Designed as a simple and rustic tool knife, it fits into the tradition of everyday objects, those that would naturally find their place in the pocket of a Basque shepherd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough its design, the MINI HANDIA claims a strong Japanese inspiration. It notably takes the blade tip from the famous \u003cstrong\u003eHigonokami\u003c\/strong\u003e, a classic of Japanese cutlery, recognized for the purity of its line and the effectiveness of its edge. This influence blends with the Basque spirit to give birth to a compact, authentic, and unadorned knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigins and Spirit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MINI HANDIA is designed as a functional, robust, and honest pocket knife. Its reduced size does not detract from its assertive character. It embodies a rustic vision of cutlery, where efficiency takes precedence over ornamentation, and where every choice of material has meaning. It is a knife designed to last, to develop a patina, and to live with its user.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade of the MINI HANDIA is made of \u003cstrong\u003eraw carbon steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, an obvious choice for this model.

Over time and with use, the blade evolves and naturally develops a patina, making each knife unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanism is a \u003cstrong\u003etraditional back lock\u003c\/strong\u003e, simple, reliable, and perfectly suited for a knife of this type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandle and Materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is dressed in \u003cstrong\u003escarified quince wood.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScarified Quince Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe scarified quince reveals all the nobility of this dense and vibrant wood.
