Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
The steel of the blade is a multi—layered Damascus: The blade is made of laminated Damascus steel with a hardness of 60 HRC. Due to the complex steel structure, the knife retains its sharpness for a long time, impressively resists wear and has high bending strength. Damascus has an expressive texture, each blade is unique in its pattern. However, despite its resistance to mechanical stress, Damascus steel requires careful care: after use, it is recommended to wipe the knife thoroughly and store it dry to avoid the possible appearance of corrosion typical of carbon damask.
Handle material — Karelian birch and black hornbeam: A combination of two premium materials: warm, tactilely pleasant Karelian birch and aristocratic black hornbeam. This combination not only gives the knife a unique appearance and collector's item status, but also provides a reliable, non-slip grip. Even in wet conditions, the handle is non-slip and holds comfortably in your hand.
Blade Shape — Normal Blade: The classic shape of the blade with a smooth line of the butt makes the knife a versatile tool: sufficient length (131 mm) and width (28 mm) allow you to work confidently on both products and wood or leather. The 3.5 mm thickness of the butt ensures a balance between durability and ease of cutting.
Leather sheath: Aesthetic and durable, they guarantee reliable storage and transportation, and emphasize the premium status of the knife.
Ease of maintenance: Despite its high hardness, the blade is relatively easy to sharpen due to the features of the Damascus, but requires regular maintenance — it is recommended to wipe dry after use and periodically apply protective oil.
Hand hold: The ergonomic handle of medium length (125 mm) fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, is versatile for most grip types, and eliminates accidental slipping even during active work.
