Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel — Damascus, laminated: Damascus steel is known for its exceptional beauty and complex structure, thanks to its many layers of heterogeneous steels. Damascus blades are valued not only for their unique aesthetics, but also for their practical properties: thanks to the laminate, a balance is achieved between high sharpness, flexibility and durability. A hardness of 60 HRC indicates excellent sharpening ability and outstanding wear resistance. However, it is worth remembering that such blades require careful care to avoid corrosion during prolonged contact with moisture .
Blade shape — trailing point: This blade profile is distinguished by the graceful rise of the butt line to the tip. This geometry provides extremely high cutting accuracy and convenience when working with food, meat and fish, as well as when peeling or thinning. The sharp rise of the tip facilitates easy penetration and cutting control, making the knife indispensable for kitchen tasks, hunting and butchering.
Handle — Karelian birch and carved bone: The unique combination of noble Karelian birch and carved bone gives not only aesthetic appeal, but also improved grip ergonomics. Karelian birch is famous for its durability and moisture resistance among tree species, and the carved bone provides comfort and additional roughness — the knife lies confidently in the hand even in conditions of high humidity or with gloves. This composition helps to control the tool during long-term operation.
Dimensions and structural details: The 155 mm long and 2.4 mm thick blade is optimal for precise and accurate cuts, providing a balance between maneuverability and reliability. The 35 mm width adds versatility: the knife can handle both small and larger cuts. The handle length of 140 mm guarantees a comfortable grip for most users. The leather sheath provides reliable storage and protection of the product.
