Bought a Boker Tirpitz which has sat in a draw since buying it...
Would like to move it on, any suggestions where to advertise it? anybody on here fancy one? It's a knife crafted from salvaged steel from the WW2 battleship the Tirpitz... Kinda stumped where to advertise it? |

Few old fellas living in Argentina might be interested or maybe some boys from Brazil also

Yeah - I mean how often do you come across steel from the tirpitz? Looking for about half that price...

Scrap metal from old wrecks is valuable enough just as 'pre-atomic'/low background steel! 02' 110 TD5 Double Cab Rebuild Thread

It is a beautiful and highly collectible item without a doubt. I'd love to own it, but even at half the price it would end up between my shoulder-blades if I was found out!
![]() If it was steel from Bismarck or Hood, then I'd be very tempted despite the price, or for that matter Prince of Wales or Repulse, but Tirpitz hardly had a distinguished operational record. Last edited by blackwolf on 13th Oct 2022 5:21pm. Edited 1 time in total |

🤣🤣🤣
Don’t know if your a member Liam, but the Stalking Directory forum would find this irresistible. If your not a member I think you can buy ads as you can on here. |

Have a search for the Bushcraft Tradepost UK on Facebook, usually high end knives for sale on their. Just don’t refer to it as a knife in the advert or FB will delete it

It is a thing of beauty but personally I am not sure about converting part of what is in effect a war grave into retail items.
According to Wikipedia between 950 and 1204 souls lost their lives when she capsized. I have zero sympathy for anything the Nazi leadership stood for, but most of the crew onboard were no doubt young men who had little choice but to serve their country. |

Not fashionable but perhaps the greatest of them all HMS Warspite.. should have been in a dry dock somewhere ..i would pay a few hundred notes for a knife made from her! |

On the other hand, it could be seen as a way of remembering them, each and every time you hold the knife. |

I think the tirpitz was broken up for scrap by the Norwegians during the first decade after the war ..the bodies were interred in German war cemetery. I dont think its an official war grave!which country wants a reminder of a foreign occupation and evil empire left of the coast of their shores ..it was rightly broken up to fill the coffers of the Norwegians after the war and rightly so! |
