The American M4 Sherman was already designed in 1940 and is still considered one of the most famous tanks in history. It was produced between 1942 and 1945, was in service until 1957, and was used on all battlefields of the Second World War - not only by the United States and Canada but also by Great Britain, the Free French Forces, China, and even the Soviet Union. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginally developed to replace the M3 Grant\/Lee medium tank, the Sherman tank's main mission was to support the infantry, lead attacks and reinforce defensive positions. The Sherman was built close to 50,000 times and was the most widely used tank of the Allies during World War II. It was produced in countless mission-specific variations and was used well into the Cold War. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTogether with the Americans in the Wartime Museum in Virginia, we have managed to preserve an important piece of lost history. The Boker Sherman-Damascus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is equipped with a unique Damascus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e blade with 80 layers, forged from different materials from the production of M4 Sherman tanks, which the museum previously restored. The unique Damascus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is forged by hand for us by Chad Nichols in the Customized Ladder pattern and is reminiscent of the tank tracks left in the ground by the heavy chains of the M4 Sherman. The ball bearing blade is opened by thumb stud\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e and locked by a solid steel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e frame lock, a Hinderer Lock-Stop acts as overstretch protection for the lock. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe overall shape of the knife is a tribute to the aesthetic lines of the armour, while the decorative blade axle screw is modelled on the characteristic main drive sprocket. The slightly contoured burlap micarta\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e handle fits comfortably in the hand and the colour is reminiscent of the camouflage paint used by both the U.S. Army and the Marine Corps. With lanyard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e hole and practical deep carry clip\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e (tip-up\/r).
