The impressive Boker Tiger-Damast expands Boker’s series of historically inspired pocket knives with a truly exceptional collector’s piece. Rich in provenance, this knife represents living history—uniting high-end craftsmanship with authentic historical materials. Known worldwide as the Tiger, the Panzerkampfwagen VI entered service with the German armed forces in late summer 1942. Despite a comparatively limited production run of approximately 1,350 units, it is regarded as one of the most iconic tanks in history. Development of the heavy tank began as early as 1937, with series production commencing in August 1942. Today, only seven original Tigers remain preserved and displayed worldwide. Due to their rarity, even reconstructed examples—so-called Frankentigers assembled from components of different production years—are of significant historical interest. The steel used for the Boker Tiger-Damast originates from a Tiger I of the Schwere Panzerabteilung 502, destroyed in combat during the summer of 1944 near Bauska, Latvia, in heavily wooded terrain. Analysis of the recovered wreckage indicates that this tank was an early- to mid-production model. Examination of battle damage, military records, and contemporary local accounts suggests the vehicle engaged both a Soviet T-34 medium tank and an SU-76 tank destroyer, while also sustaining hits from a stationary 45 mm anti-tank gun. Multiple 76 mm projectile fragments embedded in the armor point to decisive hits from a nearby T-34, which was itself destroyed approximately 300 meters away. Which impact ultimately disabled the Tiger remains uncertain. At the time, renowned tank commanders Otto Carius and Albert Kerscher, among the most successful of the Second World War, were engaged with the Schwere Panzerabteilung 502 in attempts to halt the Soviet advance toward Riga. The unit’s actions near Tukums enabled a strategic retreat of more than 500,000 soldiers of Army Group North into the Latvian region of Courland, where they remained encircled yet supplied by sea. The so-called Courland Pocket withstood six major Soviet offensives before the unconditional surrender on May 8, 1945. The straight-edged Boker Tiger-Damast features a distinctive non-stainless mosaic Damascus blade, forged from the original armor steel of the Tiger destroyed near Bauska. Hand-forged by Chad Nichols in the expressive Intrepid pattern, the blade evokes the powerful tracks imprinted by the tank’s immense weight. Unlike conventional layered Damascus, mosaic Damascus is created through an especially complex process in which intricately forged Damascus bars are assembled into a unified pattern—an approach that demands exceptional skill and precision. The ball-bearing blade opens smoothly via a thumb stud and is secured by a robust steel frame lock with a stonewashed finish. A Hinderer Lock-Stop provides overtravel protection for enhanced safety. The knife’s overall form echoes the unmistakable contours of the Tiger tank, while the decorative pivot screw is modeled after the vehicle’s main drive sprocket. Slightly contoured burlap Micarta handle scales feature precisely milled grooves inspired by the textured Zimmerit coating applied to German armored vehicles. A lanyard hole and a milled pocket clip (tip-up, right-hand carry) with steel ball complete the functional design. Handcrafted in the Boker Knife Manufactory in Solingen, the Boker Tiger-Damast is presented in an elegant suspended display, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and an individual serial number, affirming its status as a distinguished collector’s piece.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.

Excellent

Благодарю Böker за качественную частичку истории. Прекрасное качество, превосходный дизайн. Идея создавать ножи с историей - выше всяких похвал. Спасибо!
Vielen Dank an Böker für ein hochwertiges Stück Geschichte. Hervorragende Qualität, ausgezeichnetes Design. Die Idee, Messer mit Geschichte zu schaffen, ist nicht zu loben. Danke!

Ein Stück Geschichte

Mit diesem außergewöhnlichen Messer und Stück deutscher Militärgeschichte habe ich mir das zweite Messer der Manufaktur Böker gegönnt.
Unfassbar tolles Design, sehr gute Wahl der Materialien und dessen Kombination machen das Messer zu einem wahren Kunstwerk. Darf in keiner Vitrine fehlen,

From: Oliver Trost On: 25 Mar 2022

Alles richtig gemacht, Böker

Ich hatte nun das Glück, dass das Messer bereits am 05.03.22 geliefert wurde. Dafür geht erst mal ein Dank an Böker raus. Es hat jetzt seinen Platz neben den Tirpitz-Damast gefunden. Nicht ganz günstig, aber bei dem historischen Hintergrund gab es bei mir nur 2 Sekunden Gedenkzeit zum Kauf. Ich musste es einfach haben und bereue ist nicht. Böker, macht weiter so...

From: Stefan Rehse On: 17 Mar 2022

Unübertreffbar!

Ich habe heute früher als gedacht mein Tiger-Messer erhalten und ich kann nur sagen: DANKE Böker!!! Danke, für diese unglaubliche Möglichkeit, solch ein exklusives Stück Geschichte zu erwerben! Kein anderes Unternehmen auf dieser Welt hat bisher etwas vergleichbares vorgestellt. Danke!!
Die Verarbeitung des Messers sucht wie bei Böker gewohnt , ihres Gleichen. Absolut top! Verarbeitung, Design und Lieferumfang mit dem schönen Display und dem Zertifikat lassen für mich keinerlei Wünsche offen. Besser geht es nicht!
