Analysis of knife properties and features
The steel of the blade is Damascus, hardness 62 HRC.Damascus steel is not only the aesthetics of a unique pattern, but also perfectly balanced working qualities. A hardness of 62 HRC ensures exceptional wear resistance, long-term retention of cutting edge sharpness and high blade strength. Due to its complex multi-layered structure, Damascus resists fine chipping well and withstands serious loads during cutting and planing. However, it should be borne in mind that despite its high hardness, Damascus is sensitive to improper operation: too intense lateral loads or work on very hard materials should be avoided in order to avoid chipping.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion.Damascus requires attention to care: although modern Damascus steels may contain elements that increase corrosion resistance, classic Damascus is prone to rusting during prolonged contact with moisture. It is recommended to keep the blade clean and dry, and periodically treat it with neutral oil.
Handle material — black hornbeam, end mounting.Black hornbeam is a valuable dense material with high hardness, low water absorption and abrasion resistance. This handle fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, does not slip even with wet hands, and the end mounting increases its strength and durability. The black hornbeam accepts engraving and polishing, preserving its noble appearance for many years.
The shape of the blade is clip-point. The classic shape of the clip-point blade provides excellent handling of the tip and versatility of the cutting part. Due to the fine note on the tip, the knife is excellent for precision work, trimming, piercing and cutting movements, and the significant thickness of the butt (4 mm) increases the reliability of the blade during power work.
Balance of size and ergonomics.The length of the blade is 133 mm and the handle 125 mm form a harmonious balance: the knife fits perfectly in the hand, allows you to work for a long time and without fatigue. The black color of the handle emphasizes the premium quality of the product.
Optimal applications and limitations
- The best tasks: hunting (cutting, skinning, precision work), tourism and bushcraft, universal use in nature, collecting, aesthetic enjoyment of the unique Damascus pattern.
- Not recommended:work on very hard materials (bones, metal, hard plastic), use as a mounting or scrap tool. During long-term operation in wet conditions (fishing, marine applications), careful maintenance is required to prevent corrosion.
Advantages and uniqueness
- Exquisite Damascus steel pattern — each piece is unique, perfect for a gift and collector.
- High wear resistance and hardness — long service life of the cutting edge without frequent sharpening.
- The end mounting of the black hornbeam handle provides increased durability, reliability and premium aesthetics.
- Ergonomics — the knife is perfectly held in the hand both with a glove and with a bare hand, it does not slip.
- The versatility of the clip-point blade is a combination of a delicate tip and a powerful butt.
Care and recommendations
- After work, be sure to wipe the blade dry and apply a light layer of oil (especially before long-term storage).
- The hornbeam handle is resistant to moisture, but regular cleaning with a soft cloth and natural wax treatment will keep it in perfect condition.
- For sharpening, use stones for hard steels, the sharpening angle is 18-22°.
- Avoid contact with aggressive chemicals and prolonged exposure of the knife in dampness.
Who is this knife for and the key findings
The knife is ideal for true handmade connoisseurs, collectors and those who are looking for a practical and expressive tool for hunting, hiking and camping tasks, as well as for universal use in nature. It is especially recommended for work requiring precision and control. It is not optimal for heavy installation work and long-term use in a humid environment without timely maintenance.
This is your choice if you are looking for a harmony of premium materials, exceptional aesthetics and professional working qualities of the knife!
