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 Troms. 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 and 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. Especially for Boker Norwegian divers have now retrieved parts of the special armor of the Tirpitz from the Fjord. These pieces of living history are being exclusively forged by our Damascus forger to an extraordinary Damascus steel with an exciting background. The pattern Great Pyramids with more than 300 layers adorns the mighty 4 blade and makes this piece the highlight of any collection.
