Böker 98k Damascus Folding Knife

The Böker 98k Damascus folding knife draws its historical design language directly from the iconic 98k bayonet, paired with an exceptional Damascus blade forged from Mauser rifle bore steel. Each blade features a distinctive Ripple Damascus pattern hand-forged by master smith Chad Nichols, making every knife individually unique. The blade deploys via thumb nail and locks securely with a robust backlock mechanism, ensuring reliable retention during use. The handle is crafted from locally sourced walnut wood, echoing the diagonal grooved profile of the original bayonet grip and delivering a secure, ergonomic hold. Even the crosspiece—originally designed as a cleaning tool slot on the rifle—is faithfully reproduced in the damascened steel tang, paying homage to the 98k's functional heritage. Handcrafted entirely at the Böker manufactory in Solingen, this knife represents the pinnacle of German cutlery craftsmanship. Each piece arrives in an elegant presentation box accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and individual serial number, establishing it as a significant collector's item for those who appreciate precision-engineered tactical and hunting knives with historical significance.
