These handmade knives are distinguished by their original but functional line, which is well matched to the traditional manufacturing techniques and the materials used.
The blades are in fact carbon-hardened to a hardness of around 40 HRC after which, after being hammered by hand, the back and sides are covered with clay and the wire tempered at 60 HRC to have excellent cutting capacity, penetration and flexibility. The knife is then polished and sharpened by hand on stone and finished in every single detail.
