Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel D2 (hardness 64 HRC):
The blade is made of D2 tool steel with a high hardness of 64 HRC. This steel is known for its combination of exceptional wear resistance, excellent blunt resistance, and high cutting edge strength. D2 has enhanced anticorrosive properties among carbon steels, but requires regular maintenance, as prolonged exposure to moisture may cause slight darkening or spots.
Handle material — bubinga wood:
The handle is made of African bubinga, a valuable wood species characterized by high density, resistance to mechanical damage and pronounced texture. The bubinga tree fits perfectly in the hand, remains non-slip even with wet hands, giving the owner comfort and control over the knife in any conditions.
Normal Blade Blade Shape:
The classic shape of the Normal Blade is a universal solution for delicate and medium—sized jobs. Due to the straight back and symmetrical geometry, the blade provides an accurate and accurate cut, allowing you to easily handle most household, tourist and household tasks.
Dimensions and ergonomics:
The blade is 117 mm long, 21 mm wide, and 2.4 mm thick. The length of the handle corresponds to the blade (117 mm), which creates a perfect balance and comfortable grip for any palm size.
Leather sheath:
The classic leather sheath ensures reliable storage and transportation of the knife, protecting the blade from external influences and moisture.
Scope of application and unique advantages
Optimal tasks:
Ideal for tourism, hunting, fishing, camping, as well as household and household chores. Due to its high hardness and wear resistance, it is excellent for cutting food, planing wood, cooking around a campfire, small craft and carpentry work.
Grip convenience:
The ergonomic wooden bubing handle guarantees a secure grip in both dry and wet conditions, allowing you to confidently control the knife at any type of work. The wood remains warm to the touch even in cold weather, reducing the risk of slipping.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion:
D2 steel is resistant to corrosion compared to most carbon steels, but it still requires timely drying and the application of protective oil after contact with moisture. Bubinga wood has natural protection from moisture and is not prone to cracking.
Wear resistance and durability:
Very high wear resistance and the ability to keep sharpness for a long time even during intensive use. Due to the hardness of 64 HRC, the knife perfectly retains its cutting properties.
Ease of sharpening and maintenance:
Despite its high hardness, D2 sharpening requires high-quality tools (diamond-coated stone or professional systems), but retains its sharpness much longer than many other steels. To maintain the blade, it is important to clean it regularly and lubricate it with oil. The handle can be treated with wax or wood oil to preserve its rich color and water resistance.
Blade shape features:
The shape of the Normal Blade is universal — it ensures precision when cutting, cutting, and planing. It is not intended for heavy power work (batoning, cutting large branches).
Product limitations
It is not recommended to use a knife for chopping bones, heavy impact loads (batoning, chopping large branches), as well as in aggressively humid environments without regular maintenance — although D2 steel is resistant to corrosion, it is not completely stainless.
High hardness complicates the sharpening process in the absence of suitable equipment.
It is not suitable for concealed carry in urban conditions (the length of the blade exceeds the norms of some regions) and for spearfishing.
Brief recommendations and conclusions
If you are looking for a versatile work knife for hiking, hunting, fishing and daily tasks with premium steel and an aesthetic handle, the Cardinal D2 with a bubinga will be your reliable companion for many years to come. It will be especially valuable to those who appreciate cutting properties, a confident grip in any conditions and the uniqueness of handmade products. For collectors, this knife is also interesting due to its classic shapes and natural materials.
It is not recommended for heavy power applications and for those who are not ready to pay attention to the care of steel and wood. Careful care is recommended: after work, wipe the blade dry, periodically cover with protective oil, and the handle with special wood products. These simple steps will keep the knife in perfect condition and emphasize its unique handmade status.
