Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel — Damascus steel, hardness 60 HRC: A unique combination of strength and elasticity. The high hardness ensures excellent cutting edge durability and long-lasting sharpening. Damascus steel is known for its multi-layered structure, which gives not only artistic elegance, but also additional wear resistance.
Bluing of the blade: The protective coating significantly reduces the risk of corrosion, especially in conditions of high humidity, and also gives the blade a stylish deep shade and additional protection from glare.
Blade thickness and geometry: The 3.5 mm thickness and the shape of the Normal Blade make the knife a versatile working tool. This geometry is good for chopping, cutting, everyday and tourist tasks: the blade is not too massive, the knife does an excellent job with both precise cutting and rough work.
Handle materials are a combination of acrylic and black hornbeam: Black hornbeam is traditionally valued for its durability, high density, moisture resistance and noble appearance. Acrylic adds a modern accent to the handles, increases resistance to aggressive environments and visually complements the ensemble. The handle is well balanced and non-slip, it is securely fixed in the hand in any conditions, whether it is a dry palm, rain or frozen fingers.
Blade length — 148 mm, handle length — 122 mm: The optimal ratio for a universal knife: the blade is long enough for serious tasks, but the compactness, ease of carrying and maneuverability remain.
Genuine leather scabbard: A classic and practical accessory for storage and transportation, protecting both the knife and the owner.
Optimal tasks and applications
This knife is perfect for:
Active tourism and bushcraft — cutting, cooking, kindling preparation, household chores in the camp;
Hunters — for skinning, butchering game, working with skin and bones;
Collectors — thanks to artistically expressive damask and raven aesthetics;
Cooking tasks in nature — the blade demonstrates excellent cutting and shredding qualities;
For everyday wear (EDC) and urban use (subject to appropriate legal regulations), it is a multifunctional tool for any situation.
Due to its balanced geometry, the blade cuts soft and hard materials equally well, and the gripping handle made of black hornbeam and acrylic ensures reliable control even in extreme weather conditions.
Restrictions and unfavorable conditions of use
It is not recommended for heavy power cutting operations on particularly hard materials (for example, for batoning on large blocks or opening metal cans), despite its high hardness — this can lead to chipping and damage to the Damascus edge.
It is not a specialized kitchen knife for thin, delicate cuts (for example, sashimi), but it does an excellent job with most tasks in nature and in a camping kitchen.
It requires regular but uncomplicated care: despite the bluing and anti-corrosion properties of Damascus, it is worth avoiding prolonged contact with moisture, aggressive environments and timely drying after each use.
Features of care
Damascus steel: Bluing protects, but it is recommended to periodically wipe with an oil-forming compound, especially after contact with an acidic or salty environment.
Handle made of black hornbeam and acrylic: Wipe with a soft cloth, avoid prolonged immersion in water, and do not expose to harsh chemicals. Acrylic is not afraid of household pollution, black hornbeam can be treated with special wax for wood from time to time.
The scabbard: Do not store the knife in a damp sheath for a long time to avoid mold formation and oxidation.
Sharpening: Due to the high hardness level of 60 HRC, the blade retains its sharpness for a long time, but it is recommended to use professional sharpening systems or ceramic water stones to restore the optimal cutting edge.
Conclusion and recommendations
This knife is an ideal choice for handmade connoisseurs, aesthetes and those who are looking for a reliable and beautiful tool for outdoor activities, hunting, tourism, as well as for collectors. The combination of blued Damascus steel, black hornbeam wood and acrylic provides not only a unique aesthetic, but also exceptional practicality, durability and comfort in all conditions. If you are looking for a knife for heavy chopping or ultra—thin delicate cuts, it is better to complement this option with a specialized tool. Emphasize your personality and taste by choosing a knife that combines the best traditions and modern handmade technologies.
