Cudeman Safari 116-K: the Safari with a cocobolo wood handle

Of the three Safari versions, the 116-K is the warmest. The handle is cocobolo, a dense, oily tropical wood with a strong grain, so no two are alike: each handle has its own pattern and tone, between orange and dark red, that deepens with use.

Under the wood is the same compact hunting knife: 9 cm blade, drop point and full tang. A model we no longer make.

Why cocobolo

One of the most prized woods in knife making. Its natural oil protects it from water far better than most woods, it is very hard and its weight balances the knife nicely. Smooth to the touch but not slippery.

Quick specs

  • Steel: MoVa 1.4116 stainless (molybdenum-vanadium), 54/56 HRc, satin.

Caring for the wood

  • Always dry it after use; never soak it or put it in the dishwasher.
  • A few drops of linseed or knife oil now and then bring back the shine.

For hunters who want a working knife with a traditional look, and for Cudeman collectors after the wooden Safari before it's gone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Popular questions from our customers


  • All Cudeman products are designed and manufactured entirely in Albacete, Spain. The brand has over 38 years of experience, combining the traditional craftsmanship of Albacete cutlery with the latest technologies (such as laser cutting and CNC machining). When you buy a Cudeman, you are acquiring a product with a designation of origin that guarantees quality and expertise.

  • 1. Premium Steels: Böhler N695 / N690Co

    These are the benchmark steels in our high-end range. Böhler is synonymous with Austrian purity and technology.

    • Properties: High hardness (58/61 HRC), excellent corrosion resistance, and superior edge retention thanks to its high chromium and cobalt content (in the case of N690Co).
    • Ideal use: Extreme survival and bushcraft knives (such as the famous MT series or the Boina Verde), designed to withstand intensive use without losing their edge.

    2. The Gold Standard: Molybdenum Vanadium (MoVa)

    The quintessential steel of Spanish cutlery, valued for its great structural balance.

    • Properties: Reaches a hardness of 54/56 HRC. Its greatest virtues are toughness (impact resistance) and ease of resharpening in the field, even with basic stones.
    • Ideal use: Hunting, finishing, and general-purpose knives. It is the all-terrain steel that never fails in hunting activities.

    3. Swedish Precision: Sandvik 12C27 / 14C28N

    Very fine-grained stainless steels produced in Sweden, ideal for those seeking a "laser" edge.

    • Properties: The 14C28N, in particular, offers a masterful balance between hardness (57/59 HRC) and corrosion resistance. It allows for very sharp edges that are resistant to micro-fractures.
    • Ideal use: High-end (EDC) folding knives, adventure cutlery, and pieces that require a clean and precise cut.

    4. Tactical Resistance: 420 Stainless Steel

    A very elastic steel resistant to external agents, used in specific high-impact pieces.

    • Properties: Lower hardness than the previous ones (50/53 HRC), which makes it extremely resistant to breakage under torsion or impact. It is virtually immune to oxidation.
    • Ideal use: Throwing knives, diving tools, and low-maintenance tactical cutlery.
  • A high-quality knife is a tool for life, but its longevity depends on maintenance, especially when combining technical steels with natural materials in the handles.

    1. Cleaning and Drying (Crucial for natural materials)

    • Hand washing: Clean the blade and handle with warm water and neutral soap. Never use the dishwasher, as extreme heat and chemical detergents are lethal for steel and wood.
    • Attention to porosity: If your Cudeman has wood, antler, or bone scales, avoid submerging them or leaving them to soak. These materials are porous; moisture can cause them to swell, crack, or separate from the knife's chassis.
    • Immediate drying: Dry the entire piece with a soft cloth immediately after washing. Make sure no moisture remains in the rivet area or joints.

    2. Lubrication and Protection

    • The Blade: If you are going to store the knife, apply a thin layer of mineral oil (or camellia oil) to the steel. This creates a hydrophobic barrier against environmental moisture, which is vital even for stainless steels.
    • The Handle: For natural wood handles, it is advisable to occasionally apply a little linseed oil or beeswax. This nourishes the material, seals the pores, and prevents it from drying out or accidentally absorbing water.

    3. Storage and Leather Sheaths

    • Leather is organic: Leather sheaths are hygroscopic (absorb moisture). Do not store the knife inside its sheath for extended periods of inactivity, as the leather's tanning and retained moisture can cause oxidation pitting on the steel.
    • Sheath maintenance: Hydrate the leather regularly with neatsfoot oil or specific creams. A flexible and nourished sheath better protects your tool and prevents the leather from cracking over time.

    Golden rule: A Cudeman knife is not damaged by use, but by neglect. Clean, dry, and store separately if you are not going to use it soon.

  • Cudeman offers a lifetime warranty against any manufacturing or material defects.

    Important note: The warranty does not cover natural wear and tear from use, nor damage caused by misuse of the tool (such as extreme batoning with models not designed for it, throwing the knife, or using it as a lever).
    Items made with natural materials (woods, antlers) or special resins (Juma) may show inherent differences in grain and color compared to the photographs. These aesthetic variations do not constitute a manufacturing defect and are therefore not covered by the warranty or eligible for return.
