Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel: Damascus, hardness 62 HRC
The blade is made of Damascus steel, a material with deep traditions and an impeccable reputation for aesthetic expressiveness and high durability. The hardness of 62 HRC guarantees exceptional wear resistance and edge sharpness even during active use. This steel effectively resists micro—chips and perfectly retains sharpening, but requires proper care. After use, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry, especially when working in humid conditions, to avoid pitting.
Handle material: birch bark, length 110 mm
The birch bark handle is not only the aesthetics of natural material and the individuality of each handle, but also thoughtful practicality. Birch bark provides a reliable grip even in a wet palm, it is "tenacious", slightly rough and non-slip, which is important for precise and confident movements during prolonged work. The natural structure of birch bark feels good in the hand and minimizes fatigue.
Blade shape: Normal Blade, blade parameters
The blade length of 95 mm and width of 25 mm make the knife optimal for precise, accurate work. The classic shape of the Normal Blade is versatile: it is convenient for it to perform undercuts, cut food, plan wood, perform small household and tourist tasks. The 2.4 mm thickness of the butt ensures a balance between a delicate cut and sufficient strength.
Guard and leather scabbard
The presence of a guard increases safety by protecting the hand from slipping onto the blade. High-quality leather scabbard emphasizes the status of the owner and provides convenient transportation of the knife, as well as additional protection of the blade.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
Maximum efficiency:
- Daily household tasks (EDC): opening packages, housework and outdoor activities
- Tourism, picnics: food preparation, minor repairs
- Hunting and fishing tasks of medium-small complexity, butchering small game
- An excellent gift and collector's item due to the uniqueness of the Damascus steel and birch bark handle
- It is not intended for heavy work related to chopping hard materials, opening bones and hitting the blade (batoning)
- Although Damascus steel is resistant to wear, it requires regular maintenance and protection from moisture — we do not recommend using the knife on long expeditions with high humidity levels without proper maintenance
- It is not recommended for very aggressive kitchen use (for example, cutting frozen meat, opening cans, etc.)
Unique features and advantages
- Exclusive Damascus steel: unique pattern of each blade, high hardness and excellent retention of the cutting edge
- Eco-friendly and pleasant-to-touch birch bark handle: confident grip even in wet hands, no cold to the touch in the cold season
- Guard — additional safety with any grip
- Easy maintenance: despite its hardness, the knife sharpens well on high-quality abrasives, and the birch bark is easy to clean with a soft brush or cloth
- Each knife is unique due to the natural damask pattern and birch bark structure
Care recommendations
Damascus steel requires regular maintenance: wipe the blade dry after each use, keep the knife dry, and apply a thin layer of neutral oil if necessary. It is better not to expose the birch bark handle to prolonged exposure to moisture — if it gets very wet, dry it in the shade. When used outdoors, do not keep the knife in a wet sheath for a long time.
To restore the edge, use high-quality stones or diamonds, given the high hardness of the blade.
Brief conclusions and recommendations
This knife is ideal for connoisseurs of handmade, fans of natural materials and collectors of unique products. It will make a great companion for a tourist, mushroom picker, picnic lover or as a stylish gift. The key advantage is the combination of aesthetics, competent ergonomics and exceptional cutting properties.
For those who need a tool for heavy work or plan to use it in conditions of constant high humidity without the possibility of maintenance, it is recommended to consider other options.
