Blade steel: D2, hardness 64 HRC
The blade is made of D2 tool steel, one of the best materials in the midβrange price category for knives that must remain sharp and have high wear resistance. Due to the hardening up to 64 HRC, this knife is characterized by extremely high hardness, which guarantees long-term retention of sharpening even with intensive use. D2 contains a high percentage of chromium, which provides moderate corrosion resistance: the knife is more resistant to stains and rust than carbon steels, but requires regular maintenance in conditions of high humidity or in contact with acids.
Blade shape: Normal Blade, operating parameters
The classic shape of the blade (Normal Blade) with a straight butt is universal for most household and hiking tasks. The blade length of 148 mm is optimal for working on products, light cutting operations and precise manipulations. The 2.4mm thickness provides a balance between strength and ease of cutting, allowing you to perform both strength and delicate tasks without excessive weight.
Handle: Wenge
African wenge wood is appreciated for its deep saturated color, unique texture and high density, which, combined with the master's processing, provides a confident grip even in a wet hand. Wenge is characterized by good abrasion resistance and minimal moisture absorption, but requires periodic maintenance (for example, wood oil treatment) to preserve aesthetics and durability.
Dimensions and balance
The overall length of the knife is comfortable for most palms. The ergonomics of the handle is designed for a secure, comfortable grip, both with classic and reverse hold. Due to the moderate thickness of the blade and the comfortable wooden handle, the knife has an optimal balance.
Case: leather
Reliable leather scabbard ensures safe wearing and long-term protection of the blade from external influences.
Main tasks, advantages and limitations: the scope of the knife
Optimal tasks: household and camping use (cutting food, small cutting), camping trips, hunting (light cutting tasks), as well as as a stylish element of the collection thanks to the combination of D2 steel and a wenge handle.
Hand grip: The shape and material of the handle guarantee a secure grip and comfortable operation in dry and wet conditions.
Corrosion resistance:D2 provides good corrosion protection, but requires caution during prolonged contact with water and must be dried after use.
Wear resistance and durability: high hardness (64 HRC) and tool steel make the knife an excellent choice for long-term use without loss of sharpness.
Easy maintenance: D2 steel requires careful sharpening using suitable abrasives. It is important to clean and lubricate the blade in a timely manner.
Limitations: it is not recommended to use for heavy power work (batoning on wood, chopping bones) due to the high hardness and possible fragility of the blade. For long-term work in an aggressive environment (sea water, acids), careful maintenance is required.
