Patented safety lock

This closing knife is made of carbon steel, which can remain sharp for many years. The knife handle is made of hard beech wood, which comes for the most part directly from France. Thanks to its sophisticated shape, the handle fits perfectly in your hand and gives you more confidence when using the knife. The opening mechanism is purely manual. The Virobloc Safety Lock (VRI) helps prevent unwanted opening or closing. By its very nature, the safety lock system is very simple and completely fulfills its purpose. Unwanted opening or closing will not happen to you

Warning for prospective owners: For carbon blade knives, it is to be assumed that the steel may become black or slightly rusty over time. However, this can be avoided by sharpening the blade after each use.
