Boker Solingen Trapper Uno 2021 Annual Damascus Blue Curly Maple Slip Joint Collector's Knife 1132021DAM

For the 2021 Annual Damascus collector's knife, Boker chose the popular Boker Trapper Uno, a perfect everyday companion due to its extremely narrow design. Inspired by American trappers of the historical settler era, the Trapper Uno slims down the design with only bolsters at the pivot for lighter carry. This limited collector's version has a hand forged Nichols Ripple stainless Damascus blade and blue stabilized curly maple wood with the decorative brass bolsters. Strictly limited to 999 pieces worldwide. Includes floating display, certificate of authenticity and individual serial number.

Brand new, direct from Boker, Solingen, Germany.

Blade: Made from Chad Nichols' hand forged Ripple pattern stainless Damascus, the Trapper comes with a single clip point blade, a defining feature of the Trapper pattern. The blade is a long clip point with a generous nail nick for opening and full flat grind for good slicing performance with solid durability. Nichols stainless Damascus deliver modern performance with a striking look and minimal maintenance.

Handle: Smooth blue stabilized curly maple scales are flush fit to decorative brass bolsters featuring the city of Solingen's coat of arms: two crossed swords of the “City of blades” and an anchor, the symbol of St. Clement, patron saint of the city since the 10th century. The blue maple offers a warm feel and striking look with a unique striped transverse pattern pairing with brass liners and bolsters to form the colors of the city of Solingen. A stainless steel back spring delivers a strong slip joint operation.

Nichols Stainless Damascus: Stainless Damascus offers the performance of a modern stainless steel while delivering a unique look from the pattern welded layers and acid etched finish. Available in multiple patterns, stainless Damascus gives a knife a striking and singular look. Composed of AEB-L and 304, Nichols Damascus delivers excellent corrosion resistance and toughness with good hardness for edge retention.
