Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
The blade is made of high—quality Damascus steel with a hardness of 62 HRC, which is an outstanding indicator that guarantees excellent cutting edge safety and high wear resistance. Damascus steel is known for its unique pattern and historical traditions of blacksmithing: the combination of aesthetics and practical properties is fully revealed in this knife. The blade thickness of 2.4 mm and width of 32 mm with a blade length of 131 mm provide a balance between strength and maneuverability, allowing you to perform both precise and forceful cuts.
The Normal Blade shape is versatile and optimal for most everyday tasks. The presence of shafts makes the blade easier, reducing weight and strengthening the structure, which is especially important for long-term operation and complex operations. This geometry works well in the kitchen, as well as in camping or hunting conditions — the knife is convenient to control when cutting, cutting food, skinning and other actions where precision and purity of cutting are required.
The exact parameters of the handle are not specified, however, due to the ratio of blade length and width, as well as the balanced weight, the knife promises to be convenient for medium and large grippers even during long-term operation, be it fresh fish, poultry or vegetable products. At the same time, for wet conditions and extreme use, it is advisable to clarify the material and texture of the handle to fully assess the grip.
Damascus steel, despite its amazing strength and wear resistance, requires more careful care than its stainless counterparts. It does not tolerate prolonged contact with moisture and aggressive environments, and may corrode if stored improperly. Regular cleaning and drying after use, as well as applying a light layer of oil to the blade, guarantee the preservation of appearance and working qualities for many years to come.
The knife has outstanding wear resistance due to its high hardness, and it does not require sharpening for a long time, even during intensive work on meat, wood or other materials. Damascus steel, having hardness, at the same time requires care: it is not recommended to apply strong lateral loads, chop bones or use the blade as a lever. For sharpening, it is recommended to use water or diamond stones, observing the small angle of sharpening, so as not to damage the structure of the Damascus and not to lose the aesthetic pattern.

Limitations:
It is not recommended to use a knife for heavy power work (chopping bones, opening metal cans, rough picking, using as screwdrivers or pry bars) — despite its high strength, Damascus steel is sensitive to chipping with careless handling and does not like excessive stress on the fracture.
