The actual analysis of the properties and features of the knife
- Blade steel: laminated damascus with S390 core
The core of the blade is made of S390 powder steel, which has outstanding wear resistance due to its high vanadium and molybdenum content. S390 is considered one of the hardest steels for knives (hardness – 60 HRC), which ensures excellent sharpness retention even during long and intensive work. Laminated damask not only adds aesthetics, but also protects the hard core from shock loads.
The shape of the blade is a classic Normal Blade: a universal profile, balanced in sharpness and strength, suitable for most household and tourist tasks. - Handle material and construction: acrylic, mokume gane, scrimshaw
The handle is made using black acrylic, mokume-gane inserts (a unique “layered” metal that combines strength and expressive appearance) and a scrimshaw decoration — acrylic engraving with a Titanic theme. This combination not only provides a secure grip even in a wet palm, but also turns the knife into a real collector's item.
Acrylic is resistant to moisture, does not swell or deform. Mokume gane tolerates temperature changes well, and scrimshaw gives the knife a unique look. - Durability, moisture resistance and corrosion resistance
The S390 has good corrosion resistance, and the outer layers of Damascus may require minimal maintenance (timely wiping and lubrication). The handle made of acrylic and metals does not absorb moisture, is resistant to dirt, and is easy to clean. - Maintenance and care
Due to the high hardness of steel (S390), sharpening requires the use of diamond abrasives and some experience. However, due to the exceptional retention of the cutting edge, the need for such sharpening is extremely rare.
Blade care is limited to periodic cleaning and drying, especially after contact with aggressive media. The handle does not require any special maintenance. - Dimensions and ergonomics
The blade is 148 mm long and 3.5 mm thick and is well balanced for versatile work, from household tasks to hiking. The 135 mm long handle provides a comfortable and secure grip even in a glove or wet hand.
