Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel — damask (hardness 65 HRC):
Damask steel is a legendary material with a centuries—old history, associated with unsurpassed sharpness and aesthetic beauty. The hardness of 65 HRC is significantly higher than most traditional knife steels, which provides exceptional cutting edge durability and high wear resistance. This blade retains its sharpness for a long time, even during intensive work. However, high hardness requires care: bulat can be more brittle than modern powder steels, so it is not recommended to use a knife for chopping hard bones, opening metal cans and other extreme loads.
Handle — black hornbeam and nickel silver:
Black hornbeam is a dense and moisture—resistant wood species. It does not absorb water, is not susceptible to cracking and retains an aesthetic appearance even with active use. The nickel silver inserts emphasize the nobility of the product and enhance the anti-corrosion protection of the structure at the attachment points, as well as ensure a comfortable and reliable fixation of the handle in the palm of your hand. The knife handle has excellent ergonomics and minimal slip even in wet conditions.
Dimensions, balance and handling:
The length of the blade is 142 mm and the thickness is 2.4 mm — the optimal balance between versatility and maneuverability. This is enough for most tourist and hunting tasks, and the relatively small mass allows you to perform precise work without feeling tired.
Scabbard — genuine leather:
The set includes a classic leather scabbard, which emphasizes the status of the original product and protects the knife during transportation and storage.
Corrosion resistance and maintenance:
Damask steel is resistant to wear, but requires regular maintenance. The climatic stability of hornbeam and nickel silver wood in conditions of high humidity is high, however, to preserve the flawless appearance of the steel, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry after use and periodically treat it with mineral oil. It is advisable to sharpen the tip and cutting edge with fine-grained stone or GOI paste, which does not require special skills.

- Ease of maintenance: it is sharpened with fine-grained abrasives, preventive edging is sufficient to maintain sharpness.
- Limitations: this knife is not intended for heavy metal work, opening canned food or chopping hard bones due to the possible fragility of the steel under strong dynamic loads.
