Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Elmax steel (hardness 64 HRC): Modern high—tech Elmax powder steel is one of the premium steels for knives. With a hardness of 64 HRC, it provides exceptional wear resistance, excellent cutting edge retention and a long service life without blunting. Elmax is resistant to corrosion due to its high chromium content, which makes the knife a reliable companion in conditions of high humidity or when working with food.
The handle is made of black hornbeam: Natural hornbeam wood is known for its durability, pleasant texture and resistance to moisture, cracks and deformations. The black hornbeam gives the knife a noble appearance, creates a reliable and tactilely pleasant grip on the palm, even with prolonged use. The ergonomic shape of the handle, complemented by a guard, helps to keep the knife safely and comfortably in your hand in any conditions — from dry to wet.
Blade shape: dirk, length 100 mm, thickness 2.4 mm: The classic symmetrical shape of the dirk is historically known in the military and collectible tradition. The shortened blade provides precise and controlled pricking and cutting action. The dirk is great for piercing and delicate technical work that requires precision, as well as for a stiletto of fine cutting and precise work with details. The 2.4 mm thickness makes the blade strong enough while maintaining sharpness and high penetrating power.
Construction and additional elements: The folding design facilitates everyday carrying and storage. The leather scabbard provides additional protection for the blade and safe transportation. The guard prevents the hand from slipping onto the blade, increasing safety at work.

Usage restrictions
It is not suitable for heavy power work (batoning, chopping of large wood): The thin shape of the blade is designed for precise operations, not rough cutting.
is not intended for universal kitchen work: the short blade and the cutlass shape are sharpened for delicate or piercing tasks, and not for intensive chopping or thinning of products.
It is not recommended for work with a high fracture load: despite the strength of the steel, the geometry of the blade creates limitations when working with hard materials under heavy lateral forces.
Care and maintenance
Elmax practically does not require laborious maintenance: it resists corrosion, but to preserve its original appearance, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry after use in aggressive environments.
The handle made of black hornbeam is resistant to moisture and dirt, but for a long service life, it is recommended to periodically treat it with natural wood oil.
Sharpening the Elmax blade requires the use of high—quality abrasives (water or diamond stones) - the knife retains its sharpness for a long time, but if it is necessary to restore sharpening, you should turn to professional methods or use appropriate sharpening systems.
It is recommended to keep leather scabbards away from prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight to prevent drying out and deformation.
