Folding Knife e.d.c. "Downtown" with Olive Wood Handle
Natural Elegance and Modern Mechanics
While the handle nods to traditional craftsmanship, the interior hides modern technology. The blade rotates on ball bearings, ensuring an absolutely smooth and fluid action when opening. The 65 mm (2.6 inch) blade is made of proven 440 stainless steel. This steel is a staple in knifemaking due to its high corrosion resistance and ability to hold an edge well, while still being easy to sharpen.
The ergonomics of the knife are thought out to the last detail. Distinct finger grooves on the handle ensure the knife fits securely in your hand and does not slip during work. Usage safety is guaranteed by the classic and highly reliable Backlock mechanism, which firmly locks the blade in the open position.
The Tradition of Olive Wood
Olive wood is a material with a rich history, prized since ancient Greece and Rome. It is hard, durable, and has a specific oily structure that naturally protects it. Historically, it was a symbol of peace and wisdom. Today, we appreciate it on knives for its warm grip and the unmistakable aesthetic it provides.
Care and Maintenance
The wooden handle requires a little love to stay beautiful:
- Water is the Enemy: Never wash the knife in a dishwasher and do not leave it soaking in water. Dry it immediately after cleaning.
- Oiling: Occasionally rub the wooden handle with a little olive or linseed oil. The wood "drinks" the oil, darkens slightly, and the grain becomes more pronounced.
- Mechanism: Apply a drop of machine oil to the pivot bearing now and then to maintain smooth operation.
Accessories and Carry Options
The knife comes with a sturdy nylon sheath that is highly versatile—you can wear it on your belt either vertically or horizontally. For those who prefer carrying it directly in a pocket, the knife is also equipped with a steel clip.
