Detailed analysis of the characteristics and features of the knife
Blade steel: forged 95X18
The blade is made of forged 95X18 steel, a domestic stainless steel known for its balance between hardness (58 HRC) and corrosion resistance. Due to its high chromium content, this steel perfectly resists moisture: the knife is practically not afraid of dampness, which allows it to be used even in field conditions and at high humidity. Hardening up to 58 HRC provides excellent wear resistance of the cutting edge, the knife does not dull for a long time even with intensive use — this is especially important for universal knives. At the same time, the steel remains relatively easy to sharpen: even in the field, the knife can be easily sharpened with an ordinary hiking musat or a stone.
Handle materials: acrylic and wenge
The handle is made of a combination of natural exotic wenge wood and green acrylic. Wenge adds tactile warmth to the product, is pleasant to the touch and resistant to mechanical stress, while acrylic gives a bright, modern look and complements the moisture resistance of the handle. This composition not only looks spectacular, but also functions perfectly: the handle does not absorb moisture, is resistant to temperature fluctuations and does not slip in the hand even when wet, making the knife safe for use in the forest and in the kitchen.
Blade shape and parameters
Blade length — 135 mm, thickness — 2.4 mm, width — 28 mm. The classic shape of the Normal Blade makes the knife a versatile tool for a wide range of tasks: it perfectly handles cutting, planing and product work. The moderate thickness of the blade provides a balance between cutting and durability — the knife cuts, stabs and pricks materials equally well, and is not prone to breaking under load, which is especially important when hiking and while working on wood.
Combined properties
Combined with the comfortable handle length (135 mm), the knife fits confidently in the palm of your hand, is well controlled and does not cause fatigue even during prolonged work. The leather scabbard ensures safe storage and transportation, protecting the blade and you.

Uniqueness:the harmony of the classic silhouette with modern materials and handmade craftsmanship, which makes each knife unique.
Possible limitations and what the knife is not suitable for
- It is not recommended for heavy work, such as chopping thick wood or scrap loads (batoning), since the blade thickness of 2.4 mm is designed for cutting, not for rough force.
- is not specialized for tactical use and self-defense.
- Is not designed for large culinary tasks (butchering large carcasses, chopping bones) — the working length and shape are designed for universal, but not specialized powerful cutting.
Care recommendations
- Wipe the blade dry after use — despite its high corrosion resistance, care will prolong its service life and preserve its appearance.
- Periodically treat the handle with mineral oil for wood to maintain the saturation of the wenge color. Acrylic is maintenance-free, but it is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
- Use soft musats or stones for sharpening — 95X18 steel reacts well to standard abrasives.
- Do not store the knife in a damp sheath for a long time; after active use, allow the knife to dry openly.
Conclusion and brief recommendation
This knife is an excellent choice for tourists, fishermen, hunters and outdoor enthusiasts who need a practical, versatile and beautiful tool. It will also become a striking element of the collection thanks to the acrylic and wenge handle. It is not suitable for those who need a working tool for heavy power work — it is optimal as a universal assistant for everyday and outdoor use.
