Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel — Damascus (hardness 62 HRC): The blade is made of Damascus steel with an outstanding hardness of 62 HRC, a high—strength material known for its excellent sharpening ability and pronounced decorative effect. Damascus combines layered structures, which makes this knife not only a working tool, but also a collector's item. The hardness of 62 HRC ensures a long service life of the cutting edge and resistance to wear even under heavy use, but requires careful handling to avoid chipping on very fine cutting.
The handle is wenge, all—metal construction: The handle is made of natural wenge wood, which has a dense texture and a deep, noble shade. Wenge is resistant to moisture and mechanical stress, is not susceptible to cracking and deformation. The all—metal construction gives the knife additional strength and ensures a secure hold even in difficult conditions - the knife lies securely in the hand, and due to the wenge texture it does not slip in either dry or wet palms.
The shape of the blade is the Trailing Point: The classic oriental shape of the Trailing Point is characterized by a curved, high-raised tip line. This geometry allows the knife to perform excellent cutting and milling work, especially on food, meat and fish. The blade length of 150 mm and width of 36 mm provide excellent maneuverability and ease of cutting, while the thickness of 3.2 mm provides a balance between strength and durability.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion, maintenance: Damascus steel has moderate resistance to moisture — due to its layering, Damascus is less susceptible to corrosion, but it does not belong to stainless steels. To preserve the appearance and operational properties, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry after each use and periodically treat it with protective oil. The wenge handle is resistant to moisture, but also benefits from treatment with special wood oils.
Wear resistance and easy maintenance: The high hardness of the blade retains its sharpness for a long time — the knife will have to be sharpened less often. However, to restore sharpness, you will need a high-quality abrasive, preferably a system with control of the sharpening angle. Care of the handle is minimal, it is enough to avoid prolonged contact with water and dry the knife after use.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
