Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel: D2 (hardness 64 HRC)
The knife is made of D2 tool steel – it is one of the most resistant to wear grades, known for its excellent retention of the cutting edge. The hardness of 64 HRC indicates the highest strength and durability: the blade will remain sharp for a long time, even with regular work with hard materials (for example, wood, leather, textolite). D2 steel has good corrosion resistance for semi–rusting steels - the knife is protected from rust if basic care rules are followed. However, in case of prolonged contact with moisture or aggressive environments, it is recommended to wipe the blade and keep it dry.
Handle material: wenge
The wenge tree is a rare and noble breed with excellent wear resistance and high density. This handle combines the aesthetic appeal of natural wood with durability: wenge is resistant to mechanical damage, weakly absorbs moisture and is not prone to cracking. The wooden texture ensures a firm grip even in a wet hand or glove, and the pleasant-to-touch surface increases the enjoyment of use.
Blade Shape: Drop Point
The universal shape of the Drop Point (an elongated blade with a smooth lowering of the butt line to the tip) provides excellent cutting handling and high tip strength. It is an ideal choice for precision work, cutting, as well as household tasks. This blade is convenient for skinning, cooking, woodwork, and even basic hiking tasks, from cutting rope to planing pegs
.
Dimensions and construction
The optimal blade length of 123 mm with a thickness of 2.4 mm is a universal ratio for efficient cutting and durability. The compact handle (125 mm) fits in the palm of your hand as comfortably as possible and provides control over the cutting tool in almost any environment.
Durability and maintenance
Due to the high chromium content and hardness of the blade, the knife demonstrates excellent resistance to blunting even during intensive use. D2 steel requires minimal maintenance: dry cleaning after use and periodic sharpening. A properly treated wenge handle is resistant to moisture, but it is sometimes recommended to treat it with oil to maintain texture and color depth.
Features of the scabbard
The leather sheath emphasizes the status of the product and guarantees reliable storage and transportation of the knife, protecting the blade from external influences.
Application scenarios, advantages and limitations

- Security and control:Wenge provides excellent grip even in wet conditions, which is important for active and long-term outdoor use.
- Resistance to moisture and corrosion:D2 is resistant to corrosion, the leather sheath protects the knife well, however, careful care is preferable for working in conditions of high humidity (prolonged use in rafting, sea fishing).
- Wear resistance and durability:The maximum hardness of the blade allows the knife to be used for intensive tasks without the risk of rapid bluntness.
- Ease of maintenance:The knife can be easily sharpened on standard water stones and requires minimal effort to maintain the sharpness and appearance of the handle.
- Limitations:It is not intended for heavy batoning (chopping thick firewood with blows to the butt), power work on metal or brick, as well as for long-term work in seawater.
Unique advantages and historical heritage
