Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: Damascus, hardness 62 HRC
The blade is made of Damascus steel with an outstanding hardness of 62 HRC. Damascus is famous for its unique combination of strength and flexibility: numerous layers of metal provide high wear resistance and excellent retention of the cutting edge. Due to this hardness, the knife retains its sharpness for a long time even under intense loads, requiring less sharpening compared to most other types of steel. Damask's resistance to moisture and corrosion is at a high level, but for perfect condition, it is recommended to wipe and lubricate the blade in a timely manner, especially after contact with moisture or organic matter.
Handle material and features: Wenge with leather braid
Wenge is a hard and dense wood species that has not only aesthetic appeal due to its unique texture, but also high resistance to wear. The leather braid provides a secure grip even in wet or cold conditions, preventing slipping. Natural oil treatment additionally protects the handle from moisture and temperature changes.
Blade shape and size: Kukri, length 315 mm, thickness 4 mm
The kukri type blade is a historically famous blade used by Nepali Gurkhas. The curved shape and considerable width (60 mm) provide powerful chopping force at a short distance and make it possible to effectively perform both cutting and stabbing. The blade length (315 mm) makes the knife a versatile tool for working with wood, clearing, hiking tasks, cutting large products and even light carpentry.
Scabbard: Leather
High-quality leather scabbard conveniently locks the knife, ensures quick accessibility and protects the product during transportation. The leather is durable, gives the product status and reinforces the image of an exclusive hand tool.
Optimal application areas
This knife is especially good for the following tasks:
Limitations and potential disadvantages
- It is not suitable for precise delicate work — the curved massive shape is not optimal for filigree cutting, fine peeling of vegetables or jewelry work on wood.
- It is not recommended to use as the main kitchen knife for cutting small products — the weight and shape are designed for rough work.
- It requires careful maintenance of Damascus steel (especially in high humidity conditions) to avoid darkening or corrosion.
- The overall weight and size may be excessive for daily urban wear.
Care recommendations
To preserve the unique properties of Damascus steel, it is recommended to lubricate the blade regularly after use, clean it from moisture and dirt, and avoid prolonged contact with acids and salts. The wenge handle is treated for protection, but it should also sometimes be wiped with special wood oils. It is advisable to keep the leather braid and scabbard dry and periodically treat it with a skin cream.
Brief conclusions and recommendations
This knife is an ideal choice for nature lovers, hunters, hikers, and collectors who value handwork, exclusive materials, and maximum reliability in the field. It has outstanding cutting ability, strength and durability, but is not designed for subtle, precise tasks and everyday urban scenarios. The best choice for those who are looking for a versatile tool for harsh adventures and appreciate the combination of tradition and modern technologies for processing steel and wood.
