Description
Do you want to own a piece of Cold War history?
The Leopard I was West Germany’s answer to the Soviet armor threat in Central Europe. First fielded in 1965 and deployed across twelve NATO nations including Germany, Belgium, Norway, Canada, and Australia, it became one of the Cold War’s most iconic main battle tanks. Its primary weapon was the British Royal Ordnance L7A3 105mm rifled cannon — one of the most effective tank guns of the era.
That cannon is the steel in your hands.
The blade, backspacer, and pocket clip of this liner lock folder are forged from steel reclaimed from a decommissioned Leopard I 105mm main cannon — 320 layers of that history folded and shaped into a working knife you can carry every day.
The handle pairs forged carbon fiber — the same material used in high-performance supercar chassis — with high-figure Tasmanian Blackwood from knights stabilized woods, and black anodized titanium liners and hardware.
This is some of the final stock manufactured by Damaworks and there will be a maximum of 32 of these Tank Damascus blades to come out of my shop, this knife is #1 of 8 made in the “Wild” pattern.
3-1/2″ cutting edge and 7-7/8″ Overall
Skiff Bearing
