Hippekniep mittel Eisbuche
Ich habe bereits 6 hochwertige Taschenmesser,mit Stahlsorten wie Magnacut und anderen. Aber etwas fehlt. In Anlehnung an meine "Zöppken" mit Carbonstahl, suchte ich ein Taschenmesser mit diesem Stahl. Bei Otter wurde ich fündig. In dem kleinen Verkaufsraum fühlt man sich gleich wie zu Hause. Man spürt förmlich die Handarbeit dieser Artikel. Als ich das Hippekniep in die Hand nahm, fühlt es sich an,als wenn ich die Hand,einer meiner Enkel in die meine nehme. Ein Gefühl von Zuneigung und Wärme. Ich habe "mein" Messer gefunden.

Handwerk vom Feinsten.
Habe heute zwei Hippeknieps erhalten. Mit Micarta Schalen und mit Eisbuche.
Das Micarta ist griffig, aber der Stoff ist versiegelt. Habe ich lieber als das "offene" Micarta, dass dann doch ziemlich unhygienisch ist.
Die Schalen aus Eisbuche haben eine sehr interessante Zeichnung, gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut.
Habe das Holz noch mit Jojobaöl behandelt, die Maserung ist jetzt noch intensiver und die Schalen besser geschützt.
Habe vorhin schon mit einem Zwiebel in feinste Würfel geschnitten..."Schneidteufel".
Im Prinzip ist es so schnittfreudig wie ein Opinel.
Die Klinge allerdings etwas stärker (in der Mitte ca 2,1mm), und das Messer natürlich insgesamt stabiler.
Fazit: Ein absoluter Schneidteufel mit sehr akkurater Verarbeitung.

Belgian whetstones are used for sharpening the knives. These whetstones consist of a natural stone quarried from the Belgian Ardennes mountains. Their unique consistency makes it possible for us to grind the blades with precision and in a material-friendly way. The lighter layer is used for grinding, the slate layer on the bottom is simply to make the sharpening stone stronger. The Belgian whetstones must be wet before honing. Set the blade onto the stone at a sharp angle and pull it back in circular motions. A natural abrasive paste develops in this process, which sharpens the blade and polishes it finely at the same time. The Belgian whetstone no. 4 is the smaller one of our whetstones.
