Wood of Kings and History in Your Pocket
While the construction of the knife is modern, the materials on the handle have a fascinating history. Padauk comes from the Pterocarpus santalinus, a medium-sized tree native to India, Ceylon, or the Philippines. This wood, often called "Red Sandalwood," has been highly prized throughout history for its extraordinary hardness and rich colour. It was used for making luxury furniture, musical instruments, or intricate marquetry. Owning a knife with such a handle means carrying a piece of exotic nature that will stand the test of time. Interestingly, in many cultures, Padauk was also used for its medicinal properties and in dyeing, where a precious red pigment was extracted from it.
User Guide and Maintenance
The knife is opened manually using the nail nick on the blade. Always ensure the blade is fully open and locked before use. For the long life of your knife, follow these steps:
- Cleaning after work: After contact with acidic substances (e.g., fruit) or moisture, always rinse the blade and wipe it dry.
- Padauk Care: To ensure the wood retains its rich hue and doesn't start to grey, occasionally rub it with a cloth soaked in a little linseed or mineral oil.
- Mechanism: Lubricate the pivot and moving parts of the lock once in a while with a drop of sewing machine oil or specialized knife oil.
- Sharpening: Thanks to the 440 steel, the knife is easy to sharpen on a standard whetstone or ceramic rod.
Safety Warnings
Use the knife exclusively for cutting. Never use it for prying, throwing, or as a substitute for a screwdriver – both the titanium coating and the blade itself could suffer irreversible damage. Never wash the knife in a dishwasher; aggressive detergents and high temperatures will damage the structure of the Padauk wood and the blade's surface finish. Handle the knife with care; it is delivered very sharp.
Recommended Accessories
A pocket whetstone for maintaining the edge in the field and a high-quality oil for treating the wooden handle scales are excellent matches for this knife. If you are looking for a complete kit for your expeditions, we recommend adding a ferrocerium rod for fire-starting.
