Bee (cross section of the handle)

Item number (metal end of the handle)

The cistre and serial number (on the blade)

Each knife is individually numbered and managed. The number is a promise of the highest quality and a firm commitment to the integration of machine work and hand work. The cistre logo is a sign of uncompromising commitment.
