Fabrics

HANDLE

Ebony with mother-of-pearl or abalone inserts.

LAME

2 types of steel :

- 12C27 stainless steel (Sandvik): premium stainless steel, high in chromium and carbon which gives it a robust and easy-to-maintain cutting edge.

- 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

Excepté les plastiques qui ne craignent pas l’eau, les matériaux nobles et précieux que nous utilisons pour nos créations tels les bois, cornes, nacre, ivoire fossilisé etc. n’apprécient, quant à eux, pas du tout de tremper dans l’eau ! Vous pouvez également de temps à autres, nourrir les bois en les massant avec une goutte d’huile végétale. Ne passe pas au lave-vaisselle.
