A Heritage Piece

• Handmade Excellence: Every element — from the grinding of the blade to the fitting of the horn — is performed by skilled artisans.
• Compact Utility: Its "small" size makes it ideal for sophisticated pocket carry or as a traditional personal dining knife.
• Natural Variations: Bull horn is a natural material — each knife carries its own distinct colors and patterns, making your piece one-of-a-kind.

Collector's Note: To preserve the natural bull horn handle, avoid extreme heat and prolonged moisture. Hand wash the blade only and dry immediately. A light application of wax or oil on the horn will maintain its deep, natural luster for decades.
