Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel: Damascus (hardness 62 HRC)
The blade is made of Damascus steel, characterized not only by its expressive pattern, but also by its high performance characteristics. The hardness of 62 HRC guarantees excellent wear resistance and a consistently sharp blade even during prolonged use. Damascus has a characteristic multilayer structure, which ensures good elasticity and durability of the blade, making it less prone to chipping during proper operation. However, Damascus steel requires regular maintenance — it is susceptible to corrosion with constant contact with moisture, so it is recommended to carefully wipe and lubricate the blade after work, especially in the field.
Handle: Black hornbeam and duralumin
The handle is made of black hornbeam, a valuable wood species known for its high density, moisture resistance and luxurious appearance. The black hornbeam fits well in the hand, does not slip, and gives pleasant tactile sensations even in cold or heat. Duralumin inserts add additional structural strength, keeping the overall weight of the knife optimal and providing balance. This handle is minimally moisture-absorbing and resistant to cracking due to temperature changes.
Blade Shape: Drop Point
Drop Point is a universal shape with a lowered buttline to the tip. Thanks to this geometry, the knife is ideal for most household tasks: cutting, planing, and even light cutting or thinning. The wide blade (31 mm) facilitates cutting control and allows you to conveniently perform precise movements. The 2.4 mm blade thickness balances durability and accuracy, and the 118 mm length is the optimal size for urban and field conditions.
Additional details
The handle length of 122mm provides a comfortable and secure grip for most palms. The set includes a scabbard made of high—quality leather, which not only provides stylish storage, but also additional protection from external influences.

Care recommendations
To maintain the perfect condition of the knife, it is recommended to wipe the blade regularly after use, especially in conditions of high humidity. Use a light oil to protect against corrosion. The handle made of black hornbeam does not require complicated maintenance — it is enough to avoid prolonged exposure to water and wipe it with a soft cloth from time to time. It is not recommended to use aggressive cleaning agents. Leather scabbards should also be kept dry, avoiding prolonged wetting.
