# Black Phosphated Finish
The black phosphated finish chemically bonds to the surface of the steel, increasing corrosion resistance while creating a durable matte appearance. Unlike painted coatings, the treatment becomes part of the steel itself, preserving the blade’s performance and giving it a distinctive rugged look. As with any high carbon steel knife, drying after use and applying a light coat of oil occasionally will help maintain its appearance.

# Handmade Leather Sheath
Every C1018 includes a handcrafted vegetable-tanned leather sheath made by skilled Argentine artisans. Individually hand-stitched for durability and secure carry, it perfectly complements the knife’s traditional design.

# Handcrafted in Argentina
Every OriginalDogo knife is individually handcrafted rather than mass-produced. Natural variations in materials and finishing make each knife unique while reflecting the heritage of traditional Argentine craftsmanship.
