[Böker] M4 Sherman Damascus (Damast) Rose Gold

The Boker M4 Sherman-Damast Rose Gold is more than just a knife; it is a tribute to the legendary M4 Sherman Tank, one of the most iconic military vehicles in history. Designed in 1940, the M4 Sherman played a crucial role in World War II, seeing action on all major battlefields—not only by the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, China, and even the Soviet Union.

History Of the M4 Sherman Tank

Between 1942 and 1945, nearly 50,000 M4 Shermans were produced, and they remained in service until 1957. The Sherman tank was known for its infantry support, attack capability, and defensive reinforcement, marking a turning point in warfare. The Boker M4 Sherman-Damast Rose Gold honors this iconic vehicle by combining craftsmanship with historical significance.

In collaboration with the Americans in Wartime Museum in Virginia, we’ve managed to preserve a unique piece of history. The knife is equipped with a Damascus blade made from materials sourced from restored M4 Sherman tanks. The intricate 80-layer Damascus is hand-forged by renowned smith Chad Nichols in a Customized Ladder pattern. This unique pattern resembles the tank tracks left by the Sherman’s heavy chains on the ground and symbolizes the Sherman’s historic impact on the course of the war.

Additionally, this special model features a rose gold coating on the blade, clip, and screws, giving the knife an especially elegant finish. The one-hand opening knife can be opened easily either with a flipper or thumb pin, and it is securely locked with a stable Frame Lock. The Hinderer Lock-Stop protects against overextension of the lock, adding extra durability.

The knife’s design itself is a tribute to the M4 Sherman Tank. The pivot screw is modeled after the tank's iconic main drive sprocket, and the handle is made from a combination of Titanium and Carbon, offering not only a modern, lightweight feel but also exceptional durability and aesthetic appeal. The collector’s knife features a lanyard hole and a Deep-Carry Tip-Up Clip, allowing for comfortable and discreet carry.

Handcrafted in the Boker Knife Manufactory Solingen, this limited edition of just 500 pieces worldwide is an exclusive collector’s item, delivered with a certificate of authenticity and an individual serial number. The knife is presented in an elegant floating display, emphasizing the uniqueness of this extraordinary model.
