Description
Böker Leopard-Damast III Collection – Folding Knife with Leopard-Damast Blade (300 Layers) & 180-Layer Damascus Inlay
The Böker Leopard-Damast III Collection returns due to continued demand from collectors, now upgraded with both a flipper and a thumb stud for versatile, intuitive one-hand operation. This exclusive collector’s knife is defined by its rare materials, refined detailing, and premium presentation.
A standout feature is the stainless 180-layer Damascus inlay, meticulously hand-fitted into the handle scale. The inlay creates a striking contrast with the hand-forged Leopard-Damast blade, enhancing depth and character from every angle.
Böker’s legendary Leopard-Damast has long been celebrated in the knife community. The blade is forged from the gun barrel steel of a Leopard tank, built from 300 layers and finished to a hardness of 62 HRC ±1 for outstanding durability and a distinctive Damascus pattern.
For carry options, the knife features a reversible pocket clip enabling tip-up or tip-down configuration. Each knife is delivered in a premium frame-style display case and includes a certificate of authenticity plus an individual serial number, underlining its exclusive collector status.
