Watchmaker's knife Palo Negro

Our goal was to find a watchmaker's knife that meets high quality and safety requirements while remaining affordable and looking classy. In cooperation with a Solingen blade smithy, we have now found a watchmaker's knife, from which our watchmakers are thrilled.

We have reviewed all the knives we have in our assortment and wanted to improve every detail.
The result was a watchmaker's blade made of high-performance steel 440A (instead of the steel 420 otherwise used in this area), which is much more robust, harder and more resistant to corrosion thanks to its higher carbon and chromium content. Of course, the 440 steel is stainless and can be sharpened without difficulty.

Unlike many other normal watchmaking knives, our model folds easily and safely. They are opened with the help of the nail house (notch in the blade) and fixed with the backlock mechanism (rocker lock) when working - only by pressing on the rear spring releases the lock and the knife can be folded back together.

The width of the 63mm short blades has been adjusted to a comfortable 18mm, so that with the thumb on the blade pressure can be exerted, without risking to slip, as is often the case with narrower blades (injury possible).

Our watchmakers are thrilled that they can easily hold this knife with one hand while holding the second hand, e.g. with a hammer can knock against the knife.

The watchmaker's knife is available in two variants:
With Cocobolo handles (also known as Rosewood or Palo Negro) and olive wood.

We are glad, if you are also enthusiastic about this piece of jewelery and find it in your workshop (or also in the spare time) application.
