Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: Damascus steel (HRC 62)
The blade is made of Damascus steel with a hardness of 62 HRC, which is an outstanding indicator for small knives. Damascus steel is famous for its layering: This is not only a unique pattern on the blade, which makes each piece unique, but also an excellent balance between wear resistance and hardness. Due to its high hardness, the Kid-1 knife retains the sharpness of the cutting edge for a long time, and the Damascus structure prevents the rapid appearance of chips and cracks when used carefully.
Handle material: Karelian birch and white acrylic
The Karelian birch handle, accentuated by decorative inserts of white acrylic, is a unique combination of natural aesthetics, tactile pleasantness and reliability. Karelian birch is appreciated for its original pattern, resistance to wear and pleasant sensations in the hand. The addition of acrylic not only enhances the decorative effect, but also increases the handle's resistance to moisture, preventing the wood from swelling and cracking.
Ergonomics and retention
Due to its compact size (blade length 70 mm, handle length 90 mm), the knife fits perfectly in the hand, and the well-treated surface of Karelian birch with acrylic is securely held in both dry and wet palms. The guard additionally protects the fingers and ensures safe use even when working with small parts.
Blade shape and thickness
With a thickness of 2.4 mm and a width of 15 mm, the narrow and sharp blade is optimal for precise, delicate work — from filigree wood carving to small household operations. The classic shape of the blade with fine stitching guarantees a neat cut.
Moisture resistance and corrosion resistance
Damascus steel requires careful treatment — regular wiping and drying after use in a humid environment, especially when in contact with products, to avoid corrosion. Acrylic is resistant to moisture, protecting the wood, but Karelian birch itself, like any natural wood, needs periodic oil treatment or specialized formulations.
Wear resistance, durability, care
Due to its high hardness, the knife is designed for long-term use without frequent sharpening. However, when working with very hard or bony materials, there is a risk of discoloration. For care, it is recommended to use only specialized tools for sharpening and processing Damascus steel, as well as periodically lubricate the blade.
Optimal application area and limitations
Optimal tasks:
- Fine woodwork, handicrafts, carvings.
- Minor household tasks — opening packages, planing, cutting non-solid materials.
- Design of the collection: unique aesthetics of Damascus, noble handle.
- A gift for a connoisseur of handmade work.
- It is not recommended to use it for strength work, bone cutting, or heavy hiking tasks — the thin blade and high hardness are not designed for impact and rough loads.
- Unsuitable for cutting large carcasses or working with hard bones — there is a risk of damage to the cutting edge.
- It requires regular maintenance and is not intended for prolonged exposure to humid or aggressive environments without protection.
