Detailed analysis of the characteristics and properties of the knife
Blade steel: Damascus (hardness 62 HRC)
The blade of the knife is made of Damascus steel with a high hardness of 62 HRC. This alloy is known for its expressive structure and excellent operational qualities. Due to its layering, Damascus has outstanding strength, excellent cutting edge retention, and high wear resistance. The hardness of 62 HRC ensures long—lasting sharpness even during intensive use, but requires care under side loads - too much impact or twisting can damage the thin cutting edge. Damascus steel has good corrosion resistance, but not absolute: after use, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry and avoid prolonged contact with moisture.
Handle: carved bone, black hornbeam, moose horn with engraving
The handle combines carved bone, noble black hornbeam wood and uniquely engraved elk horn inserts. This design provides not only a striking appearance with a pronounced personality, but also ergonomics — the handle fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, holds well even with gloves and wet conditions. The black hornbeam gives strength and moisture resistance, the elk horn adds tactile qualities, and the bone carving is an exquisite aesthetic accent emphasizing the handiwork.
Blade Geometry: Normal Blade
The classic shape of the “Normal Blade" with a length of 148 mm and a thickness of 3.5 mm is universal: its optimal width and length make the knife suitable for most household, tourist and hunting tasks. This geometry is good for precise cutting, cutting game, working on food and wood. However, the profile and thickness of the blade are not intended for excessively heavy work (for example, chopping bones or using it as a machete).
Completeness and materials:
A leather sheath is attached to the knife, which reliably protects the product during transportation and storage, while maintaining its original appearance.
Ease of maintenance:
Due to the hardness and structure of Damascus steel, the knife retains its sharpening for a long time. If necessary, it is recommended to use professional musats or water stones of medium grain; regular prevention and timely maintenance guarantee a long service life of the blade.
To preserve the handle, it is important to avoid prolonged contact of bone and horn with moisture, and periodically wipe the handle with special oils for wood and bone.
