Carbon steel

In the course of time, this steel will oxidise and take on a greyish patina. Its advantage is that it can be easily sharpened, which is important when choosing a day-to-day knife. Be careful: it is more demanding to maintain carbon steels than stainless steels.

It is compulsory to clean the blade after using it. It can be cleaned under water but it needs to be dried immediately after, and put away from humidity. If you do not use your knife frequently, remember to oil the blade before putting the knife in a dry place.

Olive wood

The olive wood that the Ceccaldi company uses is dry and healthy. It has a fair, moderately intense colour, with brown veins. It will form a patina over time. To maintain olive wood, it is crucial not to plunge the handle into water. It is also necessary to oil the handle, once or twice a year, with camellia or olive oil for instance.

Coming from the Corsican agro-pastoral tradition, the shepherd knife is intended for daily use, its blade in damask steel allows an easy sharpening and guaranteed a traditional appearance for this knife with an assertive character. The curved shape comes directly from the tip of the horn in which the handle is cut. The particular shape of this blade is linked to the use by the Corsican shepherds of this knife as a daily tool, serving as well to cut the charcuterie as to carve wood or even to peel the wicker. The closing mechanism is simple, an axis and a stop, on which the cutlery Ceccaldi holds a patent allowing the blade to be held in open position, this is not a notch strictly speaking but it allows to secure a little more this knife
