LKW Mauler VG-10 Damast Fixed Blade Knife by Radosław Łęgowik - Black G10
An enhanced edition of the renowned Mauler model, equipped with a laminated blade featuring a VG-10 stainless steel core. Incorporating Damascus steel grants the knife a distinctive blade pattern formed by its multiple layers. Engineered as a medium-sized, robust, and lightweight knife, the Mauler utilizes a Full Tang structure and is fitted with a handle crafted from G10 material in black. The knife’s design and execution originate from acclaimed Polish knifemaker Radosław Łęgowik.
Polish project
Radosław Łęgowik is a Polish craftsman specializing in knife making and the creator of the LKW brand - Libra Knife Works. Since 2007, he has been meticulously designing and crafting knives entirely by hand in his workshop, where he oversees every stage of production, from initial design through hardening and heat treatment. The lineup features tactical knives with contemporary aesthetics as well as robust and reliable survival knives designed for practical use.
VG-10 steel core laminate
Forged from Damascus steel, the knife features a tough core constructed from VG-10 steel, hardened to a formidable 60-61 HRC. This core is encased in 72 layers of stainless steel, which offer reduced hardness yet exceptional resilience, resulting in the blade’s unique patterned appearance. The outer layers of steel ensure exceptional strength, impressive crack resistance, and reliable flexibility even under heavy-duty use. Thanks to the material selection, the blade delivers outstanding edge retention, superior corrosion resistance, and remarkable durability along with further protection against cracking.
Drop-Point profile, flat grind
Featuring a blade length of 97 mm and a thickness of 2.9 mm, the knife utilizes a traditional Drop-Point design with a prominent belly, providing increased effectiveness for slicing tasks. Engineered with a full flat grind, the blade offers a lighter build, while the broad profile delivers excellent ergonomic handling during use.
G10 laminate handle, cross guard
Featuring ergonomically contoured scales secured to the tang with screws, the handle is crafted from robust glass-epoxy laminate G10. A cross guard enhances safety by preventing the user's hand from sliding onto the blade during operation. The end of the handle incorporates a hole for attaching a safety lanyard.
Rigid Kydex sheath, belt loop
Included in the set is a durable sheath crafted from lightweight and highly damage-resistant Kydex. Multiple holes and slots on either side of the sheath facilitate versatile mounting options on gear. A belt loop on the rear side enables secure attachment to a belt.
