3 | BOKER M4 SHERMAN DAMAST
The extraordinary Boker Sherman Tank Damascus
is a piece of living history, combining high quality
craftsmanship with historical materials. The American
M4 Sherman Tank was 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, built close to 50,000
units, 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.

1 | BOKER SHERMAN EDC
The great success of the Boker M4 Sherman Damascus,
which is due not only to the history of the historic
Damascus steel but also to the design of the modern
folder, has prompted us to use this as the basis for a
leading and pleasing EDC with a titanium framelock,
which, despite the powder metallurgy of the blade,
also carries a genuine piece of M4 Sherman Damascus.
For the blade of the Sherman EDC we have used
Magnacut for the first time, which is not without
reason being celebrated as a ”miracle steel.“ Unlike
the tool steels usually used, this steel was developed
specifically for knife making. The three desirable
properties of a steel - edge retention, toughness
and rust resistance (stainless in the DIN category)
- represent a conflict of goals. To make the steel rustresistant,
the addition of chromium is necessary, which
makes the structure coarse, brittle and susceptible to
fracture under normal conditions. High hardness,
which has a positive influence on cutting durability,
is usually achieved at the expense of toughness.
With Magnacut, despite the high chromium content
of 10.7% and an impressive hardenability of over
62HRC, it has been possible to achieve a very fine
microstructure and thus high toughness and shockload
tolerance. The addition of nitrogen plays a central
role here. Nitrogen is actually a steel pest in the
alloy. However, due to sophisticated heat treatment,
among other things, the nitrogen of the Magnacut
is integrated into the crystalline lattice structure of
the steel structure and thus achieves the otherwise
contradictory material properties.
The central structural difference to the M4 Damascus
model is the flipper, elegantly integrated into the
contours, which allows the blade to slide open
smoothly with a small impulse and invites you to
play. The ball-bearing blade is opened alternatively by
thumb stud and locked by a sturdy titanium framelock
with stonewash finish. An overdrive stop acts as an
over-extension protection for the lock. The milled
titanium clip (tip-up/r) with a steel ball as well as the
handle scales, made of wild carbon fiber, complete the
harmonious overall picture.
A special highlight of the Boker Sherman EDC is the
protruding backspacer made of Damascus, which is
equipped with a lanyard hole in elongated slotted
design. The Damascus of the backspacer was forged
from various materials from the production of M4
Sherman tanks 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. Blade length: 2.95". Thickness: 3mm. Overall
length: 7.01". Weight: 3.4 oz.

2 | BOKER BARLOW M4 SHERMAN DAMAST
The worldwide enthusiasm for our unique Boker M4
Sherman Damascus quickly convinced us to also
design a classic model supplied with the historysteeped
Damascus steel. Compared to the original
model, the traditional Boker Barlow is significantly
more compact and not only cuts a particularly good
figure in the knife showcase, but also impresses as
a gentleman's knife suitable for a trouser pocket in
everyday life. The blade is made of the incomparable
Sherman Damascus, is opened by nail nick and does
not lock. The operating safety of this history-laden slip
joint pocket knife is further enhanced by a 90 degree
detent when opening and closing. The striking drop
shape of the Barlow can be traced back to the English
pocket knives of the 17th century, which certainly
makes it one of the oldest models ever. The name
110038DAM
of the classic probably goes back to an enterprising
Sheffield knife manufacturer of the same name, who
began exporting the robust knives to North America
around 1800. There they immediately enjoyed great
popularity and so at the end of the 19th century the
first Barlow models also appeared in the history of the
Boker manufactory.
The American M4 Sherman was designed as early as
1940 and is still considered one of the most famous
tanks in history. It was produced between 1942 and
1945, put into service until 1957 and used in 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. The Sherman was built almost 50,000 times
and is the most frequently used tank by the Allies in
the Second World War. It was produced in countless
mission-specific variations and used well into the Cold
War. Together with the Americans in the Wartime
Museum in Virginia, we have managed to preserve an
important piece of vanished history.
The Boker Barlow M4 Sherman-Damascus is supplied
with a unique Damascus blade forged from various
materials from the production of M4 Sherman tanks
previously restored by the museum. The unique
80-layer Damascus is hand forged for us by Chad
Nichols in the customized ”Ladder“ pattern and is
reminiscent of the tank marks left in the ground by
the heavy tracks of the M4 Sherman. The integrally
constructed Barlow is supplied with burlap Micarta
handle scales that are colored to evoke the authentic
camouflage finish of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps.
The handles are CNC-milled from the solid and also
form the characteristic bolsters and are ground to
a matt finish by hand. Supplied with a high quality
Together with the team at the Americans in

The unique Damascus is hand forged by Chad Nichols

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 pivot
screw is modeled on the characteristic main drive
sprocket wheel. The slightly contoured Burlap Micarta
handle fits comfortably in the hand, and the color is
a combination of the camouflage paint used by both
the U.S. Army and the Marine Corps of the time. With
