Boker M4 Sherman-Damascus Pocket Knife

The extraordinary Boker® M4 Sherman-Damascus is a piece of living history and combines high-quality craftsmanship with historical materials.

The American M4 Sherman was already designed in 1940 and is still considered one of the most famous tanks in history. It was produced between 1942 and 1945, was in service until 1957 and was used on all battlefields of the Second World War - not only by the United States and Canada, but also by Great Britain, the Free French Forces, China and even the Soviet Union.

Originally developed to replace the M3 Grant/Lee medium tank, the Sherman tank's main mission was to support the infantry, lead attacks and reinforce defensive positions. The Sherman was built close to 50,000 times and was the most widely used tank of the Allies during World War II. It was produced in countless mission-specific variations and was used well into the Cold War.

Together with the Americans at the Wartime Museum in Virginia, the folks at Boker have managed to preserve an important piece of lost history. The Boker Sherman-Damascus is equipped with a unique damascus blade with 80 layers, forged from different materials from the production of M4 Sherman tanks, which were previously restored by the museum. The unique damascus is forged by hand for Boker by Chad Nichols in the customized ladder pattern and is reminiscent of the tank tracks left in the ground by the heavy chains of the M4 Sherman. The ball bearing blade is opened by thumb stud and locked by a solid steel frame lock, a Hinderer Lock-Stop acts as overstretch protection for the lock.

The overall shape of the knife is a tribute to the aesthetic lines of the armor, while the decorative blade axle screw is modelled on the characteristic main drive sprocket. The slightly contoured burlap Micarta handle fits comfortably in the hand and the color is reminiscent of the camouflage paint used by both the U.S. Army and the Marine Corps.

A giant chestnut tree, shading the small Boker® tool factory in Remscheid in the 17th century, is the oldest traceable symbol connected with the Boker name. Boker tools were very successful, since they were still among the leading products in Germany and neighboring countries 100 years later.

The famous Boker knives with the tree-brand have been manufactured in Solingen, the German blade-city, since 1869. Since then, no knife has left production without the sign of quality. The history of Boker has been affected by eventful times, but two things remained: Boker's passion and their enthusiasm for extraordinary knives.

Today Boker is renowned all over the word as manufacturer and supplier of an unmatched variety of blade and handle materials and biggest manufacturer in Europe for Sport Knives, Tactical Knives, and Collector's knives.
