Detailed analysis of the characteristics and capabilities of the knife
Blade made of Damascus steel (hardness 62 HRC):Damascus steel is known for its unique combination of strength, flexibility and expressive aesthetics — each blade has an individual pattern. The hardness of 62 HRC guarantees high wear resistance and excellent sharpening retention: this knife retains its sharpness for a long time even with regular use, and the cutting edge is resistant to micro-chips and bluntness. Due to the ductility of Damascus steel, the knife is able to withstand significant loads, which makes it a reliable assistant in various conditions. However, it is worth considering: due to the high carbon content, Damascus steel requires regular maintenance to protect against corrosion and rust.
Drop Point blade shape (length 118 mm, width 31 mm, thickness 2.4 mm): Drop Point is one of the most versatile and practical shapes, perfect for various tasks: from cutting food to small household chores and butchering trophies on the hunt. Due to the smooth lowering of the butt line and the sharp but durable tip, the blade is perfectly controlled when cutting, it is convenient to use for thinning, skinning game, wood processing and other precision work. The thickness of 2.4 mm is optimal for a balance between strength and flexibility, and the length of 118 mm makes the knife versatile for hiking, household and tourist tasks.
Birch bark handle (length 122 mm): Birch bark is an eco—friendly, lightweight and traditional material for Russian knives with a unique texture and a pleasant, "warm" tactile sensation. The birch bark surface does not slip even in wet hands or at low temperatures, and the handle itself is characterized by excellent ergonomics and is held as securely as possible, reducing the likelihood of slipping. Thanks to its natural resins, birch bark is resistant to moisture, does not absorb odors and feels good even during prolonged work.
Leather sheath: Genuine leather protects the blade from external influences, ensuring comfortable and safe carrying of the knife both on the belt and in the backpack. The leather scabbard lasts a long time, looks aesthetically pleasing and emphasizes the status of the handmade product.
Optimal application scenarios
- Tourism and outdoor activities: a universal helper for cooking, small construction tasks, and stripping branches.
- Hunting and fishing: thinning, skinning, trophy cutting, precision work thanks to the controlled Drop Point tip.
- Everyday use: at home and in the countryside, this knife is indispensable for a wide range of tasks.

Care recommendations
After use, wash the blade by hand with a soft sponge, wipe it dry and apply a couple of drops of protective oil (vegetable or special for carbon steel blades). The birch bark handle does not require special care, but to preserve its natural appearance, you can periodically wipe it with linseed or mineral oil.
