Technical analysis: steel, handle, blade
Blade steel: Damascus steel with a hardness of 60 HRC stands out not only for its impressive appearance due to its rich pattern of layers, but also for its excellent combination of strength, elasticity and durability of the cutting edge. This hardness provides the knife with excellent wear resistance: the blade remains sharp for a long time, even with intensive use. However, like any Damascus steel, it requires careful care — the material is susceptible to corrosion if stored improperly, especially in a humid environment, so it is important to keep the blade dry and apply oil periodically.
Handle: The combination of acrylic and Karelian birch makes the handle truly unique. Karelian birch is known for its magnificent texture and warmth, the material is pleasant in the hand and does not slip even with wet palms. Acrylic inserts give the product a modern look and increase the handle's resistance to moisture and dirt. This symbiosis of materials provides excellent ergonomics and aesthetic expressiveness.
Blade shape: Trailing point is a classic choice for those who value versatility and precision. Due to the raised blade tip, this blade is ideal for complex cuts, thinning, skinning and other jobs where delicacy and control of the cutting edge are important. The 2.4mm thickness provides a good balance between strength and ease of cutting, and the 155 mm blade length is versatile enough to work both in the kitchen and outdoors.
Scope and limitations
The knife opens perfectly in hunting and fishing — it is ideal for cutting, thinning, skinning. It will be appreciated by lovers of tourism, bushcraft and picnics: the cutting properties and the convenience of the grip allow you to confidently work with food and cook food in camping conditions. Due to aesthetics and materials, it can take its rightful place in the collection. However, this knife is not recommended for heavy work requiring a high impact load (chopping wood, opening bones, batoning) — the shape of the trailing point is not designed for such tasks, and Damascus steel is sensitive to excessive lateral loads.
Advantages and unique features of the knife

Restrictions: It is not recommended for heavy loads, chopping, batoning and work on hard materials. It requires regular maintenance to prevent corrosion. It should not be washed in the dishwasher.
Care recommendations
- Wipe the blade dry after each use, and store the knife in a dry place.
- Periodically apply a thin layer of mineral oil to the blade to protect it from corrosion.
- It is enough to wipe the handle with a damp cloth, avoiding prolonged contact with water — thanks to acrylic and birch, it is resistant to moisture absorption.
- Keep the knife in a leather sheath, but do not leave the blade in wet conditions.
Conclusion and recommendations
