A piece of history comes to life! The Tirpitz, sister ship of the legendary Bismarck, was the largest battleship ever launched for the German Navy. After the commissioning in February 1941, the Tirpitz soon became a permanent threat for the Western Allies’ Navy in the Northern Atlantic. History tells of many attempts to destroy this mighty weapon-loaded colossus. After the Tirpitz was heavily damaged by air attacks from the British Royal Air Force in September 1944, the ship was placed stationary at the Norwegian coast at Tromsö.

Once again, the Tirpitz was the primary target for heavy attacks of the Royal Air Force. Then, on November 12, 1944, the Tirpitz was hit by special “Tallboy bombs,” which caused the ship to roll over in the shallow water. Shortly after WW II, a Norwegian specialized company began to explore the wreck, to obtain the high alloy steel for further civil use. Scientists were very interested in this material, as it was used in research and development of measurement technology, and even in the astronautics industry.

This piece features the same style and dimensions as the 110190DAM (Tirpitz Damascus), but has a blade made of 154CPM, the newest high performance blade steel. This powder-metallurgical descendant of the very well established 154CM steel offers the typical fine microstructure of PM steels, which makes a very fine edge for extreme sharpness combined with extraordinary edge-holding capability.

Also features a walnut wood handle inlay, making this a truly high class tactical folder.
