Guayubirá Wood Hilt

About Guayubirá
Guayubirá is a tree found in Paraguay, the north of Argentina and parts of Brazil. Its wood has a very fine and homogeneous texture; the grain is straight to oblique, with deeply striated and creamy white to ochre heartwood.
Alpaca Finish
Alpaca is a zinc, copper and nickel alloy, also known as German silver or white metal. Its appearance is very similar to silver and it is maintained in a similar way.
Stainless Steel Blade
The 15 cm stainless steel blade is forged to remain unaltered for decades, given its hardness and metallic composition.
Leather Sheath
The knife comes with a leather sheath finished with alpaca, completing the piece with protection, presentation and traditional character.
