Description

This is a special ignife edition. Inspired by the Camino de Santiago that leads to Santiago de Compostela, the colour scheme of this pocket knife is based on the famous scallop shell that marks the route. The blue spiral represents the way and the yellow the arrival. Ignife has used a white cord that glows in the dark for real, metaphorical illumination!

Equipped with a 420 stainless steel blade and a beechwood handle hand-painted in Viana do Castelo. It also has a practical 550 paracord lanyard to make it easy to take out of your pocket or rucksack!

A particularly precise blade: Sheepfoot

This blade doesn't have a belly, but it does have a straight lower edge. The back of the blade, on the other hand, is slightly rounded, like the belly of a blade. The tip of this blade shape is located at the end of the straight edge. The fact that the tip is drawn so far down means that this blade shape can be used for particularly precise cuts. This blade is often used for sailor's knives.

 

ignife - Outdoor with a Portuguese heart and soul

ignife is a Portuguese brand based in Viana do Castelo that combines functional outdoor equipment with careful craftsmanship and a creative approach. Each product is created in a process characterised by inspiration from nature, traditional craftsmanship and modern ideas.

With its roots in Portugal and a wider world view, ignife is aimed at people who see the outdoors as a way of life - ignife means the outdoors with soul.

Tradition from the north of Portugal: Martins Palaçoulo knives

Martins Palaçoulo knives are the epitome of genuine Portuguese craftsmanship - robust, functional and with decades of tradition. The family business was founded in the 1950s and is based in the village of the same name, Palaçoulo, in the Trás-os-Montes region - a centre of traditional knife making in Portugal. The knowledge passed down from generation to generation, the quality of the materials and the connection to nature characterise each piece. Whether in the forest, hunting or on a hike: these knives are made for life outdoors - and for people who value authentic quality.

Additional information
Blade material

420 stainless steel

420 is a popular stainless steel for knives that is particularly impressive due to its good corrosion resistance and easy maintenance. It contains around 13% of chromium, which makes it stainless, and it is relatively soft (approx. 52-55 HRC) compared to higher quality types of steel. This makes it very easy to sharpen, but it doesn't retain its sharpness for as long.

Uma faca ou bainha compatível com um pedra de fogo oferece uma vantagem prática para bushcraft, trekking e sobrevivência. O requisito é geralmente um dorso da lâmina afiado em ângulo reto, com o qual é possível produzir faíscas de forma confiável. Alguns modelos também têm um suporte integrado, para que o pedra de fogo esteja sempre à mão. O resultado é um sistema bem pensado, com o qual é possível acender fogo de forma rápida e fiável, mesmo em condições difíceis – sem isqueiro ou fósforos!
