The HARTKOPF Model 098 (1-piece) is a classic Solingen pocket knife for anyone who values clean design, reliable function and natural materials. The handle is made from genuine stag horn, making each knife unique in look and feel.
The main blade is ground in the hechtspitz profile, also known as clip point, and made from stainless 1.4034 steel with a hardness of 56 Rockwell. Polished nickel silver bolsters and shield, brass liners and traditional nail nick opening complete the construction.
A small note for nature lovers: only reindeer carry antlers in both sexes, and among all animals, the antlers of the wapiti (a type of red deer) are famous for their rapid growth, reaching up to 2.8 cm per day. This knife does not grow on its own, but it will age beautifully if treated with care.
Handmade in Germany, Solingen. Order from the specialist retailer Messer Rödter, family business since 1909.
