It brings together the nobility of time-honoured materials with the performance of modern knifemaking, giving the hunter a precise, manageable tool to process game in the field with full confidence. Its ergonomics are designed so the knife feels like an extension of the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDefining features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile drop-point blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e the generous belly favours sweeping cuts and skinning tasks, while the tip keeps the strength needed to pierce without fear of breakage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReliable back-lock:\u003c\/strong\u003e the back-lock closing mechanism holds the blade firmly in place and prevents accidental closing while you work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanyard pin:\u003c\/strong\u003e set at the rear, it accepts a lanyard to keep the knife secure and avoid losing it in the undergrowth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSteel and edge performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdge retention defines the character of any hunting folding knife, and here the Galatea delivers. The blade, with a satin finish, is built from the proven \u003cstrong\u003eBohler N690Co\u003c\/strong\u003e stainless steel, whose heat treatment reaches a professional hardness of 60\/61 HRc. The result is prolonged cutting through hide and meat with little need for resharpening, along with notable corrosion resistance. Because of this high hardness, the recommended way to restore the bite in camp is to use diamond plates or a professional sharpener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction and durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe structure rests on a solid brass pin anchoring. With a blade thickness of 2.7 mm and a contained weight of just 135 grams, the knife is agile without sacrificing firmness, ideal for cutting and general field-dressing work. Use it sensibly: like any folding knife, it should not be subjected to extreme prying on bones or very hard joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandle and control in real conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cold of dawn and the damp of the field call for a grip that will not fail. The scales are crafted in \u003cstrong\u003enatural satin-finished olive wood\u003c\/strong\u003e, a timber with unique grain that adds a warm, pleasant feel. Its anatomical profile fits the palm, reduces fatigue and lets you apply force comfortably even when your hands are soiled while processing the animal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVersions and portability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Galatea is offered in two references:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e325-L:\u003c\/strong\u003e the sheathless option, intended for those who prefer to carry it loose in the pocket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e325-LF:\u003c\/strong\u003e the reference that adds a premium brown leather sheath (\u003cstrong\u003e603-C\u003c\/strong\u003e) made by Cudeman in Albacete.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUse cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e the drop-point blade separates the hide with long, controlled strokes without damaging the meat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eField dressing and initial cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e firm, deep cuts to gut and prepare freshly taken game out in the field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe hunters' picnic board:\u003c\/strong\u003e an elegant, hygienic piece for slicing cured meats during a meal out in the field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the knife by hand after each outing, removing organic fluids and dirt from the pivot and the lock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry the whole knife thoroughly with a cotton cloth to prevent moisture from condensing inside the liners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a tiny drop of gun or fine-machinery oil to the pivot, so that opening and the back-lock stay smooth and quick.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs it carries natural olive wood scales, it is worth nourishing the wood now and then with a very light coat of natural oil (linseed or olive) to protect the grain against temperature changes and bring out the figure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintain the edge with regular passes on a strop, preventing it from losing geometry and forcing a remedial abrasive sharpening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCudeman Galatea (325-L)\u003c\/strong\u003e combines capable steel with the knifemaking tradition of Albacete, a companion built not to fail in the field.
