Detailed analysis of the characteristics and properties of the knife
Wavy damask blade
The blade is made of high carbon damask with a characteristic wavy pattern, which gives the knife not only an exquisite appearance, but also provides excellent wear resistance. The hardness of the blade at 62 HRC guarantees high resistance to bluntness: the knife retains its sharpness for a long time even with intensive use. Due to the unique structure of the Damascus steel, the blade combines excellent strength with a certain flexibility — this significantly reduces the risk of chipping when used correctly.
The shape of the blade is Normal Blade
The classic shape of the Normal Blade is universal for most household and field work. Due to the good balance of length (148 mm), width (32 mm) and thickness (2.4 mm), this blade is effective for cutting, incision and small woodwork. It does a good job of cutting food and precise movements, and provides control throughout the entire cut. However, for jobs requiring powerful punctures or heavy-duty impact loads, the mold may be less effective.
Handle: wenge and acrylic, with guard
The combination of natural wenge wood and acrylic makes the handle not only aesthetically appealing, but also practical. Wenge is characterized by high density and wear resistance, pleasant tactility, and acrylic adds moisture resistance, preventing the wood from swelling from moisture. The handle fits well in the hand, does not slip due to the texture of wenge and the smoothness of acrylic — the knife is comfortably held even in wet conditions. The guard protects the fingers from slipping on the blade, especially important when working with hard materials or wearing gloves.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion
Damascus steel is a material that requires some care: despite its decorative and strength advantages, it is less resistant to corrosion than modern stainless alloys. However, the presence of acrylic in the handle design increases the moisture protection of this part of the knife. For the blade, it is recommended to wipe and wipe dry after work, especially after contact with acid-containing products and moisture.
Durability and ease of sharpening
Due to the hardness of 62 HRC and the special properties of Damascus, the knife retains its sharpness for a long time. Regular straightening on the skin is sufficient to maintain sharpness, and more serious sharpening may require the use of high-quality water or diamond stones. Proper care will significantly increase the service life of the cutting edge.
