The name of the Trelken Knife is a derivation of the original native word, adapted by the designer, inspired by the term “Trelkenentún”, which in the language of the tribe “Araucanos”, inhabitants of southern Chile, means “to remove the leather from an animal.” This lightweight knife is perfect for small crafts or as a general purpose utility knife. The very thin blade features a sawtooth design on the back.
