Detailed analysis of characteristics and properties
Blade steel — Damascus stone: The blade is made of Damascus steel with a “stone” texture, which has a pronounced aesthetic and high hardness (HRC 62). This steel has a multi-layered structure, which provides not only excellent cutting properties, but also a unique pattern for each product. Damascus stone holds a sharp edge well, allowing it to remain sharp for a long time, which is especially valuable when working with fibrous materials and wood. The hardness of 62 HRC guarantees excellent wear resistance, but requires careful handling when working with hard and abrasive materials to avoid chipping.
Blade Shape: The Normal Blade is a classic universal shape that provides excellent handling when working with both straight and precise cutting movements. This geometry is great for everyday tasks, cutting food, meat, as well as for handmade woodwork.
Dimensions: The blade length of 142 mm and a thickness of 2.4 mm make the Gadfly knife maneuverable, while providing a balance between strength and cutting accuracy. The width of 28 mm allows you to perform both strength and delicate work.
Bubinga Handle: The African bubinga wood is known for its hardness, durability and delicate texture. This handle is not only aesthetically attractive, but also resistant to moisture, fits well in the hand, does not slip even when working with wet hands.
