Characteristics and properties
Blade: made of Damascus steel with a hardness of 62 HRC, 2.4 mm thick and 70 mm long. Damascus steel is famous not only for its beauty, expressed in a unique pattern, but also for its outstanding cutting properties. Due to its high hardness, the blade keeps sharpening for a long time without requiring frequent maintenance. At the same time, Damascus is extremely resistant to wear, perfectly copes with small and medium-sized tasks, without losing its sharpness even with regular use. However, the design features of the Damascus require careful maintenance: the blade does not tolerate an aggressive humid environment and requires regular drying and lubrication after use — this will protect it from corrosion and preserve the brightness of the pattern.
Handle: combines natural Karelian birch with acrylic (green accent). Karelian birch is known for its durability and unique texture, which emphasizes handmade work and gives each knife its own unique pattern. Acrylic inserts not only add personality to the product, but also protect the wood from moisture, preventing deformation and cracking. The 90 mm long handle is compact, ergonomic, fits well in the palm of your hand and provides a secure grip even with a wet hand. This is especially true when working in the field or in the kitchen, where grip safety is of paramount importance.
Cutting properties:The relatively short length and width of the blade (70×15 mm) make this knife extremely maneuverable, convenient for precise and delicate work, where absolute control of movement is important.
Application areas: optimal tasks and constraints
Optimal use: The knife is ideal for everyday tasks (EDC), precision handwork, modeling, wood carving and food handling (peeling vegetables, fruits, preparing small ingredients). Pocket dimensions allow it to be used as an auxiliary knife in hiking, fishing, hunting — it is indispensable for delicate operations.: skinning small game, slicing food around the campfire, opening packages, and working with parts.
Restrictions: the knife is not designed for heavy work such as chopping, planing large branches or butchering large game. Damask, despite its hardness, can get chipped on the cutting edge if handled roughly. It is not recommended to use it for opening bones, opening metal or hard packaging, as well as for working in an aggressively humid environment without subsequent maintenance.
