Blade steel D2 (hardness 64 HRC)D2 is a semi—alloy tool steel with a high degree of wear resistance and excellent cutting edge retention. A hardness of 64 HRC means that the blade remains sharp for a long time, even when working intensively on hard materials. At the same time, the D2 demonstrates excellent resistance to wear and mechanical stress, which makes the knife durable.
Handle: Karelian birch and carved bone (moose horn): The combination of Karelian birch and carved bone guarantees a unique appearance of each specimen and excellent ergonomics. Karelian birch is not only beautiful, but also pleasant to the touch, it absorbs shock well, and does not slip even in a damp hand. The carved moose horn adds aesthetics and enhances tactile sensations, as well as resistance to temperature and humidity fluctuations. This combination is appropriate in both dry and moderately humid environments, and the guard provides additional safety at work.
Blade shape: Normal Blade: The classic shape of the "Normal Blade" blade is versatile — it is well suited for most household, hiking and hunting tasks: cutting, cutting, planing. The descents and geometry of the blade allow you to confidently work with products, wood, leather, and even perform careful trimming
of materials.
Dimensions and balance: The length of the blade is 117 mm and the handle is 117 mm — classic proportions for a universal knife. The blade thickness of 2.4 mm provides a balance between durability and ease of cutting into the material. The guard protects the hand during force operations, reducing the risk of fingers slipping on the blade.
Scabbard: Leather: Classic leather scabbards securely lock the knife, protecting the blade and simplifying transportation. The leather scabbard emphasizes the handmade status and adds nobility to the product.
Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
However, it is important to remember that D2 is not completely stainless steel: it is resistant to corrosion, but requires minimal maintenance (drying and cleaning after working in dampness, periodic lubrication of the blade).
Optimal application and limitations
- Optimal tasks: tourism, hunting (cutting, preparing game), fishing, domestic use in nature and at home, wood and leather work. The knife will be a worthy addition to the collection thanks to the original design of the handle.
- Grip Features:Thanks to the texture and shape of the Karelian birch and moose horn handle, the knife holds securely in the hand and does not slip even in wet conditions or when working with gloves. The guard additionally fixes the arm.
- Moisture resistance and corrosion:The D2 is resistant to rust, but requires minimal maintenance: after working in damp conditions, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry and lubricate it periodically. Karelian birch is resistant to moderate moisture, but prolonged contact with water is not recommended.
- Wear resistance: The high hardness of the blade contributes to excellent wear resistance — the knife retains sharpening for a long time, even with regular use on hard materials.
- Ease of maintenance:D2 requires the use of diamond or ceramic abrasives for sharpening due to its high hardness. Effective maintenance requires care and proper tool selection.
- Limitations: It is not recommended for heavy cutting on bones or metal, as this may damage the edge. It is not suitable for prolonged exposure to aggressively humid environments without proper care, as well as for technical tasks associated with heavy lateral loads.
