Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel: Damascus (HRC 62)
The blade is made of Damascus steel, characterized by high strength, wear resistance and aesthetic beauty due to the unique pattern on each surface. The hardness of 62 HRC guarantees a long period of maintaining the sharpness of the cutting edge, even with intensive use. Such steel withstands loads well, is resistant to deformation and retains its sharpness for a long time. However, Damascus steel requires regular maintenance to prevent corrosion: after use, it is recommended to wipe the knife dry and lubricate it with oil periodically, especially when stored in humid conditions.
Handle material: wenge and black hornbeam
The handle combines two noble materials: wenge and black hornbeam. Wenge is famous for its hardness, resistance to moisture and mechanical damage, and black hornbeam has an elegant texture that fits well in the hand even with prolonged use. This combination provides excellent grip, resistance to temperature changes and durability. The handle surface does not slip even in a wet hand, which is especially important for field conditions, tourism and cuisine.
Geometry and dimensions of the blade: trailing point
The blade is 150 mm long, 36 mm wide and 3.2 mm thick. It is made in the trailing point shape, popular among oriental knives, with a raised tip. This shape is ideal for thinning, precise cuts, slicing, and skinning, thanks to its high tip control and long cutting edge. The geometry ensures a smooth, "flying" cut and makes it easier to control the knife even in difficult tasks. The 3.2 mm thickness makes the knife reliable and provides a margin of safety when working with products of different densities.
Features of operation and maintenance
Damascus steel requires careful treatment: avoid prolonged contact with moisture, aggressive detergents, acids and salts. For a long service life of the knife, clean and wipe the blade after each use, keep the knife dry and periodically treat the blade with a thin layer of mineral oil. The handle made of wenge and hornbeam does not require special care, but to maintain a beautiful appearance, it is sometimes recommended to wipe it with special natural wood products.
