Material and style

  • Rectangular "Art Deco" style handle sheathed in green-dyed Stingray skin, its most classic version. During the dyeing process, each skin absorbs the color differently, thus offering a color chart of the same green that signs the authenticity and beauty of this exceptional collection.
  • Ferrule, in silvered bronze, adorned with 4 balls, obtained by the technique of lost wax casting (as used in the art of jewelry and sculpture for the finesse of its details).
  • Ferrule silver plated at 33 microns. This weight of silver authorizes the use of the "Poinçon Carré". Quality 1.
  • Knife blade in forged and tempered steel treated "mirror polished".

Care

As with all leathers, the immersion of the sleeves in water is strongly discouraged and would cause detachment. No dishwasher.
