Detailed analysis of materials and construction
Blade Steel — D2:D2 is a high—carbon tool steel with excellent hardness (the stated value is 64 HRC) and high wear resistance. This blade retains its sharpness for a long time, even during active use. D2 steel is known for its resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage, which makes it popular among professional knife makers. At the same time, D2 is semi—rusting steel: it has medium resistance to corrosion, therefore it requires basic maintenance (wiping after work, dry storage).
Handle material — wenge:Wenge is a noble exotic wood, famous for its hardness, scratch resistance and unique texture. The wenge handle is pleasant to the touch, resistant to moisture, non-slip even in a wet hand, and durable. Wenge wood is not only practical, but also gives the knife the status of a luxury product, which distinguishes it from mass solutions.
Blade design:The length of the blade is 148 mm, thickness — 2.4 mm, width — 32 mm: these are universal parameters for hiking, hiking, hunting and household use. The blade shape is Normal Blade: a classic profile without pronounced bending, ideal for straight cuts, planing, slicing, and performing a wide range of tasks. The handle length of 130 mm is designed for a confident and comfortable grip for a medium or large palm.
Scope of application: tasks in which the knife opens to the maximum
- Hiking: a versatile hiking assistant, it easily copes with both food preparation and household tasks in nature (planing, cutting ropes, sharpening pegs).

Advantages and limitations of the knife
- Advantages:
- Blade made of D2: unsurpassed wear resistance, keeps sharpening for an extremely long time.
- High hardness: ideal for cutting and planing hard materials.
- Wenge handle: pleasant to the touch, resistant to moisture and non-slip in the hand.
- Solid appearance due to the unique wood texture and leather scabbard.
- Universal blade shape: comfortable to use for both food and technical tasks.
- Limitations:
- D2 steel requires regular maintenance: the blade should not be left wet to avoid stains and corrosion.
- The hardness of 64 HRC is an advantage for cutting, but requires careful handling under high lateral loads (it is not recommended to use as scrap). Due to the length of the blade, the knife is not optimal as a specialized kitchen tool for filigree work (for example, peeling vegetables or fine cutting).
Care recommendations
- Wipe the blade dry after each use, especially in case of contact with moisture, acids or aggressive media.
- To preserve the decorative and tactile properties of the handle, periodically rub the surface with a special oil for wood.
- It is better to sharpen the knife with diamond or ceramic tools, given the high hardness of the steel.
- Not using a knife to chop bones or work with metal is not his profile.
