Technical specifications and materials
The blade is made of damask steel with an impressive hardness of 65 HRC, which guarantees outstanding wear resistance and the ability to maintain the sharpness of the working edge for a long time. The blade length is 133 mm, with a width of 32 mm and a thickness of 2.4 mm, which makes the knife versatile in use: powerful enough for complex work and at the same time maneuverable for precise actions.
The shape of the blade is a classic clip-point, characterized by an aggressive tip for confident piercing and a convenient descent for filigree cutting. This geometry is often used in universal hunting and hiking knives, and is also appreciated for its aesthetics.
The handle is made of three premium materials: micard, black hornbeam and Karelian birch. Micarta (composite resin with fabric) provides high moisture resistance, resistance to chemical and thermal influences — the knife is not afraid of any weather, and the handle will not crack and will not lose its appearance. Karelian birch and black hornbeam bring refined aesthetics, unique pattern and pleasant tactility to the handle, as well as improve grip on the hand.
A medium-length handle (125 mm) with a guard ensures a secure hold and prevents slipping during operation. The leather sheath protects the blade and allows you to comfortably carry the knife with you.
Optimal application
Due to the high hardness of the damask, the blade does not require sharpening for a long time and perfectly copes with cutting wood, leather, products, fabrics. It is an excellent choice for hiking, hunting, fishing, camping and outdoor activities: the knife is easy to cut, plan, suitable for cutting trophies and performing most household tasks in nature.
The pleasant shape of the blade with a pronounced tip makes the knife a reliable helper for jobs where piercing and precise cutting are required. The stylish combination handle makes the knife stand out from the collection plan — you want to hold it in your hands and show it to your friends.
Durability and care
Damask steel is known for its excellent wear resistance, but requires regular maintenance to prevent corrosion: the blade should be wiped dry after contact with moisture and periodically treated with oil. The handle made of mikarta is not afraid of moisture, but natural wood (Karelian birch, black hornbeam) will be grateful for the care of wood oil — this will preserve its beauty and structure for many years to come.
Sharpening damask is more difficult than with softer steels, but the long—term sharpness of the blade compensates for this - the knife is ready for active use without constant edits.
Limitations and specific tasks
The main limitation of damask steel is its predisposition to corrosion without proper care. When used in salt water, in a humid forest or in a kitchen with high acidity, special care and regular processing of the blade is recommended. The knife is not intended for rough batoning on knotty wood or heavy power scrap — hard steel can be more brittle due to hardening. For heavy household or power work, it is better to choose a knife with a larger thickness and less brittle steel.
Conclusion and recommendations
This knife is an excellent choice for handmade connoisseurs, collectors, hunters and tourists seeking a combination of beauty, durability and high functionality. It is perfect for those who are looking for a reliable and sharp tool for hiking, hunting and everyday use in nature, ready to follow the simple care of the damask blade. If you need a tool for extremely heavy work with rough processing, you should consider other options for thicker and less hard steels.
Care: wipe the blade after work, lubricate it regularly with oil, and periodically treat the wooden handle with protective oil, and the knife will serve and delight for many years to come.
