The original knife with a 141 mm long and 3 mm thick blade is made of advanced Elmax powder steel with a hardness of 62 HRC. The blade with the universal Drop Point shape is perfectly balanced in length and width (28 mm), which allows you to combine careful work with cutting control. The handle is made of a unique maple mouthpiece with a bright yellow hue, which not only aesthetically highlights the knife, but also provides a pleasant tactile impact and a confident grip. The scabbard made of high-quality vegetable-tanned leather emphasizes the premium status of the product and carefully preserves the cutting edge.
Opportunities and unique advantages
Elmax Steel: This high-tech powder alloy is characterized by exceptional wear resistance, hardness and corrosion resistance. Due to its high hardness of 62 HRC, the blade retains its sharpness for a long time even with intensive use, and its anti—corrosion properties allow it to work in conditions of high humidity - whether fishing, hiking, or hunting.
Maple cap handle: The material fits well in the hand and has a stable texture, which reduces the risk of slipping when working in wet conditions. The maple cap is not susceptible to cracking and deformation, and the beautiful wood pattern makes the knife stand out as a collector's item.
Drop Point Shape: The universal geometry of the blade allows you to perform a wide range of tasks: from precise cutting and thinning to cutting and planing wood. The slightly raised boot ensures reliability under load, and the smooth curve of the cutting edge makes it easier to work with food and fine woodwork.
Ease of use:The ergonomically shaped handle of medium length (140 mm) is securely held in the hand, providing comfort during both long and fast work. The absence of a lock makes the knife as reliable as possible in operation.
Scope and limitations
This knife is ideal for tourists, fishermen, hunters and connoisseurs of unique handmade products. It will perform well when cooking in nature, cutting fish and meat, small carpentry and household chores. Its compact size and secure fixation in a leather scabbard allow it to be worn on a belt during hikes and expeditions.
It is not recommended to use this knife for heavy wood chopping, batoning or high impact loads: the thickness of the butt and the shape of the Drop Point are designed for universal, but not extreme use. It is also worth avoiding contact with mineral abrasives to preserve the glossy surface of the handle.
Features of care
Elmax steel is practically non-corrosive, but to preserve its pristine appearance, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry after use and periodically apply a drop of oil to the surface.
The maple cap should be protected from prolonged exposure to water and aggressive chemicals; periodically treat the handle with a special wood oil to emphasize and preserve the unique pattern.
Sharpening is performed on high-quality diamond or ceramic abrasives, which allows you to quickly restore the original sharpness, given the high hardness of the steel.
Leather scabbards require regular waxing or cream treatment so that the skin remains supple and does not crack over time.
