Precise characteristics and analysis of materials
This knife is made of Damascus steel, which has a high hardness of 62 HRC. This steel is famous for its layered structure: the alternation of hard and viscous layers provides not only a spectacular appearance, but also excellent wear resistance, as well as the ability to maintain the sharpness of the cutting edge for a long time. Damascus perfectly resists wear and deformation, but requires careful care to prevent corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity.
The handle is made of two elite types of wood: black hornbeam and Karelian birch (brown). Black hornbeam is known for its exceptional density, resistance to moisture and durability, which ensures a secure hold of the knife in the hand even when working in humid conditions. Karelian birch adds not only expressive aesthetics due to its unique natural pattern, but also pleasant tactile sensations. The length and shape of the handle (130 mm) are designed for a comfortable, reliable grip during long-term operation.
The blade has a Drop Point shape, one of the most versatile geometries in the knife world. This shape provides a powerful tip, high penetration and excellent control when performing delicate work. The butt is 3.5 mm thick and 27 mm wide, creating an optimal balance between strength and cutting properties.
The set includes a leather sheath that securely locks the knife and protects it from external influences, while maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the product.
Knife features and scope of application
Thanks to the combination of Damascus steel and an ergonomic wooden handle, this knife is ideal for a wide range of tasks:
Advantages and limitations
- Advantages:
- Damascus steel with high hardness — retains sharpening for a long time and is resistant to wear.
- The unique and ergonomic handle made of black hornbeam and Karelian birch is durable, moisture—resistant, and aesthetically expressive.
- The versatility of the Drop Point blade shape is suitable for most outdoor and household tasks.
- The optimal size balance is convenient for constant wearing and one—handed operation.

- Limitations:
- Damascus requires regular maintenance: after each use, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry and lubricate it with oil periodically to prevent corrosion.
- It is not intended for heavy chopping operations (for example, splitting large branches or bones) — due to the high hardness and features of Damascus steel, the cutting edge may chip if used improperly.
- It is not recommended to use in an aggressive environment (sea water, prolonged exposure to moisture) without additional protection.
Care recommendations
- After work, thoroughly clean and wipe the blade dry.
- Apply a thin layer of oil to the blade regularly, especially after contact with moisture or food.
- Periodically wipe the handle with a soft cloth; specialized wood oils can be used for the durability of the wood.
- Keep the knife in dry conditions, avoid long-term storage in a leather sheath with high humidity.
- For sharpening, use high-quality water or diamond stones, maintaining the original geometry of the cutting edge.
Summary of the final recommendation
