Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: Elmax
Elmax is a modern Swedish—made powder steel known for its high wear resistance, hardness (62 HRC) and excellent corrosion resistance. Thanks to its balanced structure and high chromium content, Elmax ensures cutting edge stability even under heavy use, as well as minimal exposure to rust — the knife can be safely used in wet and harsh conditions without fear of rapid corrosion.
Handle material: Stabilized Karelian birch (brown)
Stabilized Karelian birch is not only a premium aesthetic solution with a unique natural pattern, but also a practical material for daily use. Due to the stabilization process, the wood receives increased moisture resistance, resistance to temperature fluctuations and mechanical stress. This handle is not afraid of water, does not absorb dirt and remains comfortable in the palm of your hand even during prolonged operation.
Geometry and shape of the blade: Drop Point
The blade length is 100 mm, the thickness is 2.4 mm and the classic geometry of the Drop Point make the knife a universal helper for both urban EDC and active tourism, hunting, fishing. The Drop Point features a sturdy tip and a smooth butt line, which provides excellent cutting control, precision, and safety when piercing or peeling. The mold is great for cutting food, small jobs, butchering, and versatile outdoor tasks.
Comfortable grip and safety
The well-thought-out ergonomics of the handle and the natural texture of the stabilized birch guarantee a reliable grip in dry and wet conditions, even with gloves. The handle length of 130 mm fits most palms, providing comfort and safety in operation.
Durability and ease of maintenance
Elmax practically does not require constant straightening: even with prolonged use, the cutting edge retains its sharpness for a long time, and high hardness significantly slows down wear. Due to its modern structure, the steel can be easily sharpened with high-quality tools for powder steels. Care is reduced to simple rinsing and drying after use; the handle does not require special treatment.
Scabbard
The set includes a leather scabbard — reliable protection of the blade in a bag, pocket or belt, meeting modern standards of quality and style.

Advantages and limitations
- Advantages:
- Outstanding wear resistance and corrosion resistance (Elmax). Safe, tenacious and comfortable grip in all conditions (Karelian birch). Easy maintenance, minimal maintenance and stable cutting quality.
- The practicality and versatility of the Drop Point shape for various tasks.
- Premium appearance and a sense of uniqueness due to the handwork.
- Limitations:
- The blade thickness of 2.4 mm and the Drop Point shape make the knife not the best choice for heavy batoning or cutting large branches — it is designed for delicate and versatile tasks, not scrap work.
- Compact dimensions may not be sufficient for heavy tactical or specialized work requiring a massive blade.
Care recommendations
Thanks to Elmax, blade care is minimal: it is enough to wash and wipe the knife thoroughly after use, especially in aggressive environments (salt water, animal blood). We recommend using a specialized carbide steel sharpener to maintain sharpness. The handle made of stabilized Karelian birch does not require oil or impregnation, but will appreciate dry storage away from sudden temperature changes.
Conclusion and brief recommendation
This folding knife is an ideal choice for connoisseurs of reliable and versatile solutions: hiking, hunting, fishing, everyday wear. The unique combination of modern Elmax steel and stabilized Karelian birch will be appreciated by both practitioners and collectors. For heavy power work, choose a model with a more massive blade; for all other tasks, the Taiga is flawless and durable .
