Saddler's Knife 10.5 cm Don Carlos

The Saddler's Knife 10.5 cm Don Carlos by F. HERDER is a short, robust leather knife with a wide blade. The round belly of the blade tapers forward into a raised tip – a shape that is excellent for curved cuts and trimming edges. This knife is an indispensable tool for saddlers, leather craftsmen, and anyone who requires precise and powerful cuts in leather.

The compact design brings the cutting edge close to your hand, giving you great control for short, powerful cuts. The wide blade remains stiff and does not deflect even in thicker leather, guaranteeing you high cutting stability. It is ideal for detailed work, shaping curves, and precisely trimming leather edges.

The handle is made of walnut wood and is riveted with three brass rivets. The additional third rivet distributes the force over the entire length of the handle – this is particularly useful for a tool that is pushed through the blade rather than just pulled. The handle lies comfortably and securely in your hand, even during intensive use.

The blade bears the engraving Friedr. Herder Abr. Sohn, the origin mark SOLINGEN GERMANY, the spade symbol with the inscription PIKAS, and the series inscription Don Carlos. This saddler's knife is manufactured by F. HERDER in the traditional knife city of Solingen and stands for the quality standard that has distinguished the brand since 1727.

Clean your saddler's knife carefully after each use. Wipe the blade with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Store the knife in a dry place. It is not suitable for dishwashers. Sharpen the blade regularly with a suitable whetstone or stropping leather to maintain optimal cutting performance. The walnut wood handle can be treated with a wood care oil if necessary to preserve its beauty and longevity.
