Windmühlenmesser Klappmesser Serie Ibex 120, Carbonstahl und Räuchereiche

Windmühlenmesser Ibex 120 Carbon Steel & Smoked Oak Knife

The Windmühlenmesser IBEX 120 is the extra-large (XL) model in the outdoor range from the German manufacturer Robert Herder. Its blade profile is inspired by a historical design originally created for the Hadhramaut region of southern Arabia. The traditional yet significantly improved locking mechanism holds the blade firmly in place, whether open or closed.

It features a high-quality, plain-edge blade made of 102Cr6 carbon steel (58-59 HRC hardness), offering razor-sharp performance and excellent edge retention. The blade features a "sheep's foot" profile. It utilizes a lock-back mechanism to secure the blade in the open position and can also be opened using a thumb stud.

The IBEX blade boasts structural stability thanks to its convex grind. It starts with a thickness of 2.5 mm; following the grinding and polishing (finishing) process, the spine tapers while the edge receives its final sharpening, optimized for exceptional durability and cutting performance.

Proper maintenance of the carbon steel blade is required to prevent oxidation and the formation of a grey patina; the blade should be wiped clean after every use.

Smoked oak handle. The smoked oak undergoes a specific heat treatment that gives it a dark color resembling ebony while simultaneously increasing its moisture resistance.

To close the knife, pull the small metal ring located on the back of the handle; this releases the blade, allowing it to close smoothly and safely without snapping shut on your fingers.
