Nikolai Pergelov Krache 125 Horn

Handcrafted Nikolai Pergelov "Krache" Model Folding Knife – 440B Stainless Steel and Natural Horn Scales. The Nikolai Pergelov "Krache" model is a fine piece of cutlery that blends traditional design with artisanal craftsmanship. Intended for both discerning collectors and enthusiasts of functional, traditional knives, this piece stands out for the superior quality of its materials and a timeless elegance in every detail. "Krache" (Краче) style knives originate from the rich cutlery tradition of the Kostenets (Костенец) area—a historic region in western Bulgaria (Sofia Province) renowned since the 19th century for its metal-forging and traditional knife-making craftsmanship. In Bulgarian, the term "Krache" (Краче) literally means "little leg" or "little foot." The name is derived from the distinctive shape of the rear end—or heel—of the knife's handle.

The traditional "Krache" design emerged as a utilitarian, field-ready tool, highly popular among local shepherds, hunters, and farmers. Its folding format allowed it to be carried safely in a pocket, serving as a practical tool for everyday tasks such as cutting, carving, and preparing food.
