The IBEX 100 Windmühlenmesser: A traditional pocket knife revisited
The Windmühlenmesser IBEX 100 is a traditional pocket knife designed for outdoor activities. This model stands out for its sturdiness and simplicity, while remaining true to the brand's values of durability and handcrafted quality.
Its sheepfoot-style blade, made of chromium-molybdenum-vanadium stainless steel, is exceptionally resistant. It has a Rockwell hardness of around 57HRC, a good compromise between hardness and flexibility, ideal for regular use.
The handle of the IBEX 100 pocket knife is made of plum wood from old fruit farms. This choice of material gives each knife a unique touch. The natural wood is not only elegant, but also pleasant to hold- an important detail for prolonged use. To ensure longevity, we recommend regular oiling with Herder wood oil.
Safety and practicality
The IBEX 100 folding knife features a simple, secure locking mechanism with a ring lock, guaranteeing ease of use in all circumstances. Whether you're hiking, camping or just out in the garden, this knife is designed to meet your needs. The safetyring also lets you attach the knife to a lanyard or directly to your backpack. Practical, isn't it?
To open the tool, you can use the nail notch on the blade.
This knife is handcrafted in Solingen, the cradle of German cutlery.
Care instructions: Avoid the dishwasher, which could damage the blade and handle. Oil the handle regularly to maintain its shine and durability. Use a soft cutting surface, such as a wooden board, to protect the blade.
