Important information:
- Each handle is manufactured from natural olive wood, that's why it may look different from the picture.
- The blade has been factory oiled in order to protect against corrosion. Before the first use wash the knife thoroughly and then dry it. Only then is it ready for use.
- HRC hardness - this is a criterion to determine the class of the knife, expressed in degrees HRC (Rockwell scale). Tells us how hard the steel used to make the knife is. The higher the value expressed in HRC degrees, the better the steel from which the knife was forged, and thus the blade will stay sharp longer and require less frequent sharpening.
