Actual analysis of properties and features

Blade steel: Laminated Damascus
The blade is made of laminated Damascus steel with a hardness of 60 HRC, which provides excellent wear resistance and a long service life of the cutting edge. Due to its multi—layered structure, Damascus demonstrates not only outstanding mechanical properties, but also a unique aesthetic - a unique pattern on metal. Such steel perfectly holds sharpening even with active use, but requires proper care to prevent corrosion: it is advisable to avoid prolonged contact with moisture, timely clean and lubricate with oily products. -
Handle material: Karelian birch
The handle made of natural Karelian birch is a classic that combines durability, moisture resistance and exceptional appearance. The wood traditionally used on northern knives fits well in the hand, does not slip even in wet conditions, has a moderate density and a pleasant texture. This handle provides a reliable grip and comfort during long-term operation, as well as is resistant to temperature fluctuations and light mechanical influences. -
Blade Shape: Normal Blade
The classic shape of the Normal Blade with a trigger from the butt is ideal for universal use. This geometry makes it easier to control the tool, provides a smooth, neat cut and increased edge strength. The blade thickness of 4 mm and the width of 32 mm make the knife suitable for both strength tasks (cutting, planing) and precision operations (cutting, thinning). -
Dimensions and balance
The total length of the knife is just over 28 cm (blade 148 mm, handle 135 mm) — optimal parameters for convenience in both field and household use. The compact design and ergonomics of the handle ensure good control even with gloves and difficult grips. -
Scabbard: Leather
Classic leather scabbards securely lock the knife, protect it from accidental damage and simplify carrying in hiking and hunting conditions.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
-
Optimal tasks:
A versatile working knife for hiking, hunting, fishing, as well as household and minor construction work in the field. Thanks to the robust geometry of the blade and high-grade steel, it will perfectly cope with cutting game, slicing food, planing wood or even a light chopping action. -
Grip grip and safety:
Karelian birch guarantees a secure hold, minimizes the risk of slipping even when wet. The texture of the wood is pleasant to the touch and does not rub the palm during prolonged work. -
Resistance to moisture and corrosion:
Damascus steel requires regular maintenance: after work, rinse, wipe dry, and periodically use protective oil. Karelian birch is resistant to moisture, but the wood always needs rough handling and sometimes it needs to be treated with special wax or oil. -
Durability and structural strength:
High hardness (60 HRC) and multi-layered damask demonstrate excellent wear resistance, flexural strength and durability of the cutting edge. The blade is not prone to blunting quickly, but it is recommended to use high-quality stone for sharpening, preferably with fine grain for finishing. -
Restrictions:
It is not suitable for heavy power work, such as chopping thick branches, chopping bones, opening metal cans — excessive loads can damage the cutting edge or the laminated surface. It is not recommended to use in conditions of aggressive humidity without regular maintenance (sea trips, marshy terrain without the ability to dry and handle a knife). -
Care features:
Damascus requires timely cleaning and prevention of rust. Karelian birch — careful treatment, periodic wax/oil treatment, and when wet— drying away from strong heat sources.
Unique properties and historical context
-
Uniqueness of the product:
Each knife is unique due to the unique Damask pattern and the natural Karelian birch pattern. The handmade work of the master guarantees not only high quality, but also a special aesthetic appearance — the knife is equally appropriate both in the collection and in active use. -
Traditions and heritage:
Knives with handles made of Karelian birch are part of the northern knife culture, known for its reliability and practicality. Laminated damascus is a direct continuation of the traditions of ancient blacksmiths, combining art and functionality.
Summary of the final recommendation
This knife is designed for handmade connoisseurs, aesthetes, tourists, hunters and collectors who value not only the functionality, but also the individuality of the tool. It is optimal for hiking, hunting, fishing, everyday life and simple household work, provided regular care and careful use. It is not the best choice for heavy "survival" and operations requiring maximum corrosion resistance — such a scenario will require a different type of steel and construction.
If you are looking for a knife with character, history and outstanding user properties, this choice is worthy of your attention. Care recommendation: after each use, clean and dry the blade, store it in a dry place, and periodically treat the handle with natural oil.
