Features

Equipped with a Virobloc lock, this knife ensures safety by securely locking the blade in both open and closed positions. This mechanism requires two-handed operation, keeping your fingers safe from the cutting edge.

The handle is made from Padouk wood, a durable reddish-brown timber sourced from Central and West Africa. While stunning in appearance, prolonged exposure to sunlight may alter its color, so store the knife in a shaded area after use to preserve its beauty.

Maintaining this knife is simple. Use Ballistol oil to prevent the wood from drying out and to keep the hinges operating smoothly. Regular sharpening with an Opinel stone ensures the blade stays razor-sharp. Protect it further with a sheath to avoid damage.

The handle, crafted from luxurious Padouk wood, showcases a deep reddish-brown hue that exudes sophistication. Its smooth finish and elegant contours make it a pleasure to hold and admire. The natural grain patterns in the wood add a unique character to each piece, ensuring no two knives are exactly alike. This artistic blend of form and function elevates the knife into a statement of craftsmanship and style.
