Analysis of product characteristics and features
Blade steel: Damascus, hardness 62 HRC.Damascus steel is the choice of true handmade connoisseurs. Its multi-layered structure provides a unique combination of high strength, elasticity and aesthetic expressiveness: each blade has an individual pattern that emphasizes the exclusivity of the product. The hardness of 62 HRC guarantees excellent wear resistance and long-term retention of sharpness. Such parameters are especially valuable for jobs where a clean cut and wear resistance are required. However, it is important to remember that high hardness makes the blade less resistant to strong lateral loads and potentially more brittle under sharp blows, so the knife is not designed for chopping or picking movements.
Blade shape: Tanto. Tanto is a historical blade shape with a pronounced tip and a characteristic rectilinear geometry of the cutting edge. This architecture provides exceptional penetration and edge strength.: the knife cuts well and works precisely on hard materials. Tanto perfectly copes with cutting forward, opening packages, preparing animal skins, as well as with EDC tasks (every day carry—. However, due to the high angle between the main and secondary cutting edge, it is less effective for thin-slicing products, milling or for long smooth cuts.
Handle material: wenge.Wenge is a hard wood of African origin, which has increased moisture resistance, noble texture and resistance to mechanical influences. The wenge handle does not slip in the hand due to the natural structure of the wood, and also feels good even with prolonged use. Combined with a leather sheath, this knife fits securely and stylishly in your hand, ensuring safety at work and ease of carrying.
Dimensions and balance.The blade length of 170 mm (4 mm thick), coupled with the handle length of 145 mm, creates a balanced ratio for versatile tasks. The blade width of 31 mm guarantees additional bending strength and convenience when performing precision work.
Moisture resistance and maintenance.Damascus steel does not have full corrosion resistance like modern stainless steels, so it requires regular maintenance: clean and wipe the blade after work, especially after contact with moisture, and treat it minimally with protective oil or wax. Wenge wood is resistant to moisture, but it is also recommended sometimes to use special oils to care for the wooden handle.
Optimal tasks and applications
-
Daily Wear (EDC): Ideal for everyday tasks — opening packages, boxes, small household chores.
- Hunting and hiking: an excellent choice for butchering small game, preparing equipment, and working on wood and leather.

- Cutting and piercing: the shape of the tanto is optimal for spot work, punching materials, cutting forward.
Limitations and tasks that the knife is not designed for
-
It is not recommended to use it for heavy chopping, picking or working with bones — the high hardness and thin tip of the tanto are less resistant to strong lateral loads.
- It is not ideal for the kitchen — the shape of the blade is not designed for thinning, cutting large fish or slicing large volumes of food.
- It should not be used in conditions of aggressive moisture without regular maintenance.
Other features and advantages
- Exclusivity — each knife has a unique pattern on the blade thanks to the Damascus steel and hand-made finish.
- The wooden wenge handle is resistant to moisture and mechanical influences, retains its appearance and functionality for a long time.
- The leather scabbard in the set ensures safe carrying and stylish presentation.
- Ease of sharpening: Damascus steel with a hardness of 62 HRC requires the use of a high-quality grindstone, but it keeps sharpening well, which minimizes the frequency of maintenance.
Brief recommendation and conclusion
This knife is the choice for those who appreciate handmade work, premium materials and impressive aesthetics. It is ideal for hunters, tourists, collectors and connoisseurs of EDC tools who prefer pronounced individuality and efficiency. It is not recommended for heavy household chores and kitchen tasks.
