Blade Steel:D2 is a high—carbon tool steel with a high chromium content, characterized by outstanding hardness (HRC 64), excellent wear resistance and the ability to maintain the sharpness of the cutting edge for a long time. This steel is resistant to the appearance of notches even during intensive work, which is extremely important for hunting, hiking and working knives. Blade shape:The Normal Blade is a classic universal shape with a straight butt, providing precise control over cutting movement. This profile is ideal for delicate work, milling, cutting products and trophy handling, but it also confidently handles most outdoor tasks. Thickness and dimensions: The blade thickness of 2.4 mm is optimal for maintaining a balance between strength and cutting. The blade length of 120 mm is universal, it allows both to perform delicate work and to confidently cut something large. The blade width of 34 mm adds resistance to lateral loads. The handle:Wenge is an exotic wood species characterized by high density, moisture resistance and an aesthetically expressive dark pattern. This handle fits perfectly in the hand, does not slip even in a humid environment or in a glove, is pleasant to the touch and gives the knife a statuesque appearance. The scabbard: The leather sheath emphasizes the premium quality of the product, securely locks the knife and ensures a long service life with proper care.

Limitations and nuances of operation
Corrosion resistance D2: Steel D2 — semi-rusting: it is significantly more resistant to corrosion than carbon steels, but requires care when exposed to moisture or acidic products for a long time: it is recommended to wipe and lubricate the blade dry after work.
Wear resistance and sharpening:D2 is one of the hardest steels, which makes the knife sharpen longer, but requires the use of high—quality abrasives when straightening and sharpening; conventional household sharpeners are not suitable — a diamond or ceramic bar is recommended.
Blade shape and tasks:Normal blade is poorly suited for power work such as batoning, chopping large branches or using it as a hammer — the profile and thickness are designed more for neat tasks.
The handle is made of wenge: Natural wood is resistant to moisture, but you should not allow prolonged contact with water or store the knife in humid conditions. To preserve aesthetics and durability, it is recommended to periodically treat the handle with mineral oil or a special wood compound.
Care recommendations
After work, be sure to wipe the blade dry, avoid prolonged contact with water and acids.
Periodically lubricate the blade with light oil to prevent corrosion.
Keep the knife in a dry place, and treat the leather sheath regularly with a water-repellent agent.
For the wenge handle, use special wood oils to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
To sharpen, use diamond or ceramic tools, maintain the factory angle.
