Detailed analysis of properties and characteristics
The steel of the blade is Damascus, hardness 62 HRC. The damascus used in this knife combines a multilayer structure with a high hardness of 62 HRC. This combination provides excellent wear resistance, long-lasting sharpness of the cutting edge and an impressive appearance with a unique pattern on the blade. At the same time, Damascus requires careful maintenance: steel is sensitive to moisture and can corrode without regular lubrication and drying.
The handle material is black hornbeam and stabilized Karelian birch. Black hornbeam is famous for its high strength and abrasion resistance, and stabilized Karelian birch is not only distinguished by its exquisite texture, but also due to stabilization it becomes significantly less susceptible to moisture and temperature fluctuations. It provides a reliable grip even with wet hands, as well as pleasant tactile sensations during any work.
The shape of the blade is Clip-point. The classic clip-point blade shape with a pronounced lowering of the butt line makes this knife versatile for most household, hiking and hunting tasks. The sharp tip makes it easier to work on fine piercing, precise cuts and filigree work, the carved geometry of the blade provides an excellent end cut.
Dimensions and construction. The blade's length of 133 mm and thickness of 4 mm ensure a balance between strength, control and maneuverability. The 125 mm long handle fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, and the leather scabbard guarantees safe carrying and storage.
