Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
The blade made of Damascus steel is a fusion of strength, sharpness and expressive aesthetics. The use of Damascus guarantees the knife not only the individuality of the pattern, but also outstanding performance characteristics: the steel is characterized by increased wear resistance, high hardness (HRC 62), which ensures long-term retention of sharpening even under heavy loads. Thanks to this, the knife will serve the owner for many years without losing its sharp working qualities. However, like all high-carbon damask products, it requires protective treatment to prevent corrosion in conditions of high humidity.
The birch bark handle is a time–tested classic that embodies the Russian traditions of knife making. Natural birch bark fits perfectly in your hand: thanks to its porous structure, the material provides a warm, non-slip grip even when wet, which is especially valuable when working outdoors, hiking, fishing or hunting. The handle does not slip, softly dampens, is resistant to temperature fluctuations and is minimally susceptible to deformation.
The shape of the Normal Blade is versatile: a 120 mm long, 2.4 mm thick, and 34 mm wide wide blade is optimal for most travel and household tasks, from cutting food to small carpentry. This geometry ensures confident, accurate cutting, opens up opportunities for precise work and rough operations, and is not prone to getting stuck in the material.
The leather scabbard is another evidence of hand–crafted work and a focus on practicality: they securely lock the knife and allow it to be transported safely during any kind of activity.
