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 />

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 />

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