Blade steel: D2 is one of the most popular premium tool steels. The D2 blade is characterized by high hardness (HRC 64), which ensures exceptional wear resistance of the cutting edge and long-term sharpness even under intense load.
Blade shape: Normal Blade is a versatile profile ideal for most jobs, from precise cutting to careful planing. The well-thought-out ratio of the length (143 mm) and width (30 mm) of the blade makes the knife convenient for working on both products and wood or leather.
Butt thickness: 2.4 mm β the golden mean between cutting and durability. The blade remains maneuverable without losing reliability under moderate loads.
Handle: Wenge is a hard, hardβwearing exotic wood with an expressive texture that provides a reliable and comfortable grip in all conditions. Wenge is not only aesthetically attractive, but also resistant to moisture.
Handle length: 130 mm - optimal for medium and large palms, securely fixed in the hand, preventing slipping even in wet conditions.
Scabbard: Leather is a classic solution for transportation and storage, which helps preserve the cutting edge.

Advantages and limitations
Advantages:
D2 steel with a hardness of 64 HRC will ensure a long service life without the need for frequent sharpening β an excellent choice for long hikes and intensive work.
The wenge handle guarantees a secure grip even with wet hands, is resistant to temperature fluctuations, and does not lose its appearance during operation.
The shape of the blade is versatile β it is suitable for most household and field tasks, it is easily controlled by both rough and delicate work.
The leather scabbard is comfortable to wear on the belt and protects the blade from scratches and moisture.
Limitations:
Although D2 steel is resistant to wear, it is not completely stainless. Prolonged exposure to moisture is not recommended. After work, it is necessary to wipe and lubricate the blade.
Very high hardness (64 HRC) requires careful handling: it is not intended for heavy batoning, cutting bones or metal objects β the cutting edge may chip if handled roughly.
The thickness of the butt (2.4 mm) makes the knife less suitable for heavy power work, where a massive blade is required.
Knife care
After each use, wipe the blade dry, if necessary, lubricate with mineral oil (especially in conditions of high humidity).
It is better to sharpen the knife on high-quality water or diamond stones, observing the angle of the initial sharpening.
The wenge tree requires almost no additional care, but to preserve its luster and structure, it is recommended to periodically treat the handle with wood oil.
Keep the leather scabbard in a dry place, avoiding drying out and prolonged wetting.
Brief recommendation and conclusion
The Boar D2 Wenge is the choice for those who appreciate the durability of the cutting edge, the aesthetics of natural materials and the versatility of its application, whether hiking, hunting, fishing or active life outside the city. This knife is especially good for precise, accurate work where reliability and minimal maintenance are important, but it is not suitable for extremely demanding tasks and work in a humid environment without regular maintenance.
