Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade made of D2 steel (hardness 64 HRC)
High—alloy tool steel D2 is a recognized leader in the combination of strength, wear resistance and cutting edge retention. A hardness of 64 HRC means extremely high blade durability.: the knife perfectly copes with long-term work without loss of sharpness, cuts hard materials (wood, tendons, dense leather, solid products). With an optimal blade thickness of 2.4 mm and a width of 36 mm, a balance is achieved between fracture strength, cutting accuracy and the ability to confidently perform light strength work. However, such high hardness requires careful handling: the blade is resistant to wear, but less flexible and sensitive to impacts on hard surfaces (stones, metal).
Handle material — wenge
Exotic wenge wood is known for its density, water resistance and characteristic deep dark pattern. This handle is not only aesthetically attractive, but also extremely pleasant to the touch. Wenge is resistant to moisture and temperature changes, does not warp and does not crumble with proper care. The shape and length of the handle (125 mm) are selected for a secure grip, including in gloves and wet conditions. This makes working with the knife safe and comfortable even for a long time.
Construction and additional elements
The leather scabbard provides classic blade protection and maximum carrying comfort — the knife will not fall out or become dull during storage and transportation.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion, maintenance
D2 steel has good anti-corrosion properties (above average, but not like stainless steels), but requires basic maintenance: wiping dry after contact with moisture, periodic lubrication of the blade with paraffin or gun oil to eliminate pitting. Wenge, as a handle material, perfectly tolerates contact with water, but caring for wood (wax, oils) will prolong the service life and appearance of the knife. D2 is not the easiest steel to sharpen, it is recommended to use high—quality stones of medium and fine grain; but sharpening the knife will need to be carried out much less frequently than with most alternatives.
Scope of application: optimal tasks and constraints
- Great for hiking, hunting, fishing, and camp work – planing, cutting, preparing wood, food, skinning, and trophy butchering.
- Ideal for daily use at home, outdoors, hiking.
- It is perfect for collectors who appreciate the combination of handmade, natural materials and high-end steel.
- It is not intended for heavy cutting of bones, opening metal cans, "chopping" firewood with blows on the butt – due to the high hardness, chipping of the cutting edge is possible with rough handling.
- It is not recommended for work with acid–containing or aggressive liquids without subsequent maintenance - D2 steel requires protection from prolonged contact with moisture and aggressive media.
Unique advantages and differences
- Handmade: Each knife is unique, with individual character and attention to detail.
- D2 steel with a hardness of 64 HRC is a rare combination of exceptional wear resistance and cutting ability for professionals and connoisseurs.
- The premium wenge handle is not only aesthetic, but also practical, durable, and confident in all conditions.

- It is equipped with a handmade leather scabbard – reliability and style.
Care recommendations
- After contact with moisture, be sure to wipe the blade dry.
- Periodically lubricate the steel with protective oil.
- To maintain the handle, use special wood oils or wax.
- To sharpen on water or oil stones, do not use electric sharpeners.
