Detailed analysis of product properties and features
Blade steel: Damascus, nickel plating
The blade is made of high-quality Damascus steel with nickel-plated finish. Damascus steel is known for its extraordinary hardness (62 HRC), unique structure and pronounced pattern on the blade, which gives the product not only a pronounced appearance, but also excellent wear resistance and cutting qualities. Nickel plating enhances corrosion resistance, making the knife optimal for use in humid environments and extending its service life even with heavy use.
Handle material: birch bark
The handle made of natural birch bark provides lightness and warm tactile contact even in cold or wet weather. Due to its natural texture and minimal thermal conductivity, birch bark does not slip in the hand and is held securely even when working without gloves or wet hands. The ergonomic shape of the handle is designed for long—term operation - minimizes palm fatigue, maintains a confident grip.
Blade shape and dimensions
The blade thickness of 5 mm and width of 100 mm with a length of 180 mm create a strong, massive work surface, which emphasizes the versatility and high survival rate of the knife in harsh conditions. This geometry is typical for choppers, tools designed for rough work: cutting roots, branches, removing bark, stripping and other household tasks. The blade will perform well when working with wood, in camping and country conditions, when processing large products in the kitchen.
Scabbard: genuine leather
The classic leather case provides safe and comfortable wearing, as well as reliable protection of the blade during transportation and storage.
