Actual analysis of properties and features
Blade Steel: Damascus steel (hardness 62 HRC)
The blade is made of Damascus steel with an impressive hardness of 62 HRC, which guarantees high wear resistance — the knife keeps sharpening well even with prolonged and intensive use. Damascus steel has excellent cutting ability, and due to its layering, it also features a unique pattern that emphasizes the individuality of the product. However, Damascus requires regular maintenance — the blade is susceptible to corrosion during prolonged contact with moisture, it must be wiped and periodically coated with oil after use.
Handle: burnt moose horn, nickel silver
The handle is made of natural elk horn, decorated with a burning technique and a nickel silver insert. This is not only aesthetics and a special status, but also maximum comfort when holding — the moose horn does not slip even in a wet hand, is not afraid of temperature changes, and retains its appearance and pleasant texture for a long time. Nickel-silver elements add durability and sophistication to the handles.
Dimensions and construction
The 170 mm long, 35 mm wide and 3 mm thick blade perfectly combines cutting and penetrating qualities. The 135mm handle provides a comfortable and secure grip for palms of different sizes. The installed guard protects the hand from accidental slipping during operation, adding safety and manageability. The set includes a genuine leather scabbard for safe storage and carrying.
