If you are looking for a truly rare and unique piece of work, this is a must have for your collection.  The Leo Damascus, a high performance Damascus steel, was made available to Boker through a noted European gorger, Markus Balbach.  This particular steel is forged out of a barrel of the German battle tank Leopard I, thus Leo Damascus.  This specialty steel is not available to the market and there is no material number ever assigned to it because it was only used by the military.  Herr Balbach was fortunate to acquire some for Boker exclusively.

A chromium-manganese and vanadium tool steel alloy was added to this extremely wear-resistant barrel steel.  The result is a remarkably high hardness for Damscus steel (63-65 HRC).  The pattern provided on the blade is labeled ??small pyramid,?? providing a spectacular work of art and as with all true Damascus, every blade is different.  The handle material is hard coated 6061-T6 aluminum and features exotic desert ironwood inlays.  The knife comes with a certificate of authenticity and a gift box.  The Blade Length is 3 3/8??.  The overall length is 7 7/8??.
