Boker Acht-Acht Flak Damast Fixed Blade

Description

Boker presents its first military-historical artillery project with the Eight-Eight (8-8) Flak Damascus collector’s fixed blade. The 8.8 cm Flak (short for anti-aircraft gun) is considered by many connoisseurs to be the best and undisputedly most versatile gun of the Second World War.

The Eight-Eight (8-8) Flak Damascus project has been realised as a fully-fledged piece with a medieval look. The centrepiece is the slender 18.1 cm long blade forged from parts of the 8.8 cm Flak. The handle scroll is turned from a piece of domestically stabilised hornbeam with 16 jimpings. On closer inspection, the radii and proportions of the 5 mm thick stainless–steel parrying piece discreetly form the outline of the cross-guard with side extensions folded up for transport.

The silhouette of the folded-out mount is indicated on the base of the solid stainless–steel end knob. The knife is fitted with a dark brown leather sheath with a belt loop and localised reinforcement. It is supplied with an elegant storage box, certificate of authenticity and an individual serial number.
