An exceptional, characterful knife.

The No. 08 Amarante Black knife has an amaranth handle, an exotic wood from northern South America (Brazil, Guyana).
To nourish the wood and get a shiny, silky finish, the handle is buffed with wax using a cotton disk.

The stainless steel blade and the safety lock have a black coating that marries perfectly with the purplish shade so characteristic of amaranth. It naturally darkens over time.

Comes in a wood case with a special label.

Blade length: 8.5 cm
Stainless steel: We use Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. It is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% gives excellent cutting edge.Blade hardness 57-58 HRC
Handle: The handle of this knife is made of amaranth. Precious wood from the north of South America, it is recognizable by its purple hue that will evolve over time becoming darker and darker, offering a dense color.
Matt black blade: This black blade is matt and more resistant to rust than a classic stainless steel blade. This blade is more sensitive to the risk of scratching, be careful not to use abrasive products or sponges when you clean it.
Safety ring: Virobloc made in stainless steel with a specific black treatment which improves the protection against the corrosion. This treatment is scratch-sensitive, be careful not to use abrasive products or abrasive sponges when cleaning.
