LKW Mauler VG-10 Damast Fixed Blade Knife by Radosław Łęgowik - Brown Micarta
An enhanced iteration of the well-regarded Mauler model, distinguished by a laminated blade featuring a VG-10 stainless steel core. Utilization of Damascus steel delivers a distinctive blade pattern created by its layered construction. The Mauler stands out as a medium-sized, robust, and lightweight knife, built with Full Tang technology and fitted with a handle crafted from brown Micarta. Renowned Polish knifemaker Radosław Łęgowik is responsible for both the design and craftsmanship of this knife.
Polish project
Radosław Łęgowik, a Polish bladesmith and founder of the LKW brand - Libra Knife Works, has been crafting knives by hand since 2007, bringing his own original designs to life. Every knife is meticulously produced in his workshop, where he oversees every stage, from shaping to hardening and heat treatment. The collection features both modern tactical knives and robust, practical survival blades.
VG-10 steel core laminate
Forged from Damascus steel, the knife features a robust core of VG-10 steel hardened to 60-61 HRC. This core is encased in 72 layers of tough yet resilient stainless steel, forming a unique pattern across the blade. Outer layers of steel enhance durability, resistance to cracking, and flexibility under demanding conditions. The selection of materials ensures superior edge retention, exceptional corrosion resistance, as well as outstanding durability and resistance to cracking.
Drop-Point Profile, Flat Grind
Featuring a blade length of 97 mm and a thickness of 2.9 mm, the classic Drop-Point blade profile offers a pronounced belly, significantly enhancing cutting performance. Crafted with a full flat grind, the blade minimizes overall weight, while its broad profile ensures excellent ergonomics during use.
Micarta Handle, Cross Guard
The handle boasts an ergonomic design and is crafted from Micarta, a robust, water-resistant material based on epoxy resin, offering a reliable and comfortable grip in any situation. Enhanced with a cross guard, the handle provides extra protection against accidental hand slippage onto the blade during use. A lanyard hole is positioned at the end of the handle.
Stiff Kydex Sheath, Belt Loop
Included in the set is a rigid sheath crafted from lightweight, damage-resistant Kydex material. Multiple holes and grommets on each side of the sheath enable versatile attachment options to gear. A belt loop positioned on the back facilitates secure belt carry.
