Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade Steel: Laminated Damascus
The blade is made of high-grade laminated Damascus steel with a hardness of 60 HRC. Damascus steel is famous not only for its expressive aesthetics with a unique pattern, but also for its excellent performance characteristics: it combines the rigidity of the central layer and the viscosity of the outer layers, which makes the knife both sharp, durable and resistant to chipping. Laminating technology provides additional resistance to mechanical stress and increases the overall strength of the blade.
Due to its high carbon content and special structure, Damascus shows good wear resistance, keeps sharpening for a long time and is suitable for intensive work.
Blade Shape: Normal Blade
The classic blade shape of the Normal Blade type is versatile and was created specifically for solving a wide range of tasks: from hobbies and tourism to hunting and camping. The straight line of the butt and the balanced ratio of length (148 mm), width (30 mm) and thickness (3 mm) give this knife excellent handling, allowing you to make both precise and powerful cuts. The mold is ideal for slicing, planing, small-scale work, preparing food, skinning a trophy.
Handle material: A combination of Karelian birch and acrylic
The handle combines natural Karelian birch, an elite wood material with a beautiful texture and high strength, with acrylic, which adds a bright accent and moisture resistance to the product. This combination not only emphasizes the individuality of the knife, but also provides a reliable grip: Karelian birch is warm and pleasant in the hand, does not slip even in wet conditions, and acrylic inserts increase resistance to adverse environmental influences.
The ergonomic shape of the handle (length 135 mm) is comfortable even during prolonged work, reducing hand fatigue.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion
Damascus steel of medium carbon hardness requires regular maintenance, as it is prone to pitting corrosion during prolonged contact with moisture or aggressive liquids. Due to the acrylic in the handle and the laminated blade structure, the overall resistance of the knife to moisture is higher than that of most traditional knives made of similar materials, but regular oil treatment and drying of the blade is mandatory.
Durability, wear resistance, easy maintenance
Wear resistance is at a very high level: damascus keeps sharpness for a long time, and thanks to proper heat treatment and lamination, the blade can withstand significant mechanical loads. However, sharpening a knife requires care and preferably the use of water or oil stones so as not to disrupt the structure of the layers. The handle is easy to clean, and the resistance to dirt and moisture is increased, but it is better to be careful with strong mechanical impacts on the handle.
Scope of application: advantages and limitations
- Optimal tasks and areas:universal camping knife, outdoor food preparation, hunting tasks (cutting game, skinning), camping, fishing, daily use on trips and in everyday life. Aesthetics and handwork make the knife an excellent collector's item or gift.
- Confident grip:The Karelian birch and acrylic handle provides a secure grip in any situation, from wet to cold conditions. It does not slip out, it remains comfortable even with prolonged use.
- Limitations:It is not recommended for heavy power work, chopping and working with bones or hard materials — a blade of medium thickness (3 mm) is optimal for cutting, but not for impact loads. It should not be used in aggressively humid or salty conditions without special care.
- This doesn't fit:for opening canned food, metal work, rough opening of hard shells, as well as for survival in extreme conditions with minimal care of the knife.
