Knife blades lose their sharpness with use, especially the carbon steel blades. A dull knife blade will not only be useless, but can also be more likely to slide off its cutting surface onto a finger or hand! That is why it is important to have the right tool to keep your knife edge sharpened. And ‘knife steel’ is the correct tool for safely sharpening any knife blade. Find yours by clicking here
Note: Materials used for stag horn knife handles are typically ‘antler sheds’ found in the wild. Each antlered handle has its own pattern and distinguished look. Stag antlers make an excellent material for knife handles, it is durable with its rugged and attractive uniqueness. Most of the stag horn used for knife making in Argentina is typically from the Southern mountainous region. For example, antlered reindeer.
