Detailed analysis of knife properties
Blade steel: Damascus, hardness 62 HRC
The blade made of Damascus steel is a synthesis of aesthetics and modern working qualities. Due to its multi-layered structure, Damascus is characterized by high strength and excellent wear resistance, which allows the blade to keep sharpening even during prolonged use. The hardness of 62 HRC provides excellent cutting edge durability: the knife stays sharp for a long time, allowing it to work on dense organic materials (for example, leather, wood, meat). At the same time, Damascus steel requires minimal regular maintenance to prevent corrosion: it is important to wipe and store the knife in a dry state, since, despite its strength, Damascus does not have complete stainless protection.
Handle material: birch bark
Birch bark is a traditional Russian knife material with a number of unique properties. The birch bark handle is pleasant to the touch, does not slip even in a wet hand, and due to its structure and natural warmth, it holds perfectly during prolonged work in the cold season or under high loads. This material minimizes the risk of corns, quickly regains its shape after compression and is durable with proper care.
Blade Shape: Normal Blade
The classic universal shape of the Normal Blade ensures simplicity and efficiency in various types of work, from planing and slicing to precise cutting operations. A blade of medium length (127 mm) and thickness (3 mm) guarantees a good balance between control, strength and penetration. It is suitable for universal cutting, household and field tasks.
Scabbard: genuine leather
The classic leather scabbard provides reliable blade protection and safe carrying. Genuine leather emphasizes the status of the handmade product and the convenience of daily use.
Scope of application and main advantages

- Holding comfort: The birch bark handle provides a secure grip in all weather conditions, minimizes the risk of slipping or chafing, which is especially valuable when hunting and fishing. Resistance to moisture and corrosion:Damascus steel is resistant to wear, but requires regular maintenance to prevent rust. Birch bark has its own moisture-proof properties, but requires preventive maintenance.
