Hunting Knife: The logo consists of the acronym made of the first letters of the names of my children and my wife. I have chosen the emblem showing a ram head, because both of my children were born under the star sign of the Ram (Aries). I am making hunting knives exclusively produced as unique models or in a small series. The knives are made with high level hand work and are valuable knives of connoisseurs, experts, collectors and amateurs. All the materials are selectively chosen. The knives are meticulously constructed. The finished knives have an unmistakable practical design. All DNC knives have a shape thinning towards the tip of the handle called by the trade jargon as a "Tapered Tang". The finger guard is made of chrome alloy steel, wich is corrosion. proof and rustproof material.
