The Pocket Knife 8 cm Don Carlos – Sapelli from F. HERDER is a classic folding pruning knife. The characteristically downward-curved blade with a raised tip represents the traditional form of the Rhenish pruning knife, optimised for cutting with a pulling motion rather than a thrusting one. This design makes it a versatile tool for various cutting tasks in everyday life and outdoor activities.
The blade is made of stainless steel and bears the engraving STAINLESS STEEL. This choice of material is particularly practical for a pocket knife that is often carried on the go and cannot always be dried immediately after every use. The stainless property ensures high durability and ease of maintenance.
The spine of the blade features a nail nick, which allows for easy opening of the knife. When closed, the cutting edge completely and safely disappears between the handle scales, allowing the knife to be carried safely in a pocket. The handle is made of Sapelli wood and is robustly secured with three rivets and a brass rivet at the joint.
The blade also bears the engraving Friedr. Herder Abr. Sohn, the Pik symbol with the lettering PIKAS, and the series lettering Don Carlos. This pocket knife is manufactured by F. HERDER in the traditional knife city of Solingen. It stands for the high quality standard that has distinguished the brand since 1727.
