Technical analysis of the characteristics and features of the knife
Blade steel — D2 (hardness 64 HRC):
D2 steel is famous for its high wear resistance and long sharpening time due to its high carbon and chromium content. The hardness of 64 HRC indicates outstanding resistance to blunting, which is especially valuable for those who appreciate long work without the need for frequent edits. On the other hand, such hardness requires more careful handling and proper sharpening techniques — steel becomes less viscous, so strong lateral loads and cuts on bones can be critical.
D2 has good corrosion resistance compared to most tool steels, however, unlike "stainless" grades, it requires wiping and periodic maintenance of the blade, especially when in contact with moisture and food.
Handle material — wenge:
The natural African wenge tree is characterized by its density, high moisture resistance and expressive texture. The wenge handle fits perfectly in the hand, does not slip even in wet conditions, and the material itself is resistant to cracks and deformations. Wenge is appreciated for its exotic appearance and pleasant tactile sensations.
Blade Shape — Normal Blade:
The classic shape of the "Normal Blade" provides versatility in use — the knife copes equally well with most tasks: from precise cuts and slicing to simple woodwork and outdoor cooking. The blade is 2.4 mm thick and 30 mm wide with a length of 120 mm, balancing maneuverability and hardness, so that cutting properties are maintained even under heavy load.
Ergonomics and comfort of holding:
The well-thought-out geometry of the handle and its length (120 mm) allow you to confidently hold the knife both with your bare hand and with a glove. The handle does not absorb moisture and does not slip, which is especially important in the field, hunting or when working with food.
Wear resistance and maintenance:
Thanks to the combination of D2 and wenge, the knife has an exceptional service life with proper care. To maintain the blade, it is recommended to wipe it after use and lubricate it periodically. Sometimes it is enough to process the handle with oil wax to preserve its rich color and structure.
D2 sharpening requires high-quality abrasives: diamond or ceramic stones, but frequent sharpening is not required.
Optimal application area
- Hiking, camping, bushcraft — an excellent working knife for cooking, cutting wood, performing household tasks.
- Hunting is ideal for cutting trophies, due to the durability of the working edge and high cutting accuracy.
- Collectible possession — handmade aesthetics, premium materials and expressive appearance make the knife a worthy specimen for collections.
- Kitchen (field) — universal for slicing vegetables, bread, meat. However, specialized knives are suitable for delicate or jewelry work in the kitchen.
Usage restrictions
- It is not recommended to use it for heavy work requiring heavy lateral loads (cutting bones, metal objects).
- Is not intended for permanent kitchen work at high humidity without proper maintenance — D2 requires wiping and corrosion protection.
- Sharpening requires some experience and the availability of diamond or ceramic tools.
Unique features and advantages
- High hardness and long service life of the cutting edge — less likely to need sharpening, even with active use.
- Aesthetics and ergonomics: the wenge handle is an exclusive choice for connoisseurs of quality and natural beauty.
- Handmade — each knife is unique, perfectly balanced and brought to perfection by a master.
- Leather scabbard — safe to carry and stylish storage.
Recommendations and conclusions
This knife will be a reliable companion for hunters, hikers and handmade connoisseurs who are looking for a tool with an emphasis on strength, aesthetics and durability. Due to the unique combination of D2 steel and a wenge handle, it stands out from the background of mass—produced products, both in appearance and performance. It is ideal for active nature trips and discerning collectors.
For maximum service life, we recommend wiping the blade dry after each use and treating the handle with natural oils. If necessary, use diamond or ceramic stones for sharpening.
If you are looking for a universal for field conditions, appreciate handwork and aesthetic appearance — this knife will be a worthy choice for you. It is not suitable for those who need a knife for chopping hard materials or who are not ready to devote time to tool care.
