This knife is made of Damascus steel with a hardness of 62 HRC — it is one of the best options for those who appreciate outstanding durability and long sharpness. Due to the complex structure of the multilayer damascus, the blade has not only a spectacular appearance, but also excellent retention of the cutting edge.
The handle is made of a rare combination of two valuable hardwood species: paduk and black hornbeam. Paduk is famous for its bright natural coloring, resistance to moisture and mechanical influences, and black hornbeam is characterized by its high density and pleasant texture, providing a confident grip. This handle fits comfortably in the hand, does not slip even in wet conditions, is resistant to wear and is not afraid of temperature fluctuations.
The blade thickness is 2.4 mm, length — 117 mm, width — 21 mm. This geometry and classic shape (Normal Blade) make the knife a versatile working tool for most everyday and "field" tasks. The symmetrical shape of the blade promotes precise, controlled cutting and makes it easier to care for the product.
Due to the combination of steel strength and ergonomics of the handle, the knife is especially suitable for hiking, universal household tasks, hunting and fishing. The blade perfectly copes with cutting food, cutting fish and meat, woodwork (for example, when harvesting kindling or making simple camping gear), as well as precision work (cleaning, milling, fine cutting)
.
Aesthetically and collectibly, the knife is particularly valuable due to the unique Damascus steel pattern and the expressive contrast of the handle. It is an excellent choice for connoisseurs of handmade, collectors and those who want to emphasize their individuality.
To preserve the beauty and working sharpness of Damascus steel, wipe the blade regularly after use, store the knife in a dry place, and avoid prolonged contact with moisture and aggressive environments. It is recommended to lubricate the blade from time to time with a special oil to protect it from corrosion. The paduk and black hornbeam handle is resistant to moisture, but it will not be superfluous to wipe the wooden part with natural wood oil every few months.
For sharpening, use high-quality water or ceramic stones to keep the cutting edge of the thin damask smooth and neat.
This knife is an ideal choice for true handmade connoisseurs, tourists, hunters, fishermen and collectors who value a combination of functionality, aesthetics and uniqueness. The complex properties of Damascus steel and an elegant wooden handle make it an excellent universal companion for most household and camping tasks, with the exception of extreme and power work. It requires slightly more careful maintenance than stainless steel knives, which justifies its outstanding personality and durability.
