Blade: Damascus steel with a hardness of 62 HRC is an excellent choice for true connoisseurs of handmade knife art. Damascus is famous for its unique multi-layered structure combining high hardness and elasticity. This combination provides exceptional wear resistance and a long service life of the cutting edge. The blade's thickness of 2.4 mm and length of 117 mm form an optimal balance between strength and maneuverability, while the width of 21 mm adds stability when performing precision work. The shape of the blade is the classic Normal Blade, which is universally suitable for most cutting and stabbing tasks, ensuring the reliability and expressive appearance of the knife.Technical features and materials
Optimal usage scenarios
This knife is designed for a wide range of applications due to the combination of the shape and characteristics of Damascus steel. He's especially good:
- On hiking trips, it is used for careful cleaning of fish, butchering chicken, thin slicing and minor household tasks.
- As a versatile working knife in nature, it can easily handle cutting paper, cardboard, leather and textiles.
- In everyday life, it is suitable for filigree kitchen slicing of vegetables, fruits and meat products.
- The collection features an expressive damask pattern and handwork that make this knife a real find for collectors.
Advantages and design features
- Handle: The composition and color of the material are not specified, but due to the handwork and traditional craftsmanship, an excellent balance is achieved in holding the knife. The shape of the handle (standard for models with a Normal Blade type) implies a comfortable grip in various hand positions.
- Corrosion resistance: Damascus steel requires careful attention. Despite its resistance to wear, the knife requires regular maintenance: wipe the blade dry after use and do not store it in a humid environment.
- Wear resistance: The high hardness and multi-layered structure provide increased resistance to blunting, which is especially important during daily or intensive use.
- Service: It is recommended to use specialized abrasives for sharpening — steel keeps sharpening well, but requires careful maintenance, given its hardness.
- Hand hold: Even without specifying the material of the handle, due to ergonomics and the traditional approach to its shape, the knife fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and does not slip when wet.
Limitations of the application
- Damascus steel, despite its beauty and strength, is not designed for rough work: do not use a knife to chop bones, frozen food or heavy building materials.
- It is not recommended to use as the main knife for survival or batoning — blades with a higher thickness and other types of steel are suitable for such tasks.
- It requires more careful maintenance compared to modern powder steels: regular cleaning and drying are critically important to prevent corrosion.
Conclusion and recommendations
This knife will be an ideal companion for aesthetes, collectors and anyone who appreciates the sophistication of handmade, high cutting ability and durability. It will perform well in the kitchen, in tourism and everyday tasks, especially where precision, balance and aesthetics of form are important. It is not suitable for heavy percussion or rough work. Care instructions: be sure to wipe the blade dry, store it in a dry place, and periodically lubricate it with blade oil.
