Born from a collaboration with \u003cstrong\u003eCharles, of Opus Knives\u003c\/strong\u003e, it was first unveiled at the \u003cstrong\u003e2020 Ibercut Fair\u003c\/strong\u003e and, after every detail had been fine-tuned, went on sale roughly four years later. Today it stands alongside the \u003cstrong\u003ePyrana\u003c\/strong\u003e model at the head of the brand's most daring line. More than a simple tool, it is a design statement for anyone after something truly different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe detail that makes it historic: it marked the \u003cstrong\u003edebut of Juma in the Cudeman catalogue\u003c\/strong\u003e. Here it appears in a deep \u003cstrong\u003egreen\u003c\/strong\u003e whose pattern recalls the scaly skin of a reptile, hence its name. This is a \u003cstrong\u003efull-tang\u003c\/strong\u003e knife, perfectly capable of real work, although its ideal home is the display cabinet of a collector of singular pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA brand milestone:\u003c\/strong\u003e the first Cudeman knife with \u003cstrong\u003eJuma\u003c\/strong\u003e scales, a synthetic with a one-of-a-kind pattern and tremendous durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner signature:\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003eOpus Knives\u003c\/strong\u003e behind it, it boasts a carefully shaped handle and a flowing profile where cutting performance and aesthetics go hand in hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSure thumb grip:\u003c\/strong\u003e the spine features jimping that helps you rest your thumb and confidently control its 5 mm thickness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA matching set:\u003c\/strong\u003e it comes with a black leather sheath finished with green stitching, in keeping with the handle colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe steel and its cut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries a \u003cstrong\u003eBohler N-695\u003c\/strong\u003e blade, a high-end steel taken to 59\/60 HRc that holds its edge for a long time and easily resists corrosion, keeping its satin finish intact. With a \u003cstrong\u003e16 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e blade and a flat grind, it cuts with a smoothness that is surprising for a piece also meant to be displayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild and durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts \u003cstrong\u003e5 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e spine and one-piece construction make the \u003cstrong\u003eKaiman\u003c\/strong\u003e a practically unbreakable knife. The scales are secured with flat aluminium rivets that leave a clean finish, and the black spacers play off the green of the Juma. The blade ends in a drop-point tip, which adds strength to handle demanding tasks without flinching. Overall it measures \u003cstrong\u003e28 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe handle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond turning heads, the \u003cstrong\u003egreen Juma\u003c\/strong\u003e handle offers a firm, comfortable grip. We are talking about a very stable material: neither cold, heat nor humidity alters it, so it keeps its colour and texture over time. The handle fills the hand nicely and includes a lanyard hole, in case you want to add a matching lanyard for extra grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sheath\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheath is cut and stitched in the \u003cstrong\u003eCudeman\u003c\/strong\u003e workshops in Albacete, in good-quality black leather with green stitching that rounds off the set.
