Ötzi Knife

In 1991, a glacier mummy was discovered in South Tyrol. Received as a sensation, the mummy was lovingly named "Ötzi" and proved to be a treasure trove for archaeologists and early history researchers. At the time of his demise, the Neolithic hunter had a knife in his kit, consisting of a flint blade and a wooden handle. Inspired by this knife, designer Joe Fowlers created the Condor Ötzi Knife with a contoured, rough-forged 1095 carbon steel blade and a wooden handle twice wrapped with brass wire. A knife like a hand axe - not big, but robust and reduced to essentials, hailing from a time when a knife was still an essential tool for day-to-day survival. A handmade leather sheath is the perfect accompaniment for this archaic and unique cutting tool.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
