Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel — Damascus: The blade is made of Damascus steel with a hardness of 64 HRC, which guarantees excellent wear resistance, long-lasting sharpness and outstanding durability. The multi—layered damask structure not only provides a unique appearance, but also improves overall performance - the knife is able to withstand high loads without the risk of discoloration or cracks. However, despite its high hardness, the knife requires careful handling under significant lateral loads and contact with very hard surfaces.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion: Damascus steel traditionally requires more careful maintenance compared to modern stainless alloys. It is necessary to wipe the blade regularly after use and store it in a dry place, especially if the knife is used in humid conditions. Moreover, Damascus has a certain threshold of resistance to stains and rust, but regular treatment with oils or waxes is essential to maintain its perfect appearance.
Handle — white acrylic: The white acrylic handle is distinguished by its aesthetic purity and brightness, distinguishing the knife from other products and emphasizing its collectible character. Acrylic is moisture-resistant, does not absorb dirt and odors, is easy to clean, and is resistant to most household reagents. However, with a strong impact or fall, the acrylic handle may crack, so the knife requires careful handling.
Hand hold: The ergonomics of the folding design and the presence of a guard ensure a secure grip, preventing fingers from sliding onto the blade even when working with gloves or wet conditions. This arrangement is convenient for delicate and precise movements.
The shape of the blade is a dirk: The dirk is a narrow, double—edged blade, historically used as an officer's weapon and ceremonial blade. This shape is designed for precise injections and clean cuts, ideal for decorative, collectible tasks, as well as for neat work (for example, opening letters, installation, small wood or leather carvings). For household and hiking tasks that require chopping, planing, or bone work, this form is not optimal.
Wear resistance and maintenance: High hardness guarantees long-term retention of sharpening. However, sharpening Damascus requires care and the use of specialized tools — it is recommended to use fine-grained stones and avoid aggressive sandpaper circles. To maintain the gloss and expressive Damask pattern, it is recommended to lubricate the blade regularly with special oils.
