Analysis of materials and construction
The damask steel blade with a hardness of 64 HRC guarantees exceptional sharpness and long-term preservation of the cutting edge, which is especially valuable for daily use. Damask steel is known for its unique combination of hardness and wear resistance, as well as its spectacular pattern on the surface, making each knife unique. This hardness requires careful handling to avoid chipping under excessive loads on the blade.
The handle material is natural wenge, a rare and premium African wood. Wenge not only gives the knife a luxurious appearance due to its deep dark color, but also provides excellent resistance to moisture, deformation and abrasion. The handle is treated so that it does not slip even in a wet hand, providing a reliable and confident grip in all conditions.
Dimensions and ergonomics:The 3 mm thick, 105 mm long and 28 mm wide blade makes the knife compact and convenient for most everyday tasks. The ergonomically designed handle, 125 mm long, is suitable for different palm sizes, allowing you to work long and comfortably. The knife is equipped with a genuine leather sheath, which ensures safe storage and transportation.
Blade shape features and optimal tasks
The shape of the "Pchak" blade is historical, characterized by a pronounced curvature and width of the blade. This shape was created for the cleanest and most efficient cutting, so the knife is equally well suited for cutting meat, slicing vegetables, working with leather, i.e. it is universal for cooking, tourism, picnics and everyday tasks in nature. Thanks to its sharp edge and relatively wide working part, the knife does an excellent job of thinly slicing and thinning products.
Moisture resistance, wear resistance and maintenance
Damask steel has moderate resistance to corrosion; with proper care, it is not susceptible to rust. Wenge is characterized by its natural stability and moisture resistance, does not absorb odors and is easy to clean. However, to keep the knife in perfect condition, it is recommended to wipe the blade after each use and not leave it in a humid environment for a long time. Sharpening damask requires a careful approach — it is recommended to use specialized devices and prevent overheating of the edge.
Advantages and limitations
