Detailed analysis of the characteristics and properties of the knife
Blade steel D2 is a high carbon tool steel with excellent wear resistance and impressive hardness (64 HRC). Due to these characteristics, the blade perfectly keeps sharpening even during intensive use, which is especially valuable for those who appreciate the durability of the cutting edge. D2 steel has good corrosion resistance among tool steels, however, it requires thorough maintenance to be sure in an aggressive, humid environment: periodic wiping and applying protective oil to the blade will help avoid stains and rust.
The handle material is Wenge, an exotic wood known for its hardness, density and resistance to moisture, as well as its expressive texture. The handle does not slip in a wet hand and provides a firm grip in both thin and large palms, even during prolonged work. The wenge visually stands out with its deep noble shade and unique woody structure, which gives the knife a statuesque appearance and emphasizes its handiwork.
Blade shape: Normal Blade with a straight butt line and pronounced tip provides versatility. With a blade length of 150 mm and a thickness of 2.4 mm, the perfect balance between cutting ability, control and bending strength is achieved. This geometry is optimal for precision work, cutting, planing, food preparation, and small-scale handicrafts both in the field and in the household.
Scope of application: optimal tasks and constraints
Tourism, hunting, fishing: a reliable all-rounder for cooking, small woodwork, cutting small game and fish. The leather of the scabbard provides easy transportation and additional protection.
Kitchen and daily use: copes with most tasks of slicing, chopping, peeling vegetables and fruits.
Collector's item: natural wenge and careful handwork make the knife a valuable exhibit in any collection of original knives.
Limitations: it is not suitable for complex power work (breaking bones, using as a tire iron), as well as for long—term work in an aggressively wet or marine environment - D2 steel requires maintenance in case of prolonged moisture. For marine expeditions or cutting large bones, it is better to choose specialized models with a different shape and a larger blade thickness.
Knife advantages and unique features
Outstanding wear resistance: a hardness of 64 HRC guarantees long-lasting “sharpness” even under daily stress.
Aesthetics and exclusivity: the wenge handle is a marker of individuality and manual labor, emphasizing the status of the owner.
The universal shape of the blade: allows you to easily work with both products and wood, perform filigree and rough operations.
Comfortable grip: the handle does not slip, does not cause fatigue even during prolonged operation.
Easy maintenance: regular straightening preserves working properties, and D2 steel does not require frequent sharpening due to its high hardness.
Care recommendations
To maintain the perfect appearance and working properties of the blade, we recommend wiping the blade with a dry cloth after use and regularly lubricating it with mineral or special oil. The wenge handle is resistant to moisture, but to preserve its rich color and structure, you can rub it every few months with wax or a special natural wood cleaner. Keep the knife in a leather sheath in a dry place.
Conclusion and brief recommendation
A knife with a D2 steel blade and a wenge handle is the choice for those who appreciate reliability, aesthetics and functionality in a classic design. It will become a reliable companion when hiking, fishing, in the kitchen or in the collection. It is especially suitable for fans of universal solutions and those who are looking for a durable knife for daily tasks. For extremely wet conditions or heavy power work, it is recommended to consider specialized models.
