Just ordered a totally unique folder - the Boker Leo Damast II

[the count]

JHansenAK47,

The material is from a WWII Leopard and not a 1965+ Leopard 1.

As far as the M. Balbach website and all advertising material is concerned it is a Leopard I barrel. I finally got the knife and it has the Marcus Balbach logo. Serial number 378. The real McCoy. There is even a more unusual blade made from the (small) remnants of the salvaged WWII German battle ship Tirpitz but I believe that is sold out completely and no more to be found.

Count; Tirpitz, Leopard I, and HK-G3 Damascus blade knives are still available from Gaston Glock Style , the company started by the son of famous gun maker.

Yes, you're right. Did you see the prices......?! Ouch.

My mistake on the Leopard barrel steel.

Who was it that used some barrel steel from a WWII Leopard several years ago???

Sounds like an expensive gimmick to me.
