Specifications and Quality of the Okapi "Two Gazelles" Knife:
Blade Metal: Made of very strong Carbon Steel, which is characterized by a terrifying ability to accept sharpening (honing) and retain its sharpness for long periods during use.
Durability: It is a practical knife designed for tough tasks in the wild, hunting, and trips thanks to its classic durable design.
The only drawback: Since it is made of carbon steel and not stainless steel, it is less resistant to rust if left wet, so it always needs to be dried after use and wiped with a little oil to protect it.
Important Note for Differentiation: Old stored versions (like those in the pictures) made in Germany are of very high quality and sought after by enthusiasts. As for the modern knives currently produced by the brand in South Africa or imitations, they come with lower quality and materials.
Its Vintage Condition: The knife is currently considered a vintage (antique) piece stored for decades, and is locally known as "Old Stock" or the historical "Khoja Import" edition.
