Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade made of Damascus steel (HRC 62): The machete is based on a 330 mm long blade made of Damascus steel with a hardness of 62 Rockwell. This alloy is known for its excellent wear resistance, long-term cutting edge sharpness and unique surface pattern, which adds not only practical but also aesthetic value. High hardness with proper heat treatment ensures excellent sharpening retention even during active use, and Damascus technology increases the resistance to chipping and fracture compared to homogeneous steels of the same class.
Handle material — wenge: Natural wenge wood is renowned for its hardness and durability along with its dense texture. The wenge is not subject to deformation when humidity changes, is resistant to mechanical damage and has a pronounced tactile "grip", thanks to which the machete is confidently held in the hand even when working with gloves or wet conditions. The unique natural wenge pattern gives each knife its own personality and emphasizes the value of handmade work.
Massive dimensions and ergonomics: The butt is 6 mm thick and 64 mm wide, accentuating the power of the blade, making it suitable for heavy woodwork, clearing thickets, and butchering large prey. The handle length (135 mm) is optimally balanced for a controlled swing, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use.
Genuine leather scabbard: The included leather scabbard provides reliable protection and safe carrying.
