  • The knife model is manufactured based off the drawings and sample books of 1932
  • The body of the knife (skeleton) is composed of two stamped brass liners, each having welded pins made of nickel silver, a back spring, a guard attached to the back spring, a connecting piece as well as a blade.
  • The part resulting from “liners” and “pins” is characterized as a “booklet”
  • The blade is made of 320-layer non-stainless Damascus using recycled steel from the German battleship Tirpitz – the wreck was salvaged by a Norwegian and German company.
  • A renown blacksmith folded the steel using traditional handcraft
  • All of the parts are permanently riveted together – this pocket knife's production method is comparable to that of how the knife was assembled in 1932.
  • The knife's scales are made of mammoth tooth, a very fine and sensitive material, thinly sliced and difficult to handle during assembly.
  • The scales are carefully attached to the knife's skeleton
  • All of the approximately 100 different steps are real handcraft performed by highly skilled professionals

  • This knife model was made based on drawings from the manufacturer's pattern books from the year 1932.
  • The body of the knife (skeleton) is composed of two stamped brass liners each having a welded nickel silver liner, a back spring, a guard attached to the back spring, a connecting piece as well as a blade made of G3 Damascus steel.
  • The part resulting from “liners” and “pins” is characterized as a “booklet.”
  • The Damascus steel used for the blade – from an old G3 assault rifle – makes this pocket knife exquisite and unique.
  • The unlocking of the fixed blade occurs via a sophisticated mechanism, which is triggered by the guard – made of the material nickel silver.
  • To manufacture the knife's body, the parts are permanently riveted together. This pocket knife's production method is comparable to that of how the knife was assembled in 1932.
  • The knife's scales are made of stabilized bog oak – a wood which has been preserved through thousands of years in Danish bogs - the color changing to dark brown through the aging process.

  • After more than 100 separate steps using high-quality materials, highly skilled professionals created an extremely durable, top grade knife which retains its sharpness.
