The Windmühlenmesser IBEX 100 is a traditional pocket knife designed to accompany your outdoor activities. It features a simple, robust design.
Its sheepfoot-profile blade is made of chrome-molybdenum-vanadium stainless steel, a material that guarantees high strength. With a Rockwell hardness of around 57HRC, it offers a good balance between flexibility and hardness.
The handle is made of thermo beech, giving each knife a unique character. Thermo beech is a type of wood that has undergone a specific heat treatment. This treatment involves heating the wood to very high temperatures, generally over 200°C, in a controlled environment in terms of humidity and oxygen. The result is a wood that is more resistant to mold and insects, making it ideal for use outdoors or in damp environments.
Natural wood also offers a comfortable grip, even during prolonged use. To preserve its beauty, we recommend maintaining it with Herder wood oil.
As for opening the knife, it unfolds easily using the nail notch on the blade. The locking mechanism is simple and reliable, with a notch secured by a ring. Whether you're camping or tinkering in the garden, this knife will be a great help. The handy ring also makes it easy to attach the tool to a lanyard or your backpack for safe transportation.
The Ibex 100 pocket knife is handcrafted in Solingen, Germany's cutlery capital.
Care instructions: do not put the knife in the dishwasher, as this could damage the blade and handle. Regularly oiling the handle will preserve its longevity and beauty. Preferably use a wooden board to protect the blade when cutting.
