Among the most exclusive knife manufacturers in the world we find Nenox from Tokyo. The knife here is a 15 cm utility in western style with a fabulous edge and a beautiful handle in one of the absolute most expensive types of wood there is - Desert Ironwood knotwood from Arizona.
The steel the knife is made of is stainless, and Nenox does not disclose anything about its composition. Certain manufacturers understandably do not want to reveal all secrets, but we can reveal that this is steel in an absolutely special class.
When you hold this knife, you get the feeling of standing with a nice piece of tool. The knife is not only good, but also a masterpiece in its execution. The wood of which the stock is made is Desert Ironwood knot (olneya tesota) from southern Arizona. It is a very expensive and hard type of wood in line with ebony, which is therefore not susceptible, very susceptible to water, oil - or dirt in general. This also means that you can count on a knife that keeps its appearance.
The knife is a Petty and is used for smaller tasks. Polishing meat, arranging vegetables, and finesse work where you have to get close to the subject.
