IBEX 100 Inox Olive

The Windmühlenmesser R. Herder IBEX 100 Inox Olive is a functional outdoor pocket knife that combines the essence of traditional craftsmanship in a handy format. Inspired by the classic shape of the Okapi knife, once made in Solingen and recognized worldwide, the IBEX is a modern interpretation of this proven knife type. It is specially designed for use in the great outdoors and impresses with its first-class cutting properties and robustness.

The blade of the Solingen pocket knife is made of stainless chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel, which is known for its excellent corrosion resistance. With a hardness of approx. 57 HRC, the blade offers an ideal balance between sharpness and durability. The steel used, known as 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15), contains around 0.55 % carbon and 15 % chromium, which not only ensures edge retention, but also resistance to rust and external influences. This low-maintenance blade is therefore ideal for demanding outdoor use. The blade geometry of the IBEX 100 is designed to offer maximum cutting performance. With a length of approx. 10 cm and a spine thickness of 2.5 mm, the blade combines stability with precision thanks to its convex grind. The straight spine of the blade only drops slightly near the tip, which gives the blade a high level of stability, while the slim tip enables precise cutting. This shape, which is reminiscent of the traditional sheepfoot blade, is ideal for cutting and severing a wide range of materials in the outdoor sector.

A striking feature of the IBEX is the innovative ratchett lock. This modern development of the classic tang lock ensures that the blade is securely locked in place and is easy to use. The cuticle on the blade allows the knife to be opened effortlessly with two hands until it engages securely in the back spring. To close, the spring is released via a ring on the handle, allowing the blade to be folded in stages in a controlled manner. This mechanism prevents accidental slamming and increases safety during operation. Thanks to this secure locking mechanism and the two-handed operation, the rustic folding knife also complies with the provisions of the German Weapons Law.

The handle of the Windmühlen knife is made of high-quality olive wood, which impresses with its lively grain and natural aesthetics. The clear lines of the handle offer a pleasant feel and combine functionality with traditional craftsmanship. The wood is finely crafted and oiled, giving the knife a long service life while ensuring a comfortable grip.

With a total length of approx. 24 cm, the Windmühlenmesser R. Herder IBEX 100 Inox Olive is not only a practical tool for outdoor activities, but also an expression of solid craftsmanship from Solingen. Thanks to its high-quality workmanship and the use of first-class materials, the IBEX 100 is a reliable companion for a wide range of outdoor activities. It combines compact size with high performance, making it the ideal companion for anyone looking for a practical yet elegant pocket knife.
