Detailed analysis of properties and features
The steel of the blade is Damascus, hardness 62 HRC.
Damascus steel is a unique multi—layered material that combines strength and flexibility. A hardness of 62 HRC allows the blade to remain sharp for a long time, even with heavy use. The high hardness ensures excellent wear resistance and durability of the blade, and the branded Damascus pattern emphasizes the uniqueness and premium quality of the product. However, careful care is recommended to preserve all properties: damask is susceptible to moisture and requires regular oil treatment.
The handle is stabilized Karelian birch.
Karelian birch, which has undergone the stabilization process, acquires exceptional strength and moisture resistance, does not crack and retains its appearance even with prolonged use. The natural wood pattern and its pleasant-to-touch texture make the knife aesthetically appealing and create a real handmade feeling. Thanks to the ergonomics of the handle (length 125 mm), the knife fits comfortably in any palm, providing a secure grip even in wet or cold conditions.
The blade is a clip-point shape, length 133 mm, thickness 2.4 mm.
The classic clip-point shape is versatility and precision. This geometry is great for delicate, controlled incisions, cutting edges for precise work, but also allows you to confidently cope with most household tasks. The size and balance of the blade are optimal for fast one-handed operation, whether in the kitchen, hiking or hunting.
The sheath is leather.
High-quality leather scabbard ensures reliable and safe carrying of the knife, protects it from damage and is convenient to use in all types of hiking and urban conditions.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
- Optimal for:
- Tourism: the versatility of the shape, the convenience of wearing and maintenance.
- Hunting: The precise point is suitable for butchering and skinning.
- Camping, fishing, household tasks — control, sharpness and reliability in work.
- Collectible use: noble appearance, unique damask and handmade.
- Limitations:
- It is not recommended for rough work: high hardness and a relatively thin blade (2.4 mm) make the knife less suitable for chopping, prying, and opening bones — heavy fixes or axes are preferable for these tasks. Moisture sensitivity — Damascus steel requires regular maintenance: wipe dry after use, store only in dry conditions, periodically lubricate the blade with a thin layer of oil.
Unique advantages
- Exclusive Damascus steel pattern — each knife is unique.
- Stabilized Karelian birch — the highest aesthetics and durability of natural material.

Care recommendations
- Blade: wipe dry after each use, and apply a layer of mineral or weapon oil to prevent corrosion during long—term storage.
- It is not recommended to wash in the dishwasher or allow prolonged contact with moisture.
- Handle: the stabilized birch is resistant to moisture, but to preserve the gloss and depth of the pattern, periodically wipe the handle with a soft, dry cloth.
- Scabbard: Store in a dry place, avoid prolonged wetting.
