AU SABOT L'Alsacien folding knife carbon steel horn handle 10cm

The folding knife is in a class of its own. Commonly used on various adventures, it proves to be a highly effective practical item when it comes to making impromptu cuts. It's easy to keep handy, either in a pocket or a bag.

AU SABOT is one of France's oldest cutlery brands. Its reputation stems from its famous regional knives, each with its own unique style. This French manufacturer is renowned for producing knives with an excellent cutting edge that keeps for a long time.

The Anglo-Saxon-inspired name"L'Alsacien" refers to the distinctive shape of the handle, rounded at both ends.

This L'Alsacien 10cm folding knife features an XC75 carbon steel blade. Carbon steel is famous for its hardness, which stands at 60HRC on the Rockwell scale. This knife has a long-lasting cutting edge, enabling it to be used for a wide range of cutting applications. It can be used to slice food, such as meat, as well as small outdoor materials.

It's important to note that a carbon blade is sensitive to oxidation. In fact, it should be cleaned by hand, then wiped dry with a soft cloth. You can also oil it from time to time with mineral oil, to protect it. It should be noted that, despite careful maintenance, a carbon blade may change color over time (notably due to the acidity of the food being cut, or the humidity in the air).

With its Nail Nick opening system, your fingernail is all you need to open the blade quickly, thanks to the notch at the tip.

The handle is decorated in horn. The tint tends towards black, although the nuances of color will be different for each knife. So it's sure to be one of a kind.

The L'Alsacien folding knife, with its 10cm size, is compact and lightweight, so you'll have no excuse not to take it with you on your hikes!
