A knife for the ocean and ocean racing
Designed specifically to meet the demands of sailors, the "Encan 10" was the natural choice to accompany skippers in the most famous of single-handed round-the-world races. Appreciated for its lightness, sturdiness and ergonomics, it features a unique Farol-designed locking system for easy handling at sea. Its construction incorporates a shipbuilding rivet to reinforce its solidity, an indispensable asset in extreme conditions.
A special edition for the Vendée Globe
This special "Vendée Globe" edition features improvements that make it even more suitable for sailing. The local oak handle, engraved with the GPS coordinates of the starting line, features special teeth for cutting ropes. A lanyard in the race colors allows the knife to be attached for practical use at sea. This personalization strengthens the bond between sailors and this everyday object, which becomes a veritable travel companion.
