Blade: Damascus steel, hardness 64 HRC
The chopper is made of high-quality Damascus steel, which has a pronounced pattern and an impressive hardness of 64 HRC. This level of hardness guarantees exceptional wear resistance and the ability to maintain sharpness for a long time, even with intensive use. Damascus is known not only for its durability, but also for the aesthetic splendor of its layers. The 5 mm thick blade gives the chopper an impressive margin of safety for heavy work. The optimal length of 170 mm and width of 85 mm provide excellent tool control and a large working area for chopping and rough cutting.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion
Although Damascus steel is highly durable, it requires careful care: the blade is sensitive to moisture and prolonged exposure to aggressive environments. It is recommended to thoroughly wipe and dry the blade after work, and to apply a thin layer of oil for additional protection.
Handle: bubinga, nickel silver, set design
The handle made of rare bubinga wood with elements of nickel silver not only emphasizes the status of the product, but is also durable with proper care. The composite technology of joining materials gives a confident grip even with wet hands, and the ergonomic length of 175 mm fits perfectly into the palm of any size. Nickel silver is a corrosion—resistant material that does not cool the hand and gives the product a noble appearance.
The shape and objectives of the blade
The wide and massive hoe—shaped blade is an ideal tool for heavy work: chopping bones, butchering large game, preparing hard vegetables and fruits, and woodwork. Due to the considerable width and massiveness of the blade, powerful dissection and high stability under shock loads are ensured.
Maintenance and care
Damascus requires regular and careful care: avoid storing in a damp state, periodically treat the blade with oil. The bubing handle is resistant to moisture, but it also welcomes waxing or specialized wood oils.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
Advantages:
Excellent wear resistance: the high hardness of the blade allows you to keep sharpness longer even under heavy loads.
Style and status: the rich combination of Damascus steel with a curly handle made of bubinga and nickel silver makes the knife not only a working tool, but also a collector's item.
Reliable grip: due to the set handle and ergonomics, the chopper is comfortable to hold even in wet or greasy hands.
Versatile in heavy tasks: ideal for hunting, butchering meat, chopping bones, cooking outdoors or preparing firewood.
Restrictions:
It is not intended for fine jewelry, filleting fish and careful slicing — the massiveness of the blade reduces maneuverability for delicate tasks.
Damascus steel requires careful care — if the rules are not followed, the risk of corrosion increases.
It is not recommended for permanent work on extremely hard materials (stone, metal).
Due to its large size, the chopper is not convenient for everyday use and minor kitchen work.
Conclusions and recommendations
The unique ensemble of properties of this knife makes it indispensable for hunters, tourists and anyone who appreciates the power, reliability and impeccable aesthetics of a working chopper. This knife is worth choosing for those who are looking for a tool for serious tasks: chopping, cutting, rough preparation of products. It will also be the main decoration in the collection of a connoisseur of original knives.
We do not recommend it for fine cooking, everyday pocket carrying and those who prefer tools with minimal care.
Pay special attention to the care of the blade: clean it regularly, wipe it dry and treat it with oil. A bubbling handle will last for many years if it is periodically coated with a special wax or oil to protect the wood.
