Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Stainless Damascus Blade (HRC 64):The blade is made of stainless damascus, which combines the visual expressiveness of the famous patterned pattern, high hardness (HRC 64) and excellent corrosion resistance. Due to its structure, Damascus steel is known for its exceptional wear resistance and ability to hold sharpness for a long time. The high hardness index guarantees long—term preservation of the cutting edge and minimal need for sharpening, but requires careful handling under heavy transverse loads - very hard steel is less ductile and may be prone to chipping under extreme loads.
The dirk is a classic blade shape: The narrow dagger profile provides excellent puncture and good handling with precise movements. This shape has historically been used for combat and ceremonial tasks — the blade can equally pierce and perform accurate cuts. However, this geometry is not ideal for "power" work on hard materials, it is not intended for planing or chopping, being inferior to knives with a more versatile blade shape.
G10 handle: The modern G10 composite material is highly durable, ideal for use in various weather conditions — it does not absorb moisture, is resistant to temperature fluctuations and chemical influences. The handle provides a secure grip even in a wet hand, and the presence of a guard protects fingers from slipping onto the blade during operation. The L-shaped guard increases safety during precise and forceful movements.
Dimensions and ergonomics: The optimal blade length is 100 mm, width 18 mm, thickness 2.4 mm. This geometry contributes to the precision and lightness of the knife. The handle length is 130 mm, which ensures a comfortable fit of the knife in the hand of a medium or large palm.
Leather sheath: The knife is equipped with a reliable leather sheath, which not only protects the blade and the user, but also emphasizes the status and aesthetics of the product.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
Optimal tasks:
- Collecting, themed gifts, including for connoisseurs of military history and aesthetics of the USSR.
- Package opening, precision work — cutting and piercing of soft and medium materials (leather, fabric, small products).
- Ceremonial or ceremonial wearing is due to the classic cutlass shape and expressive damask pattern.
- It is not intended for heavy work: chopping, planing on wood, cutting bones or hard materials — due to the shape of the blade and high hardness, there is a risk of damage to the cutting edge under excessive load.
- It is not recommended for everyday cooking, cutting large products, or universal camping use where a wide range of functions is required.
- For long-term tactical or rescue operations, it is better to choose knives with a blade of a different geometry and a more versatile steel.
Features of care
Damascus steel, although stainless, requires basic care — after use, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry and store it in a dry state. The G10 does not require any special care, and regular cleaning with a soft cloth is sufficient. It is advisable to protect the leather sheath from excessive moisture and periodically treat it with a special skin product.
Unique advantages
Handmade in combination with high-end materials provide the product not only with practicality, but also with collectible value. Damascus stainless steel is a rarity among modern knives, it distinguishes the knife from mass—produced products. The classic cutlass shape with historical overtones of the USSR makes this knife a real artifact, combining retro style, masterful execution and modern technology.
A brief recommendation
This knife is ideal for collectors, connoisseurs of military aesthetics, as well as those who are looking for a status accessory with a historical character and expressive appearance. Practical for precision work and wearing on special occasions. Those who need a versatile tool for heavy work are advised to look at other models. Care is simple, but careful handling of hard Damascus steel is essential.
