The huge interest in our exceptional Boker Tirpitz over the years has convinced us to design another model supplied with the historic Damascus steel. The Boker Barlow Prime Tirpitz Damascus, which is much more compact than the original model, is not only convincing in the collector's showcase, but also as a gentleman's knife suitable for a pocket. The blade is made of the unique Tirpitz Damascus, is supplied with a modern, elongated ricasso and opens with a nail nick. The sister ship of the legendary Bismarck was the largest battleship ever launched for the German Navy.Immediately after the end of the Second World War, a Norwegian specialist company began to cannibalize the ship, which had sunk off the Norwegian coast, in order to make the high-alloy steel available for civilian purposes. Norwegian divers recovered parts of the Tirpitz's special armor from the fjord for Boker. From these pieces of living history, the Boker Damascus smith exclusively forges an extraordinary Damascus supplied with fascinating history. The Great Pyramid pattern in 200 layers distinguishes the hand-forged Damascus blade and makes the knife a highlight of any knife collection. However, the combination of Tirpitz steel with carbon tool steels also results in an extremely durable Damascus that, with a Rockwell hardness of 61 to 63 HRC, is up to any task in everyday use.
