Details
Artzaina, the shepherd - Filed model and design.
Proud ambassador of our crafts know-how, Artzaina is both a strong and reliable partner and a precious accessory with timeless elegance.
An authentic Basque knife in which we wanted to represent all the elements of the Makila: the scarified medlar wood for the handle, the chiselling of the plates which reminds the viroles, the rounded shape of the pommel at the end of the spring and finally the shape, very tapered which reminds the look of the stick.
Delivered in its cardboard box with its brown or black bull leather pouch and a certificate of authenticity.
Dimensions :
Large size - Closed 12 cm / Open 21,5 cm / Blade 10 cm
French manufacturing in our Atelier in Bidart, Basque Country.

HANDLE
Outstanding handle in stabilised mammoth tooth.
BLADE
Stainless damascus steel 160 layers : we can compare this technique with puff pastry. This steel is composed of RWL34 for the shiny parts and PMC27 for the dark parts, merged together at 1220°C, then hammered, stretched and folded several times on themselves. It is the best steel you can find nowadays !
Maintenance
Except plastics that are not sensitive to water, noble and precious materials we use for our creations like woods, horns, mother-of-pearl, fossilised ivory, etc, don't appreciate to soak in the water ! Just wash the blade with hot soapy water and dry carefully the knife with a soft dish towel. You can also moisture the wood from time to time by rubbing it with a drop of vegetal oil. Our creations are not dishwasher-safe.
