Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel — Damascus steel, hardness 62 HRC:
The blade is made of high—quality Damascus steel with a hardness of 62 HRC, which ensures exceptional wear resistance and a long service life of the cutting edge. Damascus is famous not only for its aesthetically pleasing pattern, but also for its optimal combination of hardness and elasticity due to its multi-layered structure, which reduces the risk of chipping during intensive work. This steel holds sharpening perfectly and is suitable for long-term use with minimal loss of sharpness.
The material of the handle is birch bark with a guard:
The handle is made of birch bark, which has natural anti-slip properties. Even in wet conditions, the knife is securely held in the hand due to the birch bark's ability to effectively absorb moisture and create a pleasant, warm feeling when gripping. The guard provides additional finger protection, which is important when working with forceful cutting movements. The lightness and softness of the birch bark provide comfort even with prolonged use.
Blade Shape — Drop Point:
Drop Point is a versatile and one of the most sought—after blade shapes. The wide butt (2.4 mm) and smoothly descending butt line make the knife an excellent choice for most household tasks, cutting game and food, as well as tourism. The blade length (123 mm) and width (28 mm) provide a balance between maneuverability and sufficient penetrating and cutting ability.
Sheath — leather:
It is equipped with classic handmade leather scabbards — they provide comfortable and safe carrying, emphasizing the overall premium style of the product.

Restrictions:
It is not recommended for heavy power work on hard materials (for example, batoning, opening metal objects) — Damascus steel is hard, but can chip if handled roughly;
Is not designed for continuous operation in a humid environment without subsequent maintenance — Damascus steel, despite its above-average corrosion resistance, requires drying and lubrication;
It is not recommended to expose the birch bark handle to aggressive chemicals or prolonged soaking.
Knife care
After use, wipe the blade dry and lubricate it periodically with oil to protect the Damascus steel from corrosion.
It is recommended to treat the birch bark handle with wax or oil to preserve its structure and moisture resistance.
Sharpening: Damascus steel reacts perfectly to high-quality stones, sharpening lasts a long time, but in order to avoid chipping, it is recommended not to use electric grinders and coarse abrasives.
Final recommendation and key conclusions

The Damascus steel Falcon with a birch bark handle is especially important for those who are looking for a tool for universal use in nature, with maximum grip ergonomics and long—term sharpness - while being willing to pay a little attention to proper care.
