The numerous nocturnal operations undertaken by this force and the camouflage they used caused this unit to be nicknamed the “Black Devils” by the German Wehrmacht. This knife is a replica of the specially designed V-42 combat knife given to Devil’s Brigade members as part of their extensive combat training. It features a corrugated thumb rest for a secure grip a curved pommel and thick leather padding under the handle, and a strong double-edged blade. The steel is SK-5 High Carbon Steel, which resists abrasions while maintaining a superior edge. The motto, “The worst is yet to come!” is emblazoned on a collector’s sticker, which is a reproduction of the stickers the camp would place behind enemy lines to demoralize them. The knife also comes with the classic leather sheath and a replica of the unit’s cloth insignia, the red spearhead. The blade’s length is 7 in., and the overall length of the knife is 12 in. Limited lifetime warranty. A chestnut tree is the world famous trademark of the Boker knife manufactory in Solingen, Germany. It represents innovative, high quality, exceptional knives, manufactured with pride, by hand, for over 145 years. Review: Boker makes great knives - It is a knife. But not for slicing bread. This is a very well made knife by a company with a terrific reputation for making knifes. It is a fine replica of the original, but it is not the original. It was made for two reasons. Display is the first. I do not think I would go into war with this, but you could if you really had to. The steel sharpens well and takes a good edge. It is not an axe or a hatchet, it is a knife. Very pointy and strong. It will cut meat fairly easily. I like the coating especially. Balance is good. Construction excellent. The leather "washers used to create the handle are great. The finish coat on them is too smooth for my liking. They need a little ruffing up to make a good gripping surface. Leather on the grip side of the guard is very thick, much better than the cheap copies out there. It appears to be a "working" knife. A full tang that ends in a well shaped and very pointy but is a great addition. The sheath is quality leather and well worked. Nothing about this knife appears to be "cheap". Even the red Canada patch is quality work. Velcro backing would have been better. I guess they were striving for authenticity. Which is why they include the "death card" meant to be left behind to put the fear of the first special forces unit into the hearts of whoever had to clean up the mess made with it. It is a fine addition to my collection, at a respectable price. It even has a faithful reproduction of the thumb grip on the surface of the blade. It is pretty easy to tell the Boker from the cheap knock off. (The knock off is on the left in case you were confused). The best part? I am very pleased with this. My girlfriend gave it to me on my birthday. Review: PURE EVIL - This is as close as you're going to get to the real thing....in a quality reproduction. I can't emphasize enough how EVIL the tip is on this thing. I won't buy a knife that uses crappy steel so I was happy to see that this one went the extra mile and used the SK5. For that reason I'd say you could actually use this for it's intended purpose if the need ever arises. I can't imagine anyone carrying this thing outside of a very specific combat role but the steel should be up to the task. I'm not sure how the tang is on this knife but I wish I did. As a complete package I was very happy with everything. The patch and the sticker were a nice touch and the sheath was top notch. I'm not a fan of the long sheath but it seems historically accurate and it's part of the knife's history so I'm all smiles to have it. - The knife arrived sharp (but not as sharp as a Kabar)... That aside , the beauty of the knife is really in the insanely dangerous tip. I would imagine this would pierce anything (or anyone) you put in front of it within reason. - The "skull cracker" pommel is my favorite thing about the knife. I think it's genius as an offensive weapon or a back up. I don't know why more knives don't utilize this feature. I would imagine you would have no difficulty knocking and enemy unconscious or breaking bone with a well connecting shot. - The only points I would deduct would be the grip. The leather washers are largeer than those in the original and not ground in the way the originals were. While aesthetically it looks nice.... it's probably practically inferior to the rougher grips of the originals and on some other V-42's of lesser quality. Again, It looks great and is well done but I would have preferred the more historically accurate rough texture. The grip on the Boker is rather smooth. - The finish on the knife looks good. It's a charcoal black finish that gives the blade an aged kind of look. Oddly it "sparkles" in the sunlight. Not like glitter.... and it's nothing distracting or that would be reflective in low light conditions but it does kinda sparkle in the same way that some sand paper might. Thats the only way I know how to describe it. The knife was shipped inside of a paper sheathe and to my surprise it shipped with this thick black grease. I'm not sure why they chose to ship the knife with this grease but it was something I would rather not deal with again. I cleaned it with some CLP and by the time I got all the gunk off of it there were a few places where I could tell the finish had worn. It didn't wear off.... but you could tell it had thinned out slightly in certain spots. Not a big issue but just putting that out there. - I was pleased Boker used a good sized piece of leather under the guard. Other companies have omitted this piece of leather all together or used a very thin piece. The original was used as a cushion for the hand upon thrusting strikes so I'm glad to see it's present and accounted for here. - The size of the knife is deceptive. When it arrived it was smaller than I imagined.... but it's really not. When you hold it up to a Kabar the size difference isn't that much from the tip of the blade to the pommel. I think the narrow profile of the blade and the small handle just make it seem smaller. I have small hands and feel like this knife was made for me. It fits my hand very well but because the handle is narrow I can imagine guys with larger hands wishing they had a more substantial handle. The knife feels VERY light and fast. Perfect for piercing / thrusting strokes.... probably not so great for slashing. The long piercing blade is long enough and sharp enough to accomplish any mission it was designed for. It's easy to see why this designed was used for the Devil's Brigade in WWII. This knife is to the point and all business. If you're a fan of the history behind this knife or just a fan of Fairbairn - Sykes style daggers then you can't go wrong with this one. As far as I'm concerned it's the best reproduction currently available. ## Features - Replica red spearhead cloth included with the words "The worst is yet to come!" - Black coated SK-5 carbon steel blade - Handle is made of compressed leather discs and ends in a pointed impact cap - Red spearhead cloth included with the words: The worst is yet to come! - Classic leather sheath included - Limited lifetime warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005ATMZD6 | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #511,761 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #1,895 in Fixed Blade Hunting Knives | | Blade Edge | Compound Bevel | | Blade Length | 7 Inches | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Blade Shape | Straight Back | | Blade Type | Double-edged | | Brand | BÖKER | | Brand Name | BÖKER | | Color | Multi-Color | | Customer Package Type | Boxed | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 279 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00788857020722, 04045011072024 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Leather | | Included Components | Sheath | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 12 Inches | | Item Shape | irregular | | Item Type Name | Boker Plus 02BO1942 V-42 Replica Devils Brigade Knife with 7 in.

Straight Edge Blade - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31SRK6DsYhL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the knife made in the USA?** A: No. You can get a USA-made V42 replica on knifecenter.com. **Q: Hello, I am wondering as to the overal quality of the blade. Is the blade lined-up on-point from tip to crusher? and how is the steel/leather quality** A: Mine was in fine alignment, and I am VERY particular about that sort of thing. I actually ordered one of the more recent V-42 replica offering from CASE (the company which made the original V-42's under contract) , and I wound up sending it back for just that issue. The blade's tip to pommel simply DIDN'T line up, and at almost 5 times the price of this replica. Very disappointing. The Boker which I received is a good value. The blade is straight, of good hardness, and comes fairly sharp, but can be more finely honed if desired. The pommel and the (very sharp) tip line up perfectly. The leather on mine is of good quality, for both the knife and sheath. The only difference that I would wish, would be for the blade to have a fine polished, BLUED finish, like the original (and as found on the Fairbairn-Sykes), instead of the parkerized, mat finish which it has. That said, mine anyway, was a very nice buy, and I'm very happy with it. I keep it in my safe, and I have cheaper, Chinese copy V-42 which I keep in my desk and use as a very scary letter opener. Nobody bothers me in my office when I'm opening my mail...at least not twice. **Q: Every knife ad leaves out probably the most important dimension. What is the thickness??** A: Sorry. I am not where the knife is. It is not on the thick side. I do not believe it ever gets as thick as the top thick side of my Spyderco police model. Hope this helps! **Q: What is the width of the blade at its widest?** A: I must apologize but all my reference knives are locked up for the moment in my safes as we move them. But off top of my head, it is approximately 1". Hope this helps, You can go to Bokers Website and it will give you the exact dimensions though if critical.

The knife itself is incredible! Beautiful and flawless. Needle sharp but sturdy tip, razor sharp double edged blade, and smooth but surprisingly grippy handle. The skull crusher is intimidating from just a few light pokes on my arm. I can't imagine what the effects of a full force swing on someone's head would be, fight ending at the very least I would think. This is a beautiful addition to my collection, but would make a fabulous self defense tool for anyone interested in it for that reason. If you've been on the fence about buying it, DO IT! You won't be disappointed. Fantastic quality for the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Boker Plus 02BO1942 V-42 Replica Devils Brigade Knife with 7 in.
