The satin finish on the blade lends a certain sobriety and, at the same time, helps to hide the marks of use. That said, as this is a fine design devoted to cutting, it is best not to subject it to twisting or lateral prying, as the central pivot could suffer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrip and handling day to day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe red and yellow \u003cstrong\u003eMicarta\u003c\/strong\u003e handle does not only draw attention for its symbolism. This material stands out for withstanding the passage of time and for keeping a reliable grip even when your hands are slightly damp. Its simple, straight profile gives you full command over the tip of the blade, and its low weight, together with a balanced distribution of mass, helps avoid tiring the hand during repeated cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes in the Catalana family\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reference is the \u003cstrong\u003eCatalana S (445)\u003c\/strong\u003e, the most compact and easiest to carry variant in the range.
