Boker Leopard Damascus Bottle Opener II

[AusLoX]

300 layers. Most Damascus is done around 60-120 layers I believe.

Boker makes several knives with this same Damascus process and the steel is also made from a Leopard I German Battle Tank barrel. they are quite expensive but rare. Don't know how much of this steel Boker was able to acquire. Very strong stuff at 60-61 HRC

Dude, that is awesome. Never really imagined that the barrel of a tank could be used for knife or tool steel. :thumbup:

Cool piece! There's something cool about opening a frosty cold beer with a tool made from a tank barrel....

Not a bad asking price, either. I'll probably pick up a couple for gifts.

I had no idea about the steel.. makes this opener even cooler! Thanks for sharing! :thumbup:
