About presented execution of Wilk knife

Blade with exceptional shape and grind

Wilk is a knife with a hidden tang construction. The knife’s blade is shaped in harpoon style with flat grind. On the cutting edge, we notice a recurve, useful, for example, when planing, etc., where we can control the blade over the material. The knife has an upper blade about 2/3 of its length. A double-sided cutting edge with a rather narrow point means that the knife has exceptional penetrating properties (useful, among others, in the hunting profession). 1/3 of the length of the upper edge of the knife (spine) is formed into a full-width ridge, which is useful as a support for the thumb during cuts requiring pressure or as a flint scraper (the edges of the spine of the blade have been slightly rounded so as not to cut yourself, and yet still work efficiently with the element sparkling).

The D2 steel used as the core of the construction is a material appreciated by many users due to very good sharpness and easy sharpening when blunted. It is a steel that copes fairly well with the rust phenomenon. It is often named as the least rusty among tool steels. D2 properly cared for and sharpened works very long and effectively.

Blade finish – horizontal satin made by hands is very effective and fits perfectly with the entire aesthetic design.

Stabilized wood handle

The handle is made of very durable stabilized wood (karelian birch), has a streamlined shape, very nicely arranged in the hand. The blade with the handle is a great looking whole with optimal weight and perfect proportions. The knife has a guard and a cross made of alpaca (alpacca), i.e. new silver*. The pins in the handle are also made of alpacca. The handguard, of course, has a function that improves safety during work. Namely, it minimizes the risk of your hand slipping on the blade during work, thus preventing possible injuries.

*Alpaca (alpacca), also known by other names such as argentan, new silver, white silver is a high-nickel brass – a silvery-white metal alloy resembling a noble metal in appearance.

Handmade natural leather sheath

The knife set includes a handmade sheath made of natural vegetable tanned leather. The leather has an individual texture made by the creator. The color consistent with the entire design was given by a knifemaker with the use of natural paints. The sheaths has a belt loop and is ultimately carried vertically at the waist.
