Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
-
Blade steel: Damascus steel (hardness 62 HRC)
The blade is made of multilayer Damascus steel with a hardness of 62 HRC, which guarantees remarkable sharpness and outstanding wear resistance, as well as high strength and service life. This knife perfectly keeps sharpening even during intensive use, which is especially important in the field. Damascus steel is known not only for its recognizable pattern, but also for its balanced performance characteristics: the blade is resistant to fracture and well adapted to cutting, but requires timely maintenance to prevent corrosion due to the presence of high-carbon layers.
-
Handle material: wenge and carved bone, moose horn insert
The handle combines two noble materials: dark wenge wood and elaborately crafted bone decorated with an elk horn insert. Wenge provides resistance to moisture, mechanical stress and wear, while bone and horn add originality and a unique appearance, adding tactile pleasure. The ergonomics of the handle ensures a secure grip even with a wet hand, and the thickening and guard protect against slipping during power work.
-
Dimensions and construction
The blade length of 149 mm and thickness of 2.4 mm provide the perfect balance between maneuverability and cutting strength. The blade has a universal shape (classic Soviet HP-40), optimal for cutting, stabbing and household movements. The 118 mm long handle fits almost any palm, and the leather sheath protects the knife when hiking and ensures comfortable wearing.
-
Resistance to moisture and corrosion
Damascus steel is resistant to moisture, but it is not absolutely stainless. To fully preserve its properties and aesthetics, it is recommended to wipe the blade after contact with moisture and lubricate it regularly with neutral oil. The wenge handle with bone inserts is resistant to temperature and humidity fluctuations, but the bone requires careful treatment.
-
Wear resistance, durability and maintenance
Damascus with a high hardness of 62 HRC keeps sharpening significantly longer than mass-produced knife steels, and a couple of passes through a ceramic or leather belt are enough to restore sharpness. The handle does not require special care, but prolonged exposure to water or exposure to an aggressive environment on bone elements is not recommended.
-
Features of form and purpose
The classic shape of the HP-40 blade provides excellent penetrating power, which makes the knife versatile: for field work, tourism, hunting tasks, cutting, cooking on a hike, as well as for collectors who appreciate historical heritage and traditional aesthetics. The guard protects the hand during piercing or forceful cutting.
