Nice
Nice knife. Very sharp. Once open the collar firmly locks the blade in place. Beautiful handle and overall an excellent knife for the price. Great alternative to an Opinel.

Is there a better ring lock, light weight, reasonably priced pocket knife on the market? We don't think so!
Working out of Palaçoulo in Portugal the father and son team of Jose da Cruz create knives of outstanding quality and practicality. They are notable by the use of a heavyweight brass ring lock that secures the blade in the open position, no puny stainless or aluminium that over time loosens and becomes less effective.
The Jose da Cruz Boxwood Carbon features a compact, streamlined blade made from Carbon steel. It is extremely sharp out of the box and makes for a highly versatile and handy blade. The handle is polished Boxwood.
Fits the small leather sheath. See below.

This is such a great little knife and if you’re bored of your No 8 Opinel, get one.!
Very good looking little knife and very sharp (at first)but overall it’s a nice on for my collection
Very well made and more interesting than those Frenchy offerings, hope they get more of these in, Thank you HH for bringing these to the public.
So, after carrying this in my pocket for 4 days at work and using it for light work, cutting packing tape to flatten boxes, cutting pallet wrap round 4 cages, hardly stressful stuff, it has developed side to side blade play and the blade just drops sh#t once the locking collar is released, I've stopped carrying it as there is now so little resistance to opening or closing in the pocket that I'm not willing to take the risk of cut fingers when reaching into my pocket for it. Very disappointed after my initial review, it's almost as if the wood wasn't seasoned and has shrunk.
Opinel on steroids, I can't help but to compare the 2 but there's many differences. The blade does not lock closed and is thicker, the handle is especially attractive, the lines on it being the result of worm activity (I'm guessing) I really like it and have already bought another 4 varients , no doubt I will end up with the whole set :)
Really nice alternative to an Opinel, I actually received the knife in the site pictures, and it's outstanding for the price, the fit and finish is spot on, the locking collar has a bit of resistance and once turned to the locked position is very secure, not likely to slip in use. The blade is evenly ground with a nice satin finish and very sharp. Nothing to fault as far as I can see.
