Accurate analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel — Damascus, laminated:
Laminated Damascus is one of the elite steels that combines a multilayer structure with high hardness (60 HRC), which provides exceptional cutting edge stability and excellent wear resistance. Such steel is famous for its durability, it is able to keep sharpness for a long time even during active operation. Due to the laminate, the knife is less prone to chipping and microcracks compared to monolithic Damascus steels.
Damascus steel is traditionally associated with handmade work and special attention to quality — its visual pattern is always unique and aesthetically pleasing, which adds collector's value to the product.
The handle material is a combination of carbon fiber and Karelian birch:
The unique combination of composite carbon fiber and stabilized Karelian birch allows the handle to be both very durable, pleasant to the touch and aesthetically expressive. Carbon fiber provides high resistance to wear, moisture and mechanical stress, while Karelian birch gives warmth, classic texture and traditional character.
This handle fits perfectly in the hand, does not slip even with wet palms or gloves, and the optimal length (135 mm) allows you to confidently control the knife even during prolonged work.
Geometry and dimensions:
A “Normal Blade” with a length of 142 mm, a width of 28 mm and a thickness of 3 mm makes the knife versatile — it is perfect for medium-heavy work where precise and controlled cutting is required.
The dol on the blade not only gives the product personality, but also reduces the weight of the cutting part itself, increasing balance and convenience during prolonged manipulation.
Functionality and durability:
Damascus steel with a hardness of 60 HRC is not afraid of frequent loads, retains sharpening for a long time. Thanks to the use of carbon fiber in the handle, the knife is protected from most mechanical and weather influences.
Moisture resistance is high because both the Damascus steel and the carbon fiber handle with birch are resistant to moisture and corrosion (Karelian birch is stabilized, so it does not absorb moisture and does not crack).
Maintenance is easy: to maintain a perfect cutting edge, it is enough to periodically adjust the knife on the skin, and if necessary, it is easy to sharpen manually.
Genuine leather scabbard:
Aesthetics, ease of carrying and protection of the knife are combined thanks to the durable leather sheath.
