The 'Capro' Prestige - Poplar Burl

The Capro merges timeless Alpine tradition with the precision of British fieldcraft. Inspired by the classic German and Austrian Jagdnicker, its compact yet robust profile is purpose-built for the rigours of European deer stalking. The distinctive silhouette subtly mirrors the graceful curves of roebuck antlers, creating an intuitive, ergonomic grip—even in cold or wet conditions. Designed for clean, controlled work in the field, the Capro is more than a knife—it’s a tribute to heritage, built for those who respect the animal, the craft, and the wild.
 
The Prestige edition elevates this design with a blade forged from Böhler M390 stainless steel—a modern powder metallurgy steel renowned for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. It offers exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance while remaining well suited to a hard-use hunting knife.
 
A beautifully stabilised Poplar burl handle brings warmth and character, with a deep lustre and figuring. Finished with Nickel Silver Corby bolts and a matching lanyard tube, every detail is crafted to last. The stabilisation process infuses the wood with resin before curing, creating a handle that’s stronger, water-resistant, and far less prone to cracking or warping.
 
This blade is paired with a handmade, vegetable-tanned leather sheath, stitched and tooled by hand to complement the piece. Secure, durable, and refined, it keeps your Capro ready for action in the field. With its practical finger guard, sharpening notch, and balanced feel, this is a working tool built to perform—and to endure.
