Detailed analysis of the characteristics and features of the knife
Blade steel: Damascus, laminated — Laminated Damascus steel combines high hardness (60 HRC), expressive pattern and excellent durability, creating a balance between excellent cutting ability and chip resistance. This steel is famous not only for its aesthetics, but also for its high wear resistance, it keeps sharpening perfectly even with intensive use on a cut, and its cutting properties persist for a long time. Due to lamination and complex multilayer geometry, the Damascus has gained good flexibility, which reduces the risk of blade breakage under lateral loads.
Handle material: Stabilized Karelian birch (carved, blue) — Stabilized Karelian birch wood is distinguished by its unusual beauty and texture. Due to the stabilization process, the material becomes dense, does not absorb moisture, does not warp and does not crumble even with frequent contact with water. The carved finish ensures a secure grip, and thanks to its ergonomic shape, the handle fits comfortably in the hand, does not slip even in wet palms. The pleasant-to-touch material retains its aesthetics even after prolonged use.
Blade shape: Normal Blade — The classic blade shape is versatile and great for most tasks: slicing, planing, cutting, small jobs. The optimal length (131 mm) and width (28 mm) ensure precise control, while maintaining sharpness when working with hard and soft materials. The thickness (3.6 mm) provides the necessary strength, allowing you to perform more demanding tasks without fear of damage. This shape is ideal for controlling the cutting line during hunting, hiking, woodwork, and domestic use.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion — Thanks to the stabilized Karelian birch, the knife withstands wet operating conditions, is not afraid of water, is not susceptible to fungus or cracking. Damascus steel has good corrosion resistance, although we recommend keeping it clean and periodically lubricating the blade to preserve aesthetics and prevent possible stains, especially when used in damp conditions.
Wear resistance and durability — High hardness (60 HRC) and multi-layered structure ensure excellent wear resistance, minimal bluntness, and the handle does not lose color and structure over time. The knife can withstand long hikes, hunting and repetitive loads without loss of performance.
Care and maintenance — It is recommended to regularly clean and wipe the blade dry after use, especially after contact with acidic media or moisture. Wiping with a soft cloth is enough to maintain the perfect condition of the handle. The blade is easily sharpened due to high-quality steels, but requires care: for best results, use water or diamond stones. It is advisable to keep the knife in the leather sheath supplied in the kit.
