Technical analysis: design and material features
Blade steel: D2, hardness 64 HRC
D2 steel is well known for its high wear resistance and excellent cutting properties, making it a popular choice among professional and semi-professional knives. The hardness of 64 HRC ensures long-term sharpness and minimal need for frequent sharpening. Due to its high performance, D2 is resistant to chipping, but under heavy transverse loads it can be slightly more brittle compared to more viscous steels. D2 belongs to semi—rusting tool steels: it is more resistant to corrosion than carbon steels, but inferior to high-grade stainless alloys, therefore it requires minimal maintenance - regular wiping and surface protection after work in humid conditions.
Blade thickness 3 mm, length 135 mm, width 33 mm
Optimal parameters for a universal knife: a blade of this size is perfect for most household, hiking and hunting tasks. The thickness of 3 mm guarantees a good balance of rigidity and cutting ability.
Handle: Karelian birch
The Karelian birch handle is not only visually unique — each product is unique — but also feels very comfortable in the hand. This material is known for its warm, pleasant texture, it does not slip, even if the palm is wet. With additional oil or wax impregnation, the handle becomes more resistant to moisture and dirt.
All-metal construction
The fulltang (all-metal) design increases the overall safety margin of the knife and eliminates the risk of breakage in the most stressed areas, as well as positively affects the balancing of the knife in the hand.
Scabbard: genuine leather
The classic leather scabbard not only emphasizes the status of the handmade product, but also provides reliable protection from accidental cuts and ease of transportation.
Optimal scope of application
Due to its size, shape and properties of steel, this knife is perfect for:
- tourism and travel (camp work, cooking, wood finishing and cutting);
- hunting (cutting and deboning of trophies);
- fishing (cutting fish, preparing bait);
- a wide range of household, everyday tasks;
- collectible use and the status of a gift knife due to the spectacular handle.
Limitations and disadvantages
- Although D2 steel is resistant to corrosion, it requires mandatory care during prolonged contact with water and sea moisture: drying and applying a light layer of oil.
- The hardness of 64 HRC makes the knife excellent for sharpening, however, under heavy lateral loads, it is not recommended to use it as a crowbar or throwing knife: there is a risk of chipping.
- A handle made of natural Karelian birch may become less stable if exposed to water for a very long time (without regular treatment) — periodic impregnation is recommended.
- It is not the best model for heavy metal work, dense bones and other extreme loads — it is optimal as a universal accompaniment in nature or the kitchen.
Care recommendations
- After use, rinse and thoroughly wipe the knife dry, especially before long-term storage.
- Regularly treat the blade with a thin layer of mineral oil to prevent corrosion.
- For the handle, periodic coating with oil or wax for wood is recommended — this will preserve the structure of the wood and its moisture resistance.
- Keep the knife in a dry, ventilated place, avoiding long-term storage in dampness.
- D2 sharpening requires diamond or ceramic abrasives — this approach ensures a long and sharp cutting edge.
Conclusion and recommendations
This knife is an ideal choice for those who are looking for a balance between unique handmade aesthetics, reliability and practicality: tourists, hunters, fishermen and connoisseurs of beautiful, durable products will appreciate it. The fulltang design and Karelian birch handle make the knife not only a working tool, but also an object that is pleasant to hold in your hand — for a gift, collection and active use in nature. It is not recommended for tasks involving extreme loads on the blade or prolonged exposure to a humid environment without proper care.
