Cudeman Cazorla in olive wood: a hunting folding knife with Mediterranean character
The Cudeman Cazorla with olive wood scales is built for the hunter who values a technical tool without giving up the warmth of a noble material. Its geometry is designed for fine control in the field, pairing a highly functional point with a low weight that makes it almost unnoticeable in your kit until the moment you reach for it. It is a light, elegant piece, made by Cudeman in Albacete, equally at home on hunting days and in everyday use.
Reasons to choose it
- Clip-point blade: a precise stroke and excellent control for skinning and delicate tasks.
- Liner lock: the liner lock holds the blade firmly and lets you open and close it comfortably and safely.
- Just 80 grams: a contained weight you will appreciate on long stalks, where every gram counts.
- Natural olive wood: as a living wood, each example shows a different grain and a character all its own.
Steel and edge performance
The blade is forged in Sandvik 12c27 steel, a classic of European knifemaking prized for its purity and stability. Hardened to 59/60 HRc, it offers very good edge retention and outstanding corrosion resistance. The result is a clean, biting cut along with easy resharpening that keeps the knife always ready after processing your game.
Construction and strength
The structure is solid, anchored by a brass pin. With a blade thickness of 2.5 mm, it provides the flexibility that field work demands without losing sturdiness. Despite being robust for this category, it is designed to cut and skin, so it is best not to subject it to lateral prying loads that would strain the locking system.
Handle and control in real use
The satin-finished natural olive wood scales provide a warm, organic grip, typical of Mediterranean woods. At 10.5 cm in length, the handle lets you rest your whole hand on it and reduces fatigue during repeated movements. The satin finish brings out the grain of the wood and also improves the feel and direction of the cut, even in damp conditions or when your hands are dirty during the hunt.
Sheath and carry
As an optional accessory there is a brown leather sheath with reference 605-C. It is a handcrafted leather sheath bearing Cudeman's signature: the high-density leather offers a snug, silent fit, protects the knife from knocks and allows quick access from the belt.
What it is for
- Small game and dressing: the slender point works cleanly on small and medium game.
- Field tasks: it handles any cut that comes up while waiting or stalking, from preparing gear to cutting food.
- Everyday carry with style: light and eye-catching, it deals with everyday surprises with the competence of a professional tool.
Care and maintenance
- Because it is natural olive wood, store it in a dry place and never run it under the tap.
- After each use, wipe the blade with a soft cloth to remove moisture or organic acids that could dull the satin finish.
- From time to time, put a drop of light oil on the pivot and the liner lock mechanism to keep the action smooth.
- Avoid prolonged extreme heat to preserve the tone and integrity of the olive wood.
All in all, the Cudeman Cazorla in olive wood balances knifemaking tradition with the demands of the field in a reliable, long-lasting tool. Available at Navajeria with shipping across mainland Spain.
