Analysis of knife properties and features
Steel and Blade:The blade is made of Damascus steel, which has an impressive hardness of 62 HRC. This steel is famous for its unique pattern and excellent performance characteristics: high wear resistance, sharp and long-lasting retention of the cutting edge, as well as fracture strength. The blade thickness of 2.4 mm and width of 28 mm provide a universal geometry: the knife is strong enough for most household, tourist and hunting tasks, but it is not too bulky and perfectly controlled.
Handle material and ergonomics:The handle is made of natural birch bark — this material is famous for its soft, pleasant grip and anti-slip properties. Birch bark fits well in the hand in both dry and wet conditions, it does not "cool" the palm, regardless of the weather. The ergonomic length (130 mm) and rounded shape of the handle ensure a secure grip, which is especially important when working for a long time.
Blade Shape (Normal Blade):The classic shape of the blade (Normal Blade) is versatile and suitable for most tasks: from cutting products to precision woodwork and small household operations.

Moisture resistance and wear resistance:With proper care, Damascus steel exhibits high resistance to wear due to its high hardness, but it is not completely stainless. The blade requires regular maintenance: after use, it is advisable to wipe it dry and lubricate it with oil periodically. Birch bark as a handle material is not afraid of moisture, but to preserve its appearance and durability, it is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to water and dry the knife when wet.
Ease of maintenance: The high hardness of the steel ensures long—term retention of sharpening, however, blunting will require the use of high-quality abrasives - it is recommended to sharpen the knife with diamond or ceramic tools, observing the correct angle.
