Böker Barlow Integral Leopard – Damascus

Böker Solingen 100501DAM Barlow Integral Leopard-Damast Folder
Damascus Spear Point Blade | Canvas Micarta Bolster | Desert Ironwood Scales

A timeless design meets exceptional craftsmanship in the Böker Barlow Integral Leopard-Damast Folder. As a refined interpretation of the classic Barlow, this lightweight slip-joint knife is made to handle everyday cutting tasks with grace, while offering extraordinary appeal to collectors and connoisseurs alike.

At its core lies a 6.5cm  blade forged from Böker’s legendary Leopard-Damascus steel—crafted using barrel steel from the Leopard I main battle tank. With 300 layers and a Rockwell hardness of 61–63, this premium Damascus not only tells a story of strength and heritage, it delivers outstanding edge retention and cutting performance. The blade opens traditionally via a nail nick, staying true to the Barlow’s roots.

The integral handle construction is where this piece truly stands apart. Machined from solid olive drab Canvas Micarta, the handle forms the bolsters and inner frame as a single, seamless unit—eliminating the need for metal liners and reducing weight without sacrificing durability. Complementing this are beautifully contoured scales of certified desert ironwood, offering a warm, organic contrast and a comfortably secure grip.

Whether in a display case or a pocket, the 100501DAM makes a statement. Each knife comes with a certificate of authenticity, an individual serial number, and a premium felt storage case. Handmade in Solingen, Germany, this Barlow represents the peak of tradition and innovation.
