Robert Klaas Flaschen-Erl mammoth molar stainless damascus blade
Handcrafted in Solingen – ‘Flaschen-Erl’ pocket knife with handle scales made from mammoth molar and a stainless Balbach Damascus blade
In the 1950s, Robert Klaas created the ‘Flaschen-Erl’ design, inspired by a bottle of brown fizzy drink that had been invented 70 years earlier and had gained worldwide fame. The 2022 annual knife is based on an ink drawing from the Klaas sample book that is at least 60 years old.
The handle scales are crafted from a fossilised mammoth molar, approximately 10,000 years old, sourced from the Siberian permafrost. The knife features matt nickel silver bolsters and brass plates. The Damascus blade made from DSC® inox superclean (stainless) with a rose Damascus pattern is a real eye-catcher. The Damascus blade from Markus Balbach has 640 layers, a very fine steel structure and high edge retention (HRC62).
The thumb stud allows the delicate slip-joint knife to be opened with ease.
