Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel — Damascus (HRC 64): The use of Damascus steel provides not only an expressive, elegant texture, but also impressive cutting edge durability at a hardness of 64 HRC. This combination guarantees exceptional wear resistance, allowing the blade to remain sharp for a long time even under high load. However, such a high hardness requires some caution: impact loads or bends can lead to chipping, so the blade is not designed for rough work on bones or hard materials.
Blade width, thickness and length: A blade 98 mm wide and 5 mm thick is an extraordinary solution for a chopper. This shape guarantees lightning-fast and confident cutting, and a significant thickness serves as a reserve of strength and power during impact work. The blade length of 185 mm is optimal for maneuverability and control while working both in the kitchen and outdoors.
Handle material — birch bark: A natural material with a unique texture and warmth. Birch bark provides a comfortable, non—slip and warm feeling in the hand - the knife does not slip even in a wet palm and does not become cold in winter. In addition, the low thermal conductivity of birch bark and its natural springiness soften the impact during operation, reducing fatigue.
Protection against moisture and corrosion: Damascus steel is moderately resistant to corrosion, and requires regular maintenance — wiping and drying after use, especially when interacting with water or acidic products. Birch bark tolerates moisture well, but it also needs periodic treatment with a special oil to preserve its characteristics and appearance. The leather sheath provides adequate protection during transportation, however, after prolonged storage in a leather sheath, it is recommended to take out and ventilate the knife to avoid possible exposure to moisture.
