Couteau le Cathare - Savignac

The blade is shaped like a sage leaf, and the handle is riveted at the axis of rotation, with another rivet at the back of the blade. Like the ARIEGEOIS, this friction or two-nail knife is distinguished by its straighter, rounder handle. More rustic, the CATHARE is a sturdy, simple folding knife with a comfortable, straightforward grip.

• HRC hardness of blade: 58

Wood care

Wood is a natural material, and over time your handle may dry out and reveal its surface grain. To avoid this, oil your handle from time to time to nourish it. To recover it, if time has taken its toll, use very fine body paper, sand lightly and evenly and buff it (with linseed oil, for example). To preserve it for as long as possible, do not immerse in water.

Blade care

Use a damp cloth to clean your blade, rather than running it under water. Do not use a dishwasher.
