Detailed analysis of the characteristics and properties of the knife
Blade made of Damascus steel
The basis of this knife is a blade made of Damascus steel. The multi-layered structure forms a unique pattern and provides an excellent combination of high hardness (62 HRC) with elasticity and wear resistance. This steel demonstrates phenomenal sharpness, rigidity and long-term retention of the cutting edge. At the same time, Damascus requires minimal but regular maintenance: the blade should be wiped dry after use and periodically protected from moisture to prevent corrosion, as individual layers may not be completely stainless.
Handle material — birch bark
The handle is made of birch bark, an environmentally friendly, warm to the touch and very light material. Birch bark is appreciated for its high grip in the hand: even in wet conditions, the handle does not slip, and when gripped for a long time, it does not rub the palm. Additional comfort is provided by the ergonomic shape and handle length — 130 mm is optimal for most palms.
The shape of the blade is Spear Point
The universal shape of the Spear Point blade with its symmetrical geometry and pronounced tip provides excellent penetration and ease of handling the knife. The thickness of the butt is 2.4 mm and the width of the blade is 28 mm. It allows you to combine cutting and stabbing tasks, making the knife suitable for both fine and medium work.
Additional design features
The guard provides additional safety when working, preventing the hand from slipping onto the blade. The leather sheath reliably protects the knife during transportation and gives the product a complete, classic look.
Main applications, advantages and limitations
Optimal application:
This knife is perfect for tourism, hunting, fishing, as well as as a universal field and household knife. Due to its high hardness and sharpness, the blade is able to work for a long time without sharpening on wood, leather, products and ropes.
The birch bark handle makes the knife especially convenient when working outdoors, whether it's cutting trophies, preparing food, or doing minor chores around the camp.
The handmade aesthetics and unique damask pattern make the knife an excellent gift, a status accessory and a worthy exhibit of the collection.
Restrictions:
Damascus steel is prone to patination and can rust with prolonged contact with moisture. Therefore, for regular or rough use in a humid environment (for example, for constant fishing without the ability to quickly dry the knife), it is better to choose models made of completely stainless steels.
The shape of the Spear Point blade is universal, but for heavy cutting operations (for example, chopping bones) or heavy batoning in the forest, this knife will not be as effective — the thickness of the blade is designed more for cutting and stabbing tasks.
Unique moments that make the knife stand out
- Handmade and individually patterned Damascus steel — each knife is unique.
- The eco—friendly and warm-to-touch birch bark handle is optimal for long-term work and wet palms.
- Balanced blade shape: suitable for filigree work, precision injections, universal tasks in tourism and everyday life.
- High level of comfort and safety due to the guard and thoughtful ergonomics.
Care recommendations
For the long service life of Damascus steel, it is necessary to wipe the blade dry after each use, avoid storing it in a damp leather sheath, and lubricate the blade with a thin layer of oil from time to time. The birch bark handle does not require special care — if necessary, wipe it with a dry cloth, try to avoid prolonged contact with aggressive liquids.
Conclusion and selection recommendations
This knife is an ideal choice for connoisseurs of handmade, those who are looking for a versatile and reliable tool for nature, travel and collecting. It is worth choosing it if it is important: unique appearance, excellent sharpness and long service life of the edge, maximum comfort in the hand and aesthetics of natural materials. It is not suitable for those who require only stainless steel for continuous intensive work on water or for heavy cutting tasks. With careful care, this knife will become a faithful companion for many years to come and will be a worthy decoration for any collection.
