Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: Damascus steel (HRC 62)
The blade is made of Damascus steel, combining the beauty of a unique pattern with outstanding performance characteristics. The hardness of 62 HRC indicates high wear resistance: the knife keeps sharpness for a long time and does not require frequent sharpening, even with intensive use. Damascus steel is renowned for its elasticity and strength due to its multilayer structure, which minimizes the risk of chipping and breakage when used properly.
Handle: Birch bark
Eco-friendly birch bark material perfectly absorbs moisture and provides a secure grip even in wet hands or when working with gloves. Thanks to the natural texture of the birch bark, the handle remains warm and comfortable to the touch at any time of the year, which is especially valuable when hunting and hiking.
Geometry of the blade
The blade thickness of 2.4 mm and width of 30 mm ensure a balance between durability and good cutting ability. The clip-point shape sharpens the tip, allows you to confidently work both on food products and perform precise work: pruning, skinning, cutting fish and game.
Length and ergonomics
The blade length of 142 mm is optimal for universal use — from kitchen tasks to tourism. The 120 mm handle fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, allowing you to work for a long time without fatigue.
Wear resistance and care
Damascus steel with a hardness of 62 HRC perfectly holds sharpening and is not afraid of significant loads, but requires regular maintenance: wipe after use, store dry, periodically lubricate the blade with oil to protect against possible corrosion.
