Cudeman Facochero 105-L: Elegance and Power in Natural Olive Wood
The Cudeman Facochero 105-L stands as a pillar of confidence for the hunter who values the warmth of noble materials without sacrificing an ounce of effectiveness. This finishing knife, with its imposing 23 cm of MoVa steel, is designed to resolve the hunt with undeniable authority. The combination of its spear point and its robust, full-tang structure makes it an essential piece for driven hunts, offering a firm and balanced response at the moment of truth.
Why this Cudeman is right for you
- Deep thrust geometry: Its sharp, pointed dagger point allows for effortless penetration during the finish.
- Full Tang mechanical strength: As a full-tang knife with a thickness of 4.8 mm, power transmission is complete from tip to pommel, guaranteeing a vibration-free and strong tool.
- Steel protection: The satin-finished 420 stainless steel guard ensures your hand always remains safe from the blade, even under extreme conditions of humidity or fatigue.
- Agility in the hunt: The longitudinal fuller on the blade optimizes the balance of its 400 g, allowing for quick and safe movement transitions.
Steel and edge performance
Forged from Molybdenum Vanadium steel with a hardness of 54/56 HRc, the Facochero offers exceptional toughness. This steel is ideal for contact with mountain humidity thanks to its oxidation resistance. Its satin finish facilitates maintenance and offers an aggressive and durable cut, while also being a steel that allows for easy edge recovery with conventional sharpening tools.
Construction and resistance
The architecture of the Cudeman Facochero prioritizes absolute reliability. Its 4.8 mm thickness gives it massive rigidity, necessary to withstand the pressure of the finish. Although its robustness is extreme for cutting and piercing, its dagger point design is optimized for hunting effectiveness; therefore, it is recommended to avoid using it as a heavy side lever to protect the symmetry of its high-penetration point.
Handle and control in real conditions
The handle is made of natural olive wood, a material that not only provides a classic and Mediterranean aesthetic but also an organic grip that adapts perfectly to the hand. The flat aluminum rivets permanently secure the scales, ensuring that ergonomics remain intact after years of use. It also includes a lanyard hole, vital for securing the tool to the wrist during your driven hunts.
Sheath and portability
This model comes with a high-quality, self-made brown leather sheath, designed for secure belt carry. The sheath protects the steel from atmospheric elements and ensures that the dagger point remains guarded, allowing for quick and silent extraction when silence at the stand is paramount.
Use scenarios
- Big game finishing: Designed to offer a definitive solution in direct contact with the animal.
- Tradition and heritage: Ideal for the hunter who prefers the warmth and unique grain of olive wood in their field tools.
- Professional use in hunting packs: A tireless companion that withstands rough handling and constant rubbing against brush.
Care and maintenance
- Clean the blade after each use to remove organic residue and prevent oxidation stains.
- Occasionally moisturize the olive wood with linseed oil or natural waxes to maintain its elasticity and shine.
- Dry the piece thoroughly before inserting it into the leather sheath to prevent moisture condensation.
- Always keep the dagger point sharp using fine-grit stones so as not to compromise its penetration capability.
The Cudeman Facochero 105-L combines the nobility of olive wood with the strength of full-tang Albacete steel. It is a reliable, balanced tool, born to last on the belt of the most demanding hunters.
