Collector’s Care Pro Tip: As this is a limited-edition piece featuring an exotic wood handle, we recommend handling it with care to preserve the integrity of the snakewood. To maintain the vibrant contrast in the grain, avoid leaving the knife in direct, intense sunlight for extended periods. When not in use, store it in a dry environment. A light, occasional application of high-quality wood wax or oil will help nourish the timber, ensuring your N°08 Snake remains a protected, stunning centrepiece of your collection for years to come.
