Careful analysis of the characteristics and properties of the knife
Blade steel: Damascus steel (HRC 62)
The main material of the blade is Damascus, the name behind which is multilayer steel, famous for its pattern, strength and unique characteristics. A hardness of 62 HRC indicates excellent wear resistance and long—term preservation of the sharpness of the cutting edge - the knife practically does not blunt even with intensive use. This hardness is optimal for cutting and precision work, especially when careful, clean penetration into the material is required.
Wear resistance and durability: Damascus steel is resistant to discoloration and abrasion, but under excessive stress on the fracture or lateral loads of the blade, there is a risk of chipping due to its high hardness.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion: Classic Damascus requires mandatory maintenance. Corrosion resistance is average — the knife must be regularly dried and lubricated to prevent rust. Use in damp conditions is allowed only in strict compliance with the recommendations for care.
Easy maintenance: Due to the hardness of HRC 62, the knife keeps sharpening for a long time, however, the re-sharpening process can be more laborious, high-quality abrasives will be required.
Geometry and shape of the blade: Normal Blade
The classic universal shape — Normal Blade — combines an easy lifting of the butt to the tip and a straight cutting edge. This geometry is excellent for most applied work.: planing, cutting, slicing, small-scale household activities, hiking tasks.
The blade thickness is 2.4 mm, width 25 mm, length 110 mm: The optimal combination of parameters for a universal knife is strong enough, moderately thin for a confident cut, and the width allows you to control the tool when working with materials of different densities.
Handle material and ergonomics
There is no data on the material and length of the handle, so it is impossible to give a definitive estimate of the grip in the hand. Nevertheless, for handmade knives, the manufacturer traditionally uses durable materials that provide a comfortable and reliable grip even in wet conditions.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
- Optimal use: Excellent for tourism, field work, hunting (cutting, wood and leather work), fishing, household tasks. Due to its aesthetic design, the blade is highly appreciated in the collector's segment.
- Advantages:
- Exceptionally long service life of the sharp edge
- High strength, wear resistance
- Unique appearance (each blade is unique in its structure of layers)
- Pleasant thickness and balanced geometric parameters for versatile tasks
- Restrictions:
- It is not recommended for power work with high lateral pressure — chipping is possible due to high hardness
- It requires regular maintenance against corrosion, especially after contact with moisture and acidic media
- Sharpening requires precision and special abrasives due to hardness and layering
- It is not optimal for: heavy batoning, chopping, opening canned food, and breaking work
Care recommendations
Due to the properties of Damascus steel, it is recommended to wipe the blade thoroughly after use and store it in a dry place. Regular treatment with mineral oil will help protect the blade from oxidation and preserve the unique pattern. It is best to maintain sharpness with medium and high-grain water stones, avoiding coarse abrasives.
Summary and recommendations
This knife is an ideal choice for connoisseurs of unique handmade products, seekers of a combination of artistic aesthetics and practical versatility, as well as for hunters, tourists and collectors. It is optimal for cutting, cutting and precision work, where edge durability and classic ergonomics are important. If high corrosion resistance is critical for you and kink work is necessary, pay attention to other types of knives.
