- What Makes it Special
- Care
- Tried and true design since 1890
- Made in the heart of the French Alps [Savoie, France]
- XC90 Carbon Steel Blade
- Handle - ethically harvested wood from French woodlands
- Virobloc® safety ring - keeps blade securely opened or closed
Hand wash only. Do not immerse your knife in water, as this could warp the wooden handle. Do not wash the carbon blade by running it under water, simply wipe it down after use. If wet, immediately dry the carbon blade with a soft, dry towel. Lubricating the carbon blade with a food safe oil before closing the knife is recommended (this prevents oxidation). Over time, carbon steel can develop a patina and may possibly show some corrosion, depending on use.
