Throughout history, blue has long been associated with divinity and nobility. In the Middle Ages, it was rare and precious, often reserved for the clothing of elites or religious representations. With the advent of synthetic dyes in the 19th century, blue became more accessible. It was also during this time that blue emerged as the emblematic color of workwear. The "blue workwear" adopted by laborers symbolized effort, simplicity, and a connection to artisanal and industrial trades.
Beechwood, often referred to as the "king of European forests," is a local and versatile material, valued for its lightness, strength, and ability to be shaped or dyed. A staple of European forests, it has been used for centuries to craft furniture, tools, and even toys. Its uniform texture and resistance to impact make it an ideal choice for knife handles.
The handle underwent a stabilization process. This involves injecting resin or polymer under vacuum and pressure into the wood's pores. This technique enhances beechwood’s resistance to humidity, temperature fluctuations, and environmental conditions, making it more durable and less prone to deformation.
