Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel: Damascus steel is a recognized standard among materials for premium knives. In this version, the blade is hardened to 62 HRC, which provides outstanding hardness and amazing wear resistance. This hardness allows the blade to remain sharp for a long time, even with heavy use, making the knife ideal for complex tasks where a long service life of the cutting edge is required.
Damascus is distinguished not only by the aesthetics of its unique pattern, but also by its excellent resistance to wear and the appearance of nicks. However, it should be borne in mind that Damascus steel requires careful handling in terms of moisture resistance: despite its good corrosion resistance for such alloys, prolonged contact with moisture, as well as aggressive environments, may require regular care and drying after use.
Handle: Black hornbeam is a noble wood known for its durability, excellent moisture resistance and tactile warmth. Thanks to its carefully sanded surface, the handle fits perfectly in the hand in both dry and wet conditions, providing a secure grip even during prolonged operation. The natural hornbeam structure is non-slip, resistant to cracking and deformation, and the deep dark color gives the knife a statuesque appearance.
Blade shape: The Spear Point is a classic shape, historically distinguished by its versatility and balance between piercing and cutting capabilities. The symmetrical profile and powerful tip allow the knife to be used not only for precise punctures, but also for confident cutting. This shape is ideal for hunting, hiking, and tactical tasks, as well as for most domestic applications where reliability, control, and maneuverability are required.
Dimensions and ergonomics: The 160 mm long blade with a thickness of 3 mm provides durability without excessive heaviness, and the 120 mm long handle guarantees a comfortable grip for most users. This balance of sizes is optimal for universal use in nature, hiking or fishing.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
Ideal for hunting, hiking, fishing, camping and outdoor use: it can confidently handle cutting game, cooking, woodwork and household tasks.
Recommended for collectibles and gifts: the expressive damask pattern and natural handle emphasize the status of the owner.
Suitable for tactical tasks and precision work: The Spear Point guarantees an effective cut and puncture.
Restrictions: It is not recommended for heavy metal work, cutting of solid objects, or use in conditions of high humidity without proper care. In case of prolonged contact with water, Damascus steel requires wiping and preservation. Also, the high hardness makes it difficult to self-sharpen without experience and specialized tools.
Unique advantages of the product
Expressive blade pattern — each knife is unique due to the structure of the Damascus steel.
Aesthetics and durability of hornbeam nature — noble appearance combined with exceptional resistance to wear.
A balance between strength and lightness, due to the well-chosen proportions of the blade and hilt.
Historical traditions: the shape of the “finca” and the aesthetics of Damascus have inherited the best features of the legendary knives of the past.
Recommendations for care and operation
Maintenance of Damascus steel: After each use, wipe the blade thoroughly dry, especially after contact with moisture or food acids. For long-term storage, it is recommended to apply a light layer of oil or a special damask protection product.
The black hornbeam handle requires virtually no special care, but it is recommended to avoid prolonged contact with aggressive chemicals and high temperatures.
To fix the cutting edge, use professional stones or contact a specialist — high hardness requires careful approach.
Conclusions and brief recommendation
This knife is an excellent choice for handmade connoisseurs, hunters, fishermen, travelers, as well as collectors. It is especially good for those who appreciate the combination of aesthetics, tradition and practicality. With proper care, it will last for many years, pleasing with its unique appearance and functionality.
