Lobo is a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing if the wolf was trying to sneak into the produce section. While at first glance it looks like a butcher's cleaver, Lobo is more suited for dicing veggies than chopping bones.
It is most similar to our Noa Nakiri Knife but features a taller blade for added clearance and a slightly more curved blade towards the angled nose.
Handle:
This model features a Guayubira base with a lighter Ash separator. Guayubira is native to the triple-border region of Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. It is known for its distinguished chocolate color with streaks of yellowish-white. Other available handles include Purple Heart and Olive.
Blade:
The blade is made of 420 MOV Stainless Steel, which is one of the most widely used knife-making in the world. Please note, that most of our other knives use Sandvik, which is a more premium option. 420 is of a very respectable quality, and will get just as sharp as other blades, and allows us to try out a more accessible price point.
Tang: Hidden
Length (Blade/Full Knife): 6in / 11in
Thickness: 0.1in
Case: Heavy Duck Canvas
Important: the blades are made semi-artisanally, and each has unique speckling and accent marks left over from the tempering process. This is an intentional aesthetic choice. Each blade and handle is different, as the vetting of the wood is unique to each tree. What you receive will not be exactly what you see in the product photography.
- We use a 2.0mm 14C28N Sandvik for our small and mid-sized knives (Pampa, Noa, Enojito and Sting). The Rockwell hardness from the last test was 62.
- We use a 2.5mm 12C27 Sandvik for our heftier blades (Furia, Pez, Pan, and Chiquito). The Rockwell hardness from the last test was 59.
- All blades are hand-sharpened, but we aim for a sharpening angle of 18 to 19 degrees.
- Hand-wash only. Dry off after washing.
- Do not use on surfaces that are harder than the blade itself.
