Detailed description
Conceived in collaboration with Erwan Balança, photographer/adventurer/globetrotter.
In September 2020, Erwan asked us to make what he considered the ideal knife for living outdoors.
As a man of nature, Erwan wanted a knife to cut branches, prepare his bivouac, cook, clean the fish he caught that day, etc. In short, he wanted the outdoor version of an all-purpose knife.
After several prototypes, corrections and improvements, the Trapper model was finally accomplished.
With a generous handle in Morta for an excellent grip, a short, sturdy blade for tough tasks in high grade stainless steel, the Trapper Morta knife will be your new playmate.
Its sheath in sturdy leather with vegetable tanning can be worn close to the body thanks to its strong loop, but for “lighter” wear you can use the belt fastener affixed to the sheath by a snap hook.
(the sheath is included in the price).
The steel chosen for this knife is a cobalt-enriched stainless steel (N690) with remarkable properties.
Beware however: This Trapper can also maintain a very close relationship with your platter of cooked or cured meat or cheese 😉
Leather cases made by Bourgeois & Cie.

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.
