Detailed analysis of the characteristics
Blade made of Damascus steel (hardness 62 HRC)
The blade of this knife is made of high-quality Damascus steel with a hardness of 62 on the Rockwell scale, which guarantees outstanding wear resistance and long-term preservation of cutting edge sharpness. A distinctive feature of the Damascus is not only its magnificent appearance with its characteristic patterned pattern, but also its unique combination of strength and flexibility, which makes the knife practical for both everyday tasks and special types of work. The steel is resistant to chipping and perfectly holds the sharpening even during intensive use.
The handle is made of natural birch bark
The handle is handmade from natural birch bark, a traditional Russian material with lightness, warm tactility, high environmental friendliness and authentic aesthetics. Birch bark not only gives the knife a unique look, but also provides a comfortable, reliable grip even in wet conditions due to its natural roughness and ability to minimize slipping.
Blade shape and geometry
The classic shape of the Normal Blade provides versatility — the blade is 28 mm wide and 130 mm long, perfect for precision cutting, cutting, cooking, and hiking tasks. The 3.6 mm thickness of the butt reinforces the design, allowing you to perform both delicate work and confidently handle cutting on hard materials.
Genuine leather scabbard
It is equipped with a handmade leather sheath that provides reliable protection when worn and easy access to the knife.
Scope of application: optimal scenarios and constraints
Optimal tasks:
- Hiking and camping: Ideal for slicing food, butchering fish, and small-scale camp chores.
- Hunting: suitable for skinning, primary trophy cutting, small-scale cutting operations.
- Outdoor activities: The lightweight birch bark handle reduces fatigue during prolonged use.
- Collectibles: Each knife is unique due to its individual Damascus steel pattern and natural birch bark structure.
-
It is not intended for heavy impact loads (batoning, planing of large branches) — Damascus steel, despite its strength, can be sensitive to strong lateral loads.
- It is not recommended for use in conditions of constant high humidity without regular maintenance — the birch bark handle needs careful treatment.
- It is not suitable for working on very hard or mineral materials, which can quickly dull the cutting edge.

Knife care
- Wipe the blade and handle dry after use, especially when working in a humid environment.
- To maintain corrosion resistance, it is recommended to periodically apply a thin layer of neutral oil to the blade.
- Avoid prolonged contact with water and aggressive media to preserve the structure of the birch bark.
- If necessary, use high—quality water or diamond stones for sharpening - Damascus sharpening requires care, but is usually required much less often due to its high hardness.
- Keep the knife in a dry place, avoiding contact with moisture.
Conclusion and recommendations
This knife is an ideal choice for handmade connoisseurs, outdoor enthusiasts, hunters and collectors who value reliability, unique design and comfort in use.
