Just got the new Magnum Catalog...
When is the Königstiger/Bismarck/Hindenburg/Messerschmitt Damast coming?
"In tradition of medieval European Damascus sword forging art, we present from our knife factory the successor model of the Swiss dagger in an extremely exclusive collector's edition. Fourway (??? dunno how to translate, four strips of patterns
) Torsion Damascus, consisting one nikkel containing and one mangan containing toolsteel, forged in an extensive and very complicated forging process into a blade of perfect symmetry and beauty. Each individual strip
confused contains a Damascus pack, which firstly forged by hand and afterwards twisted (rotated in itself) fifteen times. Four of these self-rotated sticks are afterwards fire-welded and forged in the final blade shape. The structure of layers obtained in such way guarantees not only the legendary solidity of the Damascus blades, but also produces an unmistakable steel, which distinguishes a Torsion Damascus. Blades of Torsion Damascus were considered as the King's Class in the medieval forging art, which only the aristocracy could afford. Multiple-stripsconfused Torsion Damscus daggers are found in medieval kings' graves, given to the commanders and or rulers as exceptional appreciation. This historical and extremely complicated forging process, which few Damascus smiths have mastered, is completed to perfection by Andreas Heinrichs exclusively for Böker. The beautiful shining black handle is handmade out of ebony highpolished in gripthingie (was ist Griffknauf???) and togother with the guards, they form a perfect entity with the noble blade. The handsewn and decorated leather sheath especially designed for this model, underlines the exclusiveness of these desired collector's pieces. The dagger is excuted in an individual nummer and strickly limited (250 pcs Europe and 250 pcs America). Delivered with collector's certificate in a noble wooden box. Bladelength 21.9cm, total length 36cm. Bladethickness 5mm. Weight 256g. Available from November 2008."
Luckily I've got a poetry license, otherwise no way I could have translate this text literarlly. Herr Böker, Ihr schreibst ungewöhnlich.
