by hand into a mosaic in an elaborate process. To do this, the Damascus parcel, which initially consists of stacked layers, is cut up and reassembled in an offset form to create a unique mosaic pattern at the end faces of the bar. The Damascus is then cut up again and the complex process is repeated several times, the resulting pattern becoming finer and unique with each step. Finally, the individual parcels are stacked and forged in the shape of a square so that the ends of the individual pieces form a new surface. This extremely demanding forging process, which is mastered by very few Damascus-smiths, is carried out to perfection for the Boker Swiss Dagger by Chad Nichols.

The blade, sharpened and pointed on both sides, historically has a diamond-shaped cross-section, because this construction proved to be extremely stable and effective. The design of the pommel and the crossguard is characteristic of the Swiss Dagger. The unusual, curved handle design can be traced back to the early 13th century. The shimmering dark handle made of hand-picked certified imported Ebony is bordered by the highly polished pommel and the crossguard and forms a perfect union with the fine blade.

The leather sheath, specially designed and hand-sewn for this model, underlines the exclusivity of this coveted collector's item. It is delivered with an individual serial number in a fine wooden box with a certificate of authenticity.
