Steel and blade. This knife is made of forged 95X18 steel, one of the best Russian stainless steels, known for its excellent balance between hardness (58 HRC), corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Due to forging combined with considerable hardness, the blade retains its working sharpness for a long time and is not prone to chipping. The 3 mm thick and 135 mm long blade provides confident penetration and cutting characteristics, and the classic Drop Point shape is versatile: great for both kitchen and hiking/hiking tasks, as well as for hunting and fishing. The blade width of 30 mm adds strength and controllability when working.
Materials of the handle.The handle combines natural wenge wood and green acrylic. Wenge is a dense exotic wood, resistant to moisture and mechanical influences, does not slip even in a wet hand. Acrylic is an aesthetic, durable, scratch—resistant material that does not absorb moisture and does not actually deform. This combination increases both the comfort of the grip and the visual appeal of the knife, the relief and shape of the handle contribute to a secure grip even with gloves. The guard additionally protects the hand from slipping.
Corrosion resistance and maintenance. Stainless steel 95X18 perfectly resists moisture and household influences, does not require complex maintenance — it is enough to rinse and wipe dry after use. Wenge wood is resistant to rot, and acrylic is not afraid of moisture at all. However, it is recommended not to leave the knife in a wet state for a long time.
Wear resistance and maintenance. Steel has excellent wear resistance, and the cutting edge retains its sharpness for a long time, even with intensive cutting. Sharpening does not require special tools — any standard system can handle the return of 95X18 steel to working sharpness. To maintain the aesthetics of the handle, it is sometimes recommended to wipe the wood with a special oil, and it is enough to wipe the acrylic with a dry cloth.
Design features. The handle length of 135 mm provides a comfortable grip for most palms. The guard increases safety, and the genuine leather scabbard ensures reliable storage and transportation.
