Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel: Damascus steel, HRC 60, with bluing
The blade is made of high-quality Damascus steel with a hardness of 60 HRC, which guarantees excellent wear resistance, long-term retention of sharpness and durability. Damascus steel is famous for its unique surface patterns and excellent cutting ability. Bluing gives the blade not only aesthetic depth, but also additional protection against corrosion, which is especially important when using the knife in a humid environment or outdoors.
Handle: Karelian birch and carved bone (moose horn)
The handle is made of premium materials: end Karelian birch and an insert made of carved bone (elk horn). This combination is not only aesthetically appealing, each knife is unique due to its natural wood pattern and hand-carved bone, but also provides durability, reliable grip even in a wet hand and resistance to temperature changes.
Karelian birch is one of the most beautiful and hardy domestic materials, often used in collectible and hunting knives. The moose horn adds charm and increases the handle's resistance to wear.
Blade shape and dimensions: Drop Point, 145x33 mm, thickness 3.7 mm
Drop Point is a universal blade shape that is well suited for both cutting and piercing. Thanks to the smooth curve of the butt, the knife perfectly copes with most tasks: from cooking and cutting small game to tourist work. The length of 145 mm, width of 33 mm, thickness of 3.7 mm ensure sufficient blade strength for difficult work and confident control with precise actions.
Hand-held and user-friendly
Thanks to the ergonomics and handle material, the knife fits perfectly in the hand, does not slip even when working with wet gloves. The balance between the length of the blade and the handle (125 mm) contributes to a comfortable grip for both long-term use and fast work. The wood texture and the carved insert further enhance the tenacity of the grip.
Moisture resistance, wear resistance and maintenance
Blued Damascus steel resists corrosion well, but requires periodic maintenance: after work, it is advisable to wipe the blade dry and periodically lubricate it with a thin layer of oil. The handle made of Karelian birch and elk horn is resistant to moisture, but to preserve its decorative properties, it is recommended to avoid prolonged contact with water and store the knife in a dry genuine leather sheath. Sharpening Damascus steel requires care: it is better to use stones with fine grain.
