Boker

The Zeitgeist is the sum total of those visions that are born in the present, shape an entire era, and are long gone by the creative minds that generated them. As a specialist in tactical and outdoor knives, Hungarian free spirit and knife maker Kornel Kiss regularly dares to look beyond the tip of his nose and, in the Boker Plus Makri, combines the elements of a practical EDC knife with the advantages of a Kukri blade, whose historical origins go back to Nepal.

As one of the four blacksmiths, the dwarf Dvalin created the Brisingamen necklace for the Germanic goddess of love, Freya. In Norse mythology, this special jewel is attributed with magic, love, but also pain and suffering. Freya's tears in the sky always promised rich fruits on the earth.

However, it was the wrath of the father of the gods, Odin, that often drove the goddess of love to unleash wars in the world of men. Dirk Hofmeister of Midgards Messer was inspired by the art of Nordic forging and created the folding blade version of the beloved Little Dvalin.

The powerful Dvalin Folder Tanto impresses with its compact dimensions and features a Tanto blade in D2 steel with ball bearings, finished with a rough stonewash appearance and equipped with a deep engraving on both sides to open the folding knife using the recess as a nail lever.

The engraving on the top of the blade offers a secure grip for the thumb during complex cutting operations. Despite the wrath of the gods, the well-formed and partly grooved G10 handle always fits firmly in the hand. On the back of the handle is the stainless steel Frame Lock that securely locks the blade.

With a commercial 3D printer, it is possible to print alternative handles in various shapes, colors, and materials. The Tip-Up (r) clip matches the handle's texture, while the lanyard hole increases ease of use. It comes with a high-quality nylon case for storage.

The great success of the Boker M4 Sherman Damascus, due not only to the history of the historic Damascus steel but also to the design, prompted us to use this as the basis for a performing and pleasant EDC with a titanium framelock, which, despite the metallurgy of the blade powders, also carries a real piece of M4 Sherman Damascus.

For the blade of the Sherman EDC we used Magnacut for the first time, which is not without reason celebrated as a "miracle steel". Unlike the usually used tool steels, this steel was specially developed for the production of knives. The three desirable properties of a steel - edge retention, toughness and resistance to rust (stainless in the DIN category) - represent a conflict of goals. To make the steel resistant to rust, the addition of chromium is necessary, which makes the structure coarse, brittle and prone to fracture under normal conditions. The high hardness, which has a positive influence on the cutting life, is usually achieved at the expense of toughness. With Magnacut, despite the high chromium content of 10.7% and an impressive hardenability of over 62HRC, it was possible to achieve a very fine microstructure and thus a high toughness and shock load tolerance. The addition of nitrogen plays a central role here.

The central structural difference compared to the M4 Damascus model is the elegantly integrated flipper, which allows the blade to open smoothly with a small impulse.

A special highlight of the Boker Sherman EDC is the protruding Damascus backspacer, which is equipped with a lanyard hole in an elongated slot design. The Damascus of the backspacer was forged from various materials from Chad Nichols' M4 Sherman tank production in the Customized Ladder pattern and resembles the tank tracks left in the ground by the heavy chains of the M4 Sherman.
