Gaston (aka Gaston J. Glock Style LP) is now selling two knives that I find a bit odd. One is from tank barrels, while the second is from part of the Nazi war machine.
The Leopard Battle Tank knife is a fixed blade knife made from the steel of German tank barrels. These knives use parts of the barrels of the old Leopard 1 A3 battle tank, and add a maple root handle.
According to Gaston, the blades are made from “LEO-Damast” which they describe as a 320-layer Damascus steel. I’m not an expert on knives (perhaps Randall, M@ and others can chime in), but do tank barrels make for good blades? I hope so; retail price on this knife is $1390.
Another knife introduced by Gaston is the Battleship Tirpitz hunting knife. The blade on this knife is made of steel from the German World War II ship that was destroyed at great cost by the Allied forces.
