Saddler's Knife 13 cm Don Carlos

The Saddler's Knife 13 cm Don Carlos by F. HERDER is a specialised cutting knife for leather work. Its characteristic obliquely sloping blade tip allows you to make long, even cuts through leather with a flat-set edge. This precision is crucial for producing clean edges on straps and cut-outs.

The straight-ground blade tapers to a sharp angle. This geometry provides you with a defined starting point when setting the blade and then guides the cut cleanly. The saddler's knife is ideal for professional saddlers, leather craftsmen, and hobbyists who value exact cuts and high-quality workmanship. It is perfectly suited for cutting leather pieces of various thicknesses and shapes.

The handle is made of walnut wood and features a brass bolster at the transition to the blade. The bolster permanently stabilises the connection and ensures durability. The natural wood feels comfortable in your hand even during prolonged work, providing you with a secure grip on the knife.

The blade bears the engraving Friedr. Herder Abr. Sohn, the origin mark SOLINGEN GERMANY, the spade symbol with the inscription PIKAS, and the series inscription Don Carlos. This saddler's knife is manufactured by F. HERDER in the traditional knife city of Solingen and stands for the quality standard that has distinguished the brand since 1727.

Clean your saddler's knife carefully after every use. Wipe the blade with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly to prevent rust forming. Keep the knife in a dry place. It is not suitable for the dishwasher. Sharpen the blade regularly with a suitable sharpening stone or strop to maintain optimal cutting performance. The walnut wood handle can be treated with a wood care oil when needed, to preserve its beauty and longevity.
