This AAKnives Prestige “Wenge” knife combines Nordic restraint with the character of exotic materials. High-quality Swedish knife steel, Latvian elk antler, African wenge, and the craftsman’s handiwork come together to create a knife in which each material tells its own story.
Sandvik 12C27 — a proven Swedish knife steel
The blade is made of 12C27 stainless steel —a steel specifically developed for high-quality cutting tools and knives.
12C27 is highly regarded for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. Its fine grain structure allows for a very clean and sharp cutting edge, while maintaining good durability for everyday and outdoor use.
It is particularly well-suited for a knife that must be not only beautiful but also a fully functional tool.
Latvian elk antler and African wenge
The light-colored part of the handle is made from Latvian elk antler. Its natural texture, color variations, and subtle characteristics of the material give each knife its own unique character.
This is complemented by wenge —a dark African hardwood that stands out for its very distinctive, contrasting grain pattern. Wenge is a dense and durable wood, and its dark tones create an elegant contrast with the light-colored moose antler.
It is precisely the combination of these two materials that gives this knife its distinctive Prestige character— Latvia’s wild nature meets exotic African hardwood.
Exclusive leather wallet
The set includes a thick natural leather sheath, which is handmade and finished by hand. Its sturdy construction, leather fasteners, and decorative details are designed so that the sheath is not only practical but also complements the knife’s design organically.
Handcrafted — each knife is unique
The knife and its leather sheath are handmade. Natural elk antler and wenge wood are never exactly alike, so each knife has its own grain pattern, color, and unique character.
Included: a 12C27 stainless steel blade, a handle made of Latvian elk antler and wenge wood, decorative accents, and an exclusive sheath made of thick natural leather.
Latvian nature, an exotic wood, and a master craftsman’s handiwork come together in one unique knife.
