Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel: Damascus, hardness 62 HRC.Damascus steel is famous for its durability, unique pattern and historical heritage. A hardness value of 62 HRC indicates outstanding sharpness and excellent wear resistance: the blade retains cutting properties for a long time, even with intensive use. The special feature of Damascus steel is an excellent balance between strength and flexibility, which reduces the risk of chipping under load. However, due to its high carbon nature, the blade requires proper maintenance to protect it from corrosion.
Handle material: birch bark.The birch bark handle is an ideal choice for those who appreciate comfort, naturalness and reliable grip of the knife even in wet or cold conditions. The texture of the birch bark provides excellent grip, the handle feels good in the hand, does not slip, does not rub the palm, which is especially important when working for a long time.
Blade shape: Spear Point, length and thickness.Spear Point (spear shape) is a universal solution suitable for both injection and high—quality cutting. This geometry provides a strong, break-resistant tip and a wide, effective cutting edge. With a blade length of 115 mm and a thickness of 3 mm, the knife maintains a balance between maneuverability and reliability. The 26 mm width provides a powerful cut and easy movement control.
Premium materials and guards.In combination with the classic genuine leather sheath, the knife looks aesthetically pleasing, expensive and perfectly protected during carrying. The guard provides additional safety by preventing the hand from slipping onto the blade in extreme situations.
Optimal applications and tasks
This knife is optimal for active tourism, hunting, fishing and camping. It is perfect for cutting game, slicing food, making wood chips for a campfire, as well as for universal tasks in nature or at home. The high hardness of the blade makes it an indispensable tool where long-term sharpness is appreciated.
Thanks to the birch bark handle, the knife holds perfectly in both dry and wet conditions, preventing it from slipping even when working with a wet or frozen hand.
Advantages and limitations

- The guard protects the hand from injury.
- Limitations:
- Damascus steel requires maintenance: after work, the knife must be wiped dry, regular lubrication of the blade with neutral oil is recommended to prevent corrosion.
- High hardness makes the knife more difficult to sharpen: a high-quality tool is required for home editing. It is not intended for chopping tasks, heavy work on bones or metal objects — there may be a risk of damage to the tip.
It is not optimal for thin-sliced dishes (for example, fish fillets), where a different blade shape and length are required.
Recommendations for care and operation
To preserve the excellent appearance and durability of Damascus steel, the blade should be cleaned and wiped dry every time after use, periodically lubricated with a thin layer of mineral oil. It is recommended to store the knife in a leather sheath in a dry place. The birch bark handle is resistant to moisture, but for additional protection it can be treated with natural oil (for example, linseed oil).
Conclusion and brief recommendation
This knife is an ideal choice for discerning hunters, hikers and handmade enthusiasts who value aesthetics, functionality and reliability of the tool in nature. It is not recommended for heavy metal or bone work, as well as if it is not possible to provide regular maintenance of the blade. For collectors, the knife will become a special gem due to natural materials, hand-made and traditional heritage of Damascus steel.
