Handle scales made of desert ironwood. Due to its slow growth, desert ironwood from the Arizona desert is one of the hardest and densest wood types. It has a beautiful gold-brown colour with dark streaks. Due to its high density it is extremely resistant to moisture. Comes with a pouch made of ecologically tanned cowhide. Inspired by a knife from the 17th century, Perceval developed the model »Le Français«. The powder-metallurgically produced Damasteel Damascus steel blade has a splendid twisted Damascus structure. A smooth liner lock mechanism makes sure the blade is securely locked. The handle back has an open design and thus accentuates the puristic style. Hardness 57 HRC, rustproof.
