Friction Folder ![A friction folder has a freely moving blade without any restraints or locking mechanisms. This knife features an extended tang to open the blade quickly and to keep the opened blade in place with the hand that holds the knife. This knife design has been used for centuries. Friction Folders are non-locking making them ideal for UK legal pocket knives. Friction folding knives are the original folding pocket knife. Before the invention of slipjoint and locking knives, all folding knives used the friction of the blade tang against the handle and the pressure of your hand to stay open. The absence of a lock means that these knives are best for light cutting tasks. Friction folders have also been known as "penny knives" but that's from many years in the past.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

115CrV3 Silver Steel (1.2210 Carbon Steel) ![Silver steel (1.2210) slightly alloyed high carbon tool steel. 1.2210 (115CrV3) is a cold work steel used for a wide range of applications. It has good machinability, offering high hardness and wear resistance it is widely used in general engineering. In order to achieve a hardness of approximately 61 HRC, the material is heated to over 1000 degrees celsius and then immediately quenched with a special oil. The subsequent tempering at about 200 degrees celsius gives the blade elasticity and toughness. While called silver steel it contains no silver but it’s called so due to its bright appearance. Similar in specification to 80CrV2 so good toughness and edge holding.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Ankole African Cow Horn ![Horns represent salvation and immortality as well, as the horn is extremely durable. Notions of protection and asylum are carried with the horn, and it also means the beginning to Egyptians and Jung. Madness and rage are often associated with the horn, especially from that of a charging animal. Ankole have strong herding and protection instincts. Adults bed down in a circle facing out with calves in the center. They were first domesticated in parts of Africa such as Uganda, Rwanda, and Kenya for thousands of years. These native cattle are adapted to survive several months when food and water are scarce. Cow horn is a particularly elegant material and is therefore ideally suited for forming the handle of the BERGISCHE LÖWEN. Each handle has an individual grain and distinct colour pattern. The African horn is shaped in an elaborate process to create this stylish handle. Finally, the unique piece is finely polished several times.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Dovo Solingen (Germany) ![For hundreds of years, this city in the west of Germany has been known as the knife capital. This dates back to the 14th century! The first official knife makers' guild from Solingen dates back to 1678. Over the years, Solingen knife makers have become some of the best in the world. Home to many heritage scissormakers, and perhaps better known worldwide for its knife industry, Solingen is affectionately known as der Klingenstadt, or the City of Blades. The town has been the center of Germany for knives, scissors, cutlery and razors since the Middle Ages and it's still going strong.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Description:
The round point is the classic shape for a razor and is suitable in most shaving situations. This type of point has been very popular for centuries, as the curved shape can be used very safely in the areas of the ears, nose, and dimples. Even in the event of a fall, the rounded head protects you from injuries. 5/8 inch razors are truel all-rounders and can do any wet shaving task with flying colours. The blade is relatively heavy and can therefore glide gently over your skin without great pressure. At the same time, it is still nimble enough to manage even more technically demanding passages around the nose, ears, and chin.
