Detailed description
This model was made with reference to the large old folding knives for hunting made in Thiers in the 1950s and 60s. Because of their large proportions, they ended up being replaced by knives in more conventional sizes. Nonetheless, these models have a certain charm and they will attract fans of beautiful blades.
Ideal indoors and outdoors
A sizeable table companion, ready to carve a rib of beef, this XL Morta knife will also be an indispensable knife for (large) pockets on hikes, picnics, hunting or fishing trips, camping or other outdoor activities. Its Damascus blade in RWL34 – PMC37 gives it an aspect that is both elegant and generous.
Materials
Plain Morta handle or optionally embellished with three mammoth ivory inlays.
This way you get the unusual combination of two fossils in one knife handle. 10,000 years for the ivory and 5,000 years for the Morta.
You can also opt for a subtle blue border in vulcanized fibre. This border is discreet but it adds a little panache and modernity to a knife rooted in its terroir. Its Damascus blade in RWL34 – PMC37 ensures an excellent cutting edge. With 59 HRC hardness (approximately), this steel offers very good cutting power while being easy to sharpen. This Damascus steel from powder metallurgy is nonetheless stainless.
Any questions?
Can we visit the workshop ?
Yes. We gladly welcome you from Monday through Saturday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in September to June and to 7 p.m. in July and August.
You will discover our unfiltered work environment: noise, dust and good spirits. Nothing is staged or orchestrated. One of us will give you a presentation of the material, the extraction techniques and the different product models here.
What are the differences between the steels ?
With a bit of common sense and lots of love 😉
Avoid submerging your knife. For added safety, simply avoid the handle coming into contact with water, because like wood or horn, Morta is a natural material that does not like water.
You can rub a little beeswax over the handle to brighten up its colour subtleties. Place a drop of oil in the mechanism if necessary. But generally speaking, normal use requires nothing in particular in terms of care.
