Russells For Men

The Leo IV was Boker's® first fixed blade knife to use Damascus blade steel forged from the barrel of the famous German battletank, Leopard. Boker's® Damascus forger combineed three different steels (carbon tool steels and ball-bearing steel) with the Leopard's gun barrel steel to create a completely unique blade material. In a very complex and technically demanding forging process, he creates a Damascus steel with 600 layers. The four different steels give it an extraordinarily eye-catching appearance in a pattern inspired by the leopard's coat pattern.

Each knife was individually handcrafted in Boker's manufacturing facility in Solingen, Germany by German knifemaker Teyke. The handle scales are made from carefully selected Rosewood Burl, fitted by hand to each knife. The handle inlays are created from the same special Leo Damascus as the blade. The blade is heat treated to a final hardness of 65-67 Rc. making it useful as well as beautiful. A Sterling Sliver guard and handle pins add to the beauty and uniqueness. Measures 8-3/16" overall and weighs 6.4 oz. Limited to 250 knives worldwide, it comes in a handsome wood presentation box with a fine saddle leather sheath. Knife is made in Germany. Sheath is made in England. Suggested retail is $1,995.00.

Six of these knives have resided on the shelf in our warehouse for the past four years. These may be the last available anywhere.
