Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade Steel — Damascus:The Damascus steel blade is a harmony between aesthetics and outstanding operational functionality. Damascus is known for its complex multi-layered structure and magnificent pattern, which makes each knife a unique work of art. The main working properties of Damascus steel are high wear resistance and strength, which is excellent for heavy, prolonged loads. Damascus confidently holds the sharpening and, with proper care, lasts an order of magnitude longer than most knife steels. However, it is important to remember that Damascus steel requires regular maintenance and protection from moisture, as it is not stainless and can be corroded by prolonged contact with water.
The handle is wenge: Natural wenge wood is famous for its hardness, wear resistance and spectacular dark texture. The wenge handle fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, does not slip even at high humidity, which is especially important for long-term work in the field. Wenge is resistant to mechanical damage and has natural protection from moisture, but it is recommended to periodically treat the surface with special oils to prolong its service life and preserve its appearance.
Geometry of the blade: Machete No. 2 has impressive dimensions: blade length — 320 mm, width — 65 mm, thickness — 5 mm. This geometry is optimal for heavy chopping and cutting loads, and is effective when working with wood, shrubs, and large raw materials. The massiveness of the blade provides striking power and a deep cut, and the harmonious weight distribution promotes control with every movement.
