Detailed analysis of properties and features
- Blade steel — Damascus (hardness 64 HRC): The blade is made of high-quality Damascus steel with pronounced lamination, which contributes to outstanding strength and retains its working sharpness for a long time. The hardness of 64 HRC guarantees exceptional wear resistance, the knife does not blunt for a long time even during intensive use. However, such hardness requires accuracy under significant lateral loads — the blade is not designed for cutting or opening thick materials.
- The material of the handle is wenge: African solid wenge wood is famous for its durability, resistance to mechanical damage and moisture. Even with prolonged use, the handle retains its original appearance, does not warp or crack. The natural texture of the wenge emphasizes the individuality of each product, makes the knife pleasant to the touch and provides a secure grip even with wet hands.
- The shape of the blade is a dirk: The symmetrical, sharpened blade on both sides is ideal for injections and precise operations, as well as for work requiring careful penetration into the material. This shape has historically been used in army cutlasses due to its balance and high penetrating power.
- The design is collapsible, with a guard: The compact folding design (handle length 130 mm, blade 100 mm, thickness 2.4 mm) makes the knife comfortable to carry and safe to transport. The guard increases work safety and protects the hand from slipping on the blade.
- Sheath — leather: Classic leather scabbards ensure the safety of the product and add to its premium appearance.
