Detailed analysis of properties and features
The steel of the blade is Damascus, hardness 62 HRC. This knife is made of high—quality Damascus steel with a hardness of 62 HRC, a combination of outstanding strength and wear resistance. The multi-layered damask structure provides not only a spectacular appearance, but also excellent cutting ability. Due to its high hardness, the knife retains its sharpness for a long time, suitable for intensive work on wood, leather, products and other materials that require clean and precise cutting.
The handle material is stabilized Karelian birch (blue) and black hornbeam. This combination of handle materials is the choice for connoisseurs of not only beauty, but also functionality. The stabilized birch is resistant to humidity and temperature fluctuations, does not deform over time. The black hornbeam gives the handle an elegant contrast and provides a secure grip. Even during prolonged operation, the handle remains pleasant to the touch and slip-resistant, which is especially important in conditions of high humidity or when working with gloves.
Blade geometry — Normal Blade, length 148 mm, thickness 4 mm, width 32 mm. The universal rectilinear shape of the blade (Normal Blade) provides an excellent balance between cutting ability and durability. The thickness of 4 mm guarantees high reliability and resistance to loads — the knife can withstand work on hard materials without risking chipping and breakage with reasonable operation. The blade length of 148 mm is optimal for a universal knife, it is enough for effective work in hunting, tourism and everyday life.
The sheath is leather. The high-end leather scabbard reliably protects the blade from moisture and mechanical damage, providing easy transportation and a stylish appearance.
Advantages and optimal conditions of use
- High cutting capacity due to the Damascus steel and the geometry of the blade — ideal for loin, precision and power work.
- Prolonged retention of sharpening:The hardness of 62 HRC allows you to keep sharp for a long time — a minimum of maintenance time.
- Steady grip and ergonomics: The stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam sit perfectly in the hand, eliminating slippage even with prolonged use.
- High moisture resistance:The handle made of stabilized wood and the reliable leather scabbard protect from dampness and temperature fluctuations.

Limitations and cases in which the knife is less effective
- It is not recommended to use it for heavy impact loads (cutting bones, metal, hard objects) — the structure of Damascus steel can be sensitive to sudden overloads. It is not intended for extreme tactical operation and opening of metal cans — it is better to use specialized knives.
- In case of prolonged contact with aggressive media (acids, salts), additional care is required: rinse, wipe dry, periodically lubricate the blade.
Care recommendations
- The blade: After each use, rinse and wipe thoroughly. To preserve the pattern and protect against corrosion, periodically apply a thin layer of neutral oil.
- The handle: It does not require complex care due to stabilization, however, prolonged exposure to water is not recommended. To maintain the appearance, you can use special formulations for wood.
- Sharpening: The sharpness should be maintained with medium and fine-grained stones, avoiding aggressive sharpeners so as not to damage the Damascus structure.
