1 | BOKER KALASHNIKOV BAYONET DAMAST<br />

In 1947, Mikhail Kalashnikov presented the AK-47<br />

assault rifle he had designed to the Red Army <strong>and</strong><br />

was able to convince the decision-makers of its<br />

development without delay. Only two years later, the<br />

now world famous AK-47 was officially commissioned<br />

as the 7.62mm Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947. Mikhail<br />

Kalashnikov personally visited the <strong>Boker</strong> Manufactory<br />

in Solingen in 2002 <strong>and</strong> officially presented the knife<br />

line <strong>Boker</strong> Kalashnikov to the public. More than 70<br />

years after the AK-47 was put into service, we now<br />

present a truly extraordinary, special model of the knife<br />

line <strong>and</strong> honor, once again, his brilliant engineering<br />

performance.<br />

2 | BOKER 98K DAMAST<br />

The epic <strong>Boker</strong> 98k Damascus brings an important<br />

piece of German military history to life. The world<br />

famous Karabiner 98k carbine was introduced by the<br />

Wehrmacht, the German Armed Forces in 1935 as a<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard service rifle, <strong>and</strong> remained the most widely<br />

used infantry rifle by German soldiers until the end of<br />

the Second World War in 1945. The bolt action rifle was<br />

based on the Mauser System 98 breech system, which<br />

was used with the 98 rifle as the st<strong>and</strong>ard weapon of<br />

the German Army as early as the First World War.<br />

As a reaction to the introduction of the first low smoke<br />

ammunition in France, the German Army Comm<strong>and</strong><br />

had already commissioned the development of a new<br />

cartridge in 1887. This also included the tender for<br />

a new rifle. The Prussian Rifle Testing Commission<br />

chose the 98 rifle of the brothers Franz-Andreas <strong>and</strong><br />

Peter-Paul Mauser, who were already known to the<br />

Commission for the excellent design <strong>and</strong> workmanship<br />

of the Model 71.<br />

The rifle locking system, known internationally mainly<br />

as the Mauser system, was officially introduced in<br />

the Prussian Army in 1898. The pioneering features<br />

were the wing safety with three safety positions, the<br />

generously dimensioned non-rotating extractor with<br />

controlled cartridge feed, <strong>and</strong> the two vertically locking<br />

nipples on the head of the chambered case. Reliability,<br />

robustness <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>ling safety make the system to this<br />

day the most frequently built <strong>and</strong> reproduced chamber<br />

bolt repeater system in history <strong>and</strong> it continues to be<br />

manufactured worldwide for civilian purposes.<br />

The <strong>Boker</strong> 98k Damascus picks up different design<br />

elements of the 98k bayonet, <strong>and</strong> is also equipped<br />

with a unique Damascus blade made of the Mauser<br />

carbine barrel steel. The remarkable Damascus is h<strong>and</strong><br />

forged by Chad Nichols in the "Ripple" pattern. The<br />

unique blade, with its pronounced ricasso, is opened<br />

by nail nick <strong>and</strong> features a protruding backlock. The<br />

h<strong>and</strong>le scales, made of local walnut wood, take up the<br />

diagonally grooved structure of the bayonet h<strong>and</strong>le<br />

scales <strong>and</strong> provide a secure grip. Under the steel bolster,<br />

the transverse groove for lateral cleaning of the shaft<br />

of the cleaning rod holder has also been adopted.<br />

of authenticity <strong>and</strong> individual serial number. Blade<br />

3 | BOKER P08 DAMAST<br />

The unique <strong>Boker</strong> P08 Damascus boot dagger connects<br />

the world of knives with historical military history in<br />

an inimitable way. The P08, also known as Parabellum<br />

Pistol or simply Luger Pistol, is still considered<br />

legendary today <strong>and</strong> convinces with highest precision<br />

<strong>and</strong> reliability. The knee-joint lock with short barrel<br />

return, developed by Georg Luger, made the pistol 08<br />

incredibly compact <strong>and</strong> solid. Added to this was the<br />

caliber 9mm Luger (9x19 NATO), also developed by<br />

Luger for the new pistol, was one of the most powerful<br />

short firearm calibers at the time <strong>and</strong> is still the most<br />

widely used official caliber in the world today.<br />

It was used as a st<strong>and</strong>ard pistol by the German armies<br />

in both world wars, but also gained world fame<br />

beyond the country's borders in a very short time. As<br />

early as 1914, the weapon was used in the armies of<br />

Bulgaria, the Netherl<strong>and</strong>s, Portugal <strong>and</strong> Turkey, <strong>and</strong><br />

was considered a much sought-after weapon until the<br />

end of the Second World War. The production of the<br />

compact pistol required 14 kilograms of steel <strong>and</strong> its<br />

design required such a high degree of precision that<br />

completely new dem<strong>and</strong>s were made on the production<br />

technology. Its unmistakable, almost iconic appearance<br />

secured it a firm place in popular culture like no other<br />

pistol.<br />

The <strong>Boker</strong> P08 Damascus not only incorporates various<br />

design elements of the unusually aesthetic official<br />

weapon, but is also equipped with a unique Damascus<br />

blade made of the barrel steel of this precise pistol. The<br />

Full tang construction<br />

from P08 Damascus.<br />

remarkable Damascus is forged by Chad Nichols, by<br />

h<strong>and</strong>, in a "Boomerang" pattern. The h<strong>and</strong>le scales<br />

of the likewise compactly built boot dagger are made<br />

of certified imported rosewood <strong>and</strong> feature the classic,<br />

simple fish-scale cut of the characteristic pistol grip.<br />

The same construction of the retaining screws is used<br />

to mount these h<strong>and</strong>le scales as on the P08. The cone<br />

of the exposed barrel is also found in the angle of the<br />

h<strong>and</strong>le sides.<br />

The bolsters <strong>and</strong> end knob are made of steel <strong>and</strong> are<br />

finished with a dark stonewash finish. Includes a<br />

high quality black leather sheath with a sewn-in Ulticlip,<br />

<strong>and</strong> can be easily attached thanks to the locking<br />

spring clip. Thus the <strong>Boker</strong> P08 Damascus boot dagger<br />

can be pulled effortlessly while the sheath is reliably<br />

held in place to the user by the Ulti-clip. H<strong>and</strong>made<br />

in the <strong>Boker</strong> Manufactory in Solingen. Presented<br />

in an attractive floating display, with certificate of<br />

authenticity <strong>and</strong> individual serial number. Blade<br />

length: 3.23". Thickness: 2.5mm. Overall length: 6.89".<br />
