Lamoureux and Sons Matapedia, Ebony, Hunting Knife

Description

The Matapedia name comes from the Micmac language, meaning “confluence”. For hundreds of years, the native Micmacs tribes of the region hunted moose, as the climate was harsh for agriculture in Gaspesia. They became very successful hunters and many European pioneers coming to the New World learned from them the much-needed skills of field dressing efficiently. The small size, ergonomy and maneuverability of this model pays tribute to old-time skinning techniques which rendered maximum meat without puncturing the rumen or damaging the skin of big game.

LAMOUREUX & SONS

For already more than 10 years LAMOUREUX & SONS knives are handcrafted by craftsmen from Quebec, Canada. The fabrication of each piece is comprised of more than 60 steps and numerous quality controls. All blades are made from S-30V stainless steel sourced from the reputed foundries of Crucible Steels. This alloy is one of the best performing in terms of cutting while maintaining its edge remarkably. Hand guards are crafted from Type 416 stainless steel, this alloy being used for its rigidity and resistance to corrosion. The handles all have ergonomic design features and are sculpted from either cocobolo or Madagascar Ebony, two wood species carefully selected for their hardness, resistance and mostly for their high oil contents which renders our handles stable and virtually impossible to rot. The unique shape of each model’s handle has been studied and developed to provide a comfortable and safe grip in hand during each model’s specific intended use. The handles are secured to the blade permanently using distinctive decorative rivet pins. Every piece is protected by a full-grain leather sheath, hand-stitched by our craftsmen.
