Technical analysis and properties of the knife
Blade steel: Damascus steel (HRC 62)
The blade is made of Damascus steel with a high hardness of 62 HRC, which has an excellent effect on wear resistance, the ability to maintain sharpness for a long time and the durability of the cutting edge. Due to the unique structure of the damascus layers, the knife combines excellent hardness with a certain elasticity, which reduces the risk of chipping when used carefully. However, it is worth noting that Damascus requires careful care: it is less resistant to corrosion than modern stainless steels, so after use it is recommended to thoroughly wipe the blade and periodically treat it with special oil.
Handle material: Birch bark
The birch bark handle is a traditional solution that has been proven for centuries. This material is lightweight, eco-friendly, pleasant to the touch and holds perfectly in your hand even in humid conditions or at low temperatures. Due to its porous structure, birch bark does not slip, and the warm texture of the wood is especially appreciated by hunters and tourists for its comfort during prolonged use.
Blade shape: Trailing point
The upward curved butt line ("cat's claw") forms a sharp and thin working edge, ideal for precise, extended cuts and skimming movements. This shape is most effective for cutting, skinning, thinning fish, and precise culinary slicing. The 150 mm long and 36 mm wide blade provides an optimal balance between maneuverability and the work surface.
Wear resistance and durability
Damascus steel with high hardness perfectly holds sharpening even during intensive use, and the structural features of the multilayer pattern give the blade a pleasant visual accent along with durability. It should be borne in mind that extreme hardness requires a more delicate attitude towards the blade: it is not recommended to use a knife for cutting bones or hard materials, this is not its profile.
Easy maintenance
Despite its high hardness, the blade is relatively easy to sharpen on modern water or diamond stones. The birch bark handle does not require special care: it is enough to wipe it from moisture and, if necessary, treat it with natural oils to preserve color and structure.
Optimal applications and limitations
Ideal for:
- Hunting (butchering, skinning, precision work)
- Fishing and fish processing
- Tourism (kitchen tasks on a camping trip, working with groceries)
- Aesthetic serving or meat cuts in the kitchen
- For gift and collectible purposes thanks to the unique damask pattern and the warm natural handle
Restrictions:
- It is not recommended for heavy woodwork, cutting bones, opening canned food and contact with hard, abrasive materials — the high hardness and shape of the blade are designed for precise, clean cuts.
- Damascus steel requires regular maintenance and protection from moisture; it is not a knife for wet operation in an aggressive and constantly humid environment (for example, for spearfishing or long expeditions in rainy conditions without the possibility of maintenance).
Uniqueness and aesthetics
Each handmade knife is unique not only in the pattern of the Damascus steel, but also in the structure and texture of the birch bark handle — such a knife will be a worthy gift or decoration of the collection. Birch bark and damask are a combination of natural style and traditional craftsmanship, inspired by the history of Central Asian and Siberian knives, where versatility and reliability in the field were valued.
Care recommendations
After each use, thoroughly rinse and wipe the knife dry. The blade made of Damascus steel is recommended to be periodically lubricated with mineral or special knife oil, especially after contact with moisture or aggressive media. The birch bark handle does not require complicated maintenance — it is enough to avoid prolonged exposure to water and, if necessary, treat with oil for wood. It is better to store the knife in a complete leather sheath in a dry place.
Summary and brief recommendation
This knife is the choice for handmade connoisseurs, hunters, fishermen, tourists and anyone who appreciates the combination of ethnic tradition, aesthetics of natural materials and high cutting properties in a knife. It is optimal for precise, clean work with food, skin and fish, perfect for a gift or collection. With careful handling and simple care, it will delight for many years to come. It is not recommended for heavy household and power tasks.
