Overview
During the positional war during the First World War and the resulting trench warfare, many of the insufficiently equipped soldiers developed auxiliary weapons, which were manufactured in field forges and workshops on and behind the front. In the course of the battles, however, it became clear that the soldiers' equipment and armament did not meet the requirements of this particular fighting style. In 1915 Boker was therefore commissioned by the Ministry of War to develop a compact combat knife that was ideally suited for precisely this purpose.
A new interpretation of the BO121918 authentic German WWI Trench Knife. A very beautiful Damascus fixed blade. This beauty is the real-deal! 180 layers of stainless steel on both the blade and the guard. A very rare and unique knife, perfect for any collector. Legendary fighting knives with Damascus blades have a tradition at Boker. The handle is specially selected Amboina wood and the Damascus stainless steel blade has 180 layers. Presented in a wooden gift box with certificate of authenticity. Limited to 500 pieces worldwide. This one is #069 (giggity)
Comes with original box and COA. Excellent condition.
