Analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Damascus steel is famous for its unique multi-layered structure, which combines high hardness and excellent cutting ability. The use of laminated damask gives the blade not only aesthetic expressiveness — the wavy pattern on the blade, which is rightfully considered a sign of handwork and exclusivity — but also functional advantages.: high hardness (60 HRC) provides outstanding cutting edge durability while maintaining sharpness during prolonged use. Bluing additionally protects the blade from corrosion and gives it a deep noble shade, strengthening the top layer of steel.
The black hornbeam handle is a standard of strength and natural moisture resistance: hornbeam wood is not afraid of humidity fluctuations and is not susceptible to cracking. The acrylic inserts not only emphasize the knife's individuality with a bright, stylish accent, but also add ergonomics — the handle rests confidently even in a wet hand, does not slip and provides a reliable grip in all weather conditions.
The blade is 28 mm wide, 3.5 mm thick and 131 mm long and is made in the classic "Normal Blade" shape, which is a universal solution for tourist, hunting and household tasks. This geometry guarantees a good balance between penetration and cutting control, allowing you to confidently perform both fine work (cutting, skinning) and rough cutting or cutting.
Due to its laminated structure and high carbon content in damascus, the blade has excellent wear resistance, incredible fracture strength and minimal chipping. This combination is typical only for premium hand knives, where every detail is honed by a master.
The bluing of the blade and the natural properties of black hornbeam make the knife resistant to moisture, and the leather sheath provides additional protection during transportation and storage.
Damascus steel requires careful manual sharpening: with proper care, the knife will enjoy a high sharpness for a long time. It is important to use only gentle sharpening tools to preserve the pattern and the working layer of the Damascus. The handle does not require special treatment, it is enough to wipe it with a dry cloth after work.Applications, advantages and limitations
— Universal camping tasks: cutting food, preparing firewood, making pegs, minor equipment repairs.
— Hunting: cutting and deboning the trophy, skinning.
— Tourist trips, survival, as well as collectible use — due to aesthetics and handwork.
— Suitable as a gift option due to the expressive combination of materials and exclusive appearance.
Restrictions:
— It is not recommended to use for heavy impact and overloaded work (breaking bones, picking thick metal), since Damascus steel, having high hardness, can show brittleness under impact loads.
— It is not intended for use in aggressive salty environments (sea fishing) without careful care — despite the bluing, damask always requires careful handling.
— Not suitable for frequent washing with abrasive cleaning agents.
