MAIN »German Line« Folding Knife, Drop Point, Olive Wood

Description

The German Line series embodies virtues such as reliability and craftsmanship with clean lines and a simple elegance. These virtues are reflected in the durability and functionality of these knives, making them reliable companions in everyday situations. The reverse liner lock ensures safe use by preventing accidental closure. The blade, made from 440 steel at 57 HRC, offers reliable cutting performance and is easy to resharpen. Rustproof — which simplifies maintenance considerably.

Choose from three handle materials: elegant black pakka wood, fine ebony or warm olive wood. All woods are specially treated to prevent moisture absorption and are finished by hand polishing. The high-quality materials not only give the knife an elegant appearance but also make it robust and durable.

The choice between drop point and sheep foot blade shapes depends on individual preferences and the intended use: drop point blades offer a sturdy tip and are ideal for general cutting tasks and outdoor activities, while sheep foot blades are excellent for occasional gardening tasks. However, this blade type is also suitable for all other everyday tasks.
MAIN Knives are essential everyday companions, offering good quality and functionality as EDC items.
Whether on the go, in the workshop, on a hike, travelling, or camping. A MAIN folding knife is your reliable companion for a variety of everyday tasks.
Traditional Damascus Blades and Blanks
These beautifully crafted blades made of 192-layered Damascus steel come from the Indus Valley. For excellent performance, low-alloy carbon steel 1095 and nickel steel 15N20 are fire-welded. The blades are etched and hardened to 60 HRC but not completely sharpened. You just add the handle scales and sharpen the blade. Handmade, so there may be slight dimensional deviations. Not rustproof.
