Cudeman Mikra (335-L): The essence of the Mediterranean in an ultra-compact format
In everyday life, the best tool is the one you can always carry with you without it being a burden. The Cudeman Mikra in its olive wood version has been designed with this premise in mind, offering surprising cutting capability in a piece that barely weighs 45 grams. Manufactured entirely in Albacete, this model is the definitive solution for those seeking a discreet, extremely lightweight knife with the mechanical safety of a larger piece.
Why this Cudeman is right for you
- Absolute portability: At only 15 cm total length, it disappears into your pocket, making it ideal as an everyday carry (EDC) tool.
- Guaranteed safety: Unlike other knives of its size, it incorporates a back-lock system that firmly secures the blade during cutting.
- Technical precision: Its clip-point tip and 2.0 mm blade allow for meticulous cuts with exceptional control and feel.
- Warmth and tradition: The use of natural olive wood provides a classic and organic aesthetic that makes each piece unique.
Steel and edge performance
The Mikra's blade is made of molybdenum vanadium steel, an alloy known for its great toughness and resistance to environmental corrosion. With a hardness of 54/56 HRc, this steel offers a masterful balance for everyday use: it maintains a functional edge for a long time and, above all, allows for extremely easy resharpening. It is the perfect choice for those who need a tool that is always ready with minimal and effective maintenance.
Construction and resistance
Despite its contained dimensions, the structure of the Cudeman Mikra is surprisingly robust. The handle is anchored by brass liners, ensuring a solid union between the scales and the chassis. The satin finish of the blade not only gives it a professional aesthetic but also helps protect the surface from daily use marks. It is a precision tool designed to last, although due to its 2.0 mm thickness, any lateral force or use as a lever should be avoided.
Handle and control in real conditions
The satin-finished natural olive wood handle provides an organic and warm grip that only Mediterranean woods can offer. Its 8.5 cm length has been ergonomically contoured to allow firm finger support, ensuring absolute control over the tip. Olive wood is dense and pleasant to the touch, ensuring that the knife is comfortable and safe even during repetitive cutting tasks.
Sheath and portability
Such a light and nimble piece can be perfectly carried in your pocket, or if you choose, you can carry it in its sheath hanging from your belt. We offer two options:
- 335-L: Knife only, without sheath
- 335-LF: Knife with brown custom-made sheath (sheath 635-C)
Use scenarios
- Everyday utility (EDC): Perfect for solving any daily cutting need, from opening mail to auxiliary household tasks.
- Precision cutting: Its stylized tip is ideal for meticulous work requiring total tool control.
- Picnics and outdoor excursions: A light and effective companion for processing food or making clean cuts during outdoor activities.
Care and maintenance
- As it is made of natural olive wood, it is recommended to store the piece in a dry place and never wet it under the tap.
- After each use, clean the blade with a soft cloth to remove moisture or organic acid residues, keeping the satin finish impeccable.
- Periodically apply a drop of light oil to the pivot and the back-lock mechanism to ensure that deployment is always smooth and precise.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat sources to preserve the natural hydration and characteristic tone of the olive wood.
The Cudeman Mikra (335-L) in olive wood is proof that true power does not lie in size, but in the quality of the fit and semi-handcrafted manufacturing; a reliable tool made to always accompany you.
