Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel — Damascus with HRC 62: The blade is made of high—quality Damascus steel, a material with a thousand-year history, famous for its unique combination of beauty (characteristic pattern on the surface) and outstanding performance. The hardness of 62 HRC ensures exceptional sharpness and long-term retention of the cutting edge, which is especially important for an active user. Damascus steel resists mechanical stress and is highly wear-resistant, but requires careful attention to moisture: to preserve its unique properties, it is recommended to thoroughly wipe the blade after use, especially in the field.
The handle material is birch bark: The handle made of natural birch bark emphasizes authenticity and a traditional approach to production. Birch bark is a natural material with excellent thermal insulation (the handle is "warm" to the touch even in winter), slip resistance (even in a wet palm), pleasant tactility and light weight. Due to these properties, the knife is conveniently and safely held in the hand for hours, including when working in hiking, hunting and hiking conditions. The ergonomic shape guarantees comfort even during long-term operation.
Drop Point blade — versatility and practicality: The classic Drop Point shape with a moderately pronounced belly and a smooth lowering of the buttline is perfectly balanced between penetrating and cutting abilities. Such a blade is suitable for solving a wide range of tasks: cutting food, cutting fish and game, preparatory work in the camp, creating shavings. The butt thickness of 3 mm and the width of 30 mm give the knife additional strength, minimizing the risk of breakage under adequate load.
Genuine leather scabbard: The ensemble is complemented by a high-quality leather case that protects the knife from environmental influences and ensures safe transportation.
