Precise analysis of properties and features
Blade steel — Damascus steel, hardness 62 HRC:
The blade is made of Damascus steel, famous for its intricate pattern and durability. Hardness 62 on the HRC scale is an indicator of a high level of wear resistance and the ability to maintain the sharpness of the cutting edge for a long time. Due to this hardness, the knife confidently copes with serious loads and is not prone to rapid blunting, however, it requires careful handling when chipping hard materials to avoid chipping.
Blade Shape — Spear Point:
The Spear Point is a versatile symmetrical shape with a reinforced tip that provides excellent piercing properties while maintaining good cutting qualities. This blade is ideal for both accurate work and more powerful piercing tasks. It is suitable for precise cuts, cutting and light woodwork.
Handle material — black hornbeam with thread and nickel silver:
Black hornbeam is one of the hardest and most stable natural materials, resistant to moisture and deformation. The carved finish increases the grip reliability and aesthetic value of the knife, while the nickel silver inserts emphasize elitism and give a unique character. The ergonomics of the handle ensures a secure grip even with a wet hand; the knife fits well in the palm due to its balance and shape, and the length of 130 mm allows it to be used for both delicate and forceful operations.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion:
Damascus steel, although capable of providing decent corrosion resistance (due to its combined structure), needs regular maintenance: after use, it is recommended to wipe and lubricate the blade to avoid rust. The materials of the handle, hornbeam and nickel silver, are excellent moisture resists, but to preserve the appearance, prolonged contact with water should be avoided and the handle should be wiped in a timely manner.
Maintenance and care:
Due to its high hardness, the knife remains sharp for a long time, but sharpening requires the use of high-quality abrasives (ceramics, diamonds). It is recommended to avoid contact with very hard surfaces to avoid chipping. The leather sheath reliably protects the blade during transportation, but it is better to use a dry, well-ventilated place for storage.
Main tasks, scope and limitations
- Is optimal for: hunting (butchering), tourism, outdoor activities, collecting. Perfectly copes with cutting meat, fish, products, woodwork, precise manipulations (carving, filigree work).
- It is poorly suited for: rough force work on bones, opening metal or hard inorganic surfaces, cutting large—diameter wood - there is a high risk of damage to the blade under excessive loads.
- It is not a universal tactical knife or a heavy survival tool.
Unique differences and advantages
- Distinct individuality: each blade has a unique Damask pattern, a hand-carved handle and inserts of nickel silver distinguish the knife from typical products.
- Aesthetics and elitism: ideal as a status gift or a collector's item with practical value.
- The balance of functionality and external luxury: the knife is both convenient to use and looks organically in any collection.
Care recommendations
- Wipe and dry the blade after each use, apply a thin layer of oil to prevent corrosion.
- It is recommended to protect the hornbeam handle from prolonged exposure to water and aggressive environments.
- To re-sharpen, use professional tools, and avoid low-quality household sharpeners.
- Keep the knife in a dry leather sheath or on a stand in a room with normal humidity.
Conclusion and brief recommendation
This knife is a godsend for handmade connoisseurs, collectors, hunters and tourists who value reliability, sharpness and unique design. It is perfect for cutting, precise and accurate work, as well as as a prestigious gift. Those who need a tool for heavy work or constant power loads should consider another option. It is ideal for those who appreciate the balance of aesthetics, tradition and practicality.
