The exact characteristics and advantages of the design
The blade made of D2 steel is one of the most sought—after tool alloys for knives, characterized by high hardness (64 HRC), outstanding cutting resistance and good wear resistance. Due to its high strength, the blade retains its sharpness for a long time even with intensive use, which makes the knife indispensable in jobs where long-term, confident cutting without frequent sharpening is important.
The blade thickness of 2.4 mm and width of 26 mm provide an excellent balance between cutting and durability, allowing you to perform both delicate and medium-duty tasks. The blade length of 135 mm is universal: the knife remains maneuverable, but long enough for everyday and tactical needs.
Blade shape — Normal Blade (classic shape with a straight or slightly curved butt line and a fairly pronounced working edge) provides excellent cutting control and ease of maintenance, as well as practical for most household, hiking and hunting tasks.
The handle is made of wenge, an exotic wood species known for its durability and resistance to wear and moisture. It feels good in your hand, does not slip even when working with gloves or wet conditions. Nickel-silver elements give the handle a luxurious appearance and increase its reliability, as well as significantly increase its service life.
The leather scabbard provides secure fixation and easy carrying, protecting both the blade itself and the user.
Optimal application area
- Hiking and camping: Ideal for cooking over a campfire, slicing, small-scale woodwork, making pegs and other camp tasks.
- Hunting and fishing: Confidently copes with cutting game and fish, skinning and small cutting functions.
- Everyday and universal tasks: Thanks to the ergonomic handle, the knife does not cause fatigue during long-term operation, it is convenient for daily wear.
- Collectibles: The stylish combination of wenge and nickel silver, hand-made and premium materials make this knife a valuable specimen for connoisseurs of tradition and aesthetics.
Wear resistance, maintenance and environmental resistance
Resistance to moisture and corrosion: D2 is semi—rusting steel. It resists corrosion well, however, with prolonged exposure to moisture, dark plaque or spots may form. Wenge and nickel silver are resistant to moisture and changing climatic conditions, but require minimal maintenance.
Wear resistance and durability: The increased hardness and structure of D2 make it possible to keep sharpening for a very long time, which is especially important in hiking and field conditions, when sharpening can be difficult.
Ease of maintenance:Despite its high hardness, D2 lends itself well to sharpening on diamond or ceramic abrasives. It is recommended to clean the blade regularly and wipe it dry after work, sometimes using a little oil for long-term storage.
Features of handle care: Wenge does not require complicated maintenance — it is enough to wipe it periodically with a dry or slightly damp cloth, nickel silver can be polished to preserve its shine.
Limitations and what the knife is not suitable for
- Rough work: It is not recommended to use it for heavy impact loads (batoning large logs), or work with hard materials such as metal or stone.
- Sharpening without specialized tools: D2 steel is not so easy to sharpen with simple stones — you will need a diamond or ceramic bar to maintain its sharpness.
- Constant exposure to moisture and salty environment: For extremely humid/salty conditions, it is better to use fully stainless steels.
Recommendations: to whom and for what this knife is especially good
This knife is the best choice for lovers of high—quality items who appreciate handmade work and reliability of the material. It is ideal for hunters, tourists, anglers, as well as anyone who is looking for a versatile and practical tool for field and household tasks.

Important:To preserve the beautiful appearance and cutting properties of the blade, it is recommended to regularly clean the knife from dirt and moisture, store it in a dry place, sometimes use oil for the blade, and polish the nickel silver handle. Such care will ensure a long life for your knife and emphasize its prestige.
