Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel KN-01 (hardness 70 HRC): The choice of KH-01 steel with an impressive hardness of 70 HRC guarantees exceptional sharpness and outstanding cutting edge durability. This hardness is typical for premium knives, ensuring minimal blade wear even under frequent loads. It should be noted that high hardness increases the requirements for accurate operation – the blade does not tolerate rough physical impact on the fracture and is designed for precise, accurate cutting. In addition, these characteristics make the knife less plastic, but as resistant to abrasion as possible with proper operation.
Handle material: Karelian birch and black hornbeam: The combination of these woods is a symbol of a premium approach to manufacturing. Karelian birch is known for its noble texture and natural strength, while black hornbeam adds density, durability and stylish rigor to the handle. Moisture resistance is generally high (especially in hornbeam), but natural wood requires periodic maintenance: it is recommended to avoid prolonged contact with water and from time to time treat the handle with a special oil to preserve color and texture.
Ergonomics and hand grip:The dimensions of the knife (135 mm handle, 135 mm blade) and the presence of a guard provide excellent balance and movement control, and the combined wooden handle fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, does not slip even in wet conditions. The guard serves as additional protection against the hand slipping onto the blade, which is especially important when working with hard or wet food, as well as during force cuts.
Drop Point Blade Shape: Drop Point is a versatile and one of the most popular shapes in the knife world. This blade profile provides a powerful tip that is resistant to loads and a long cutting edge — the optimal combination for cutting, cutting and precision work. The Drop Point shape is well suited for hunters, tourists, fishermen, and is also used in the kitchen to work with meat, vegetables, and fruits: the cuts are accurate and clean.
Corrosion resistance and maintenance: The level of corrosion resistance depends on the specific composition of KH-01 steel, however, with such a high hardness, careful maintenance is most often required. After each use, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry and apply protective oil periodically, especially when operating in a humid environment or hiking.
Durability and wear resistance:Due to the combination of outstanding hardness and high-quality hardening, the knife demonstrates excellent wear resistance when working with food, wood and other materials that are not too hard. It is not recommended for cutting bones, metal or very hard objects, because of the risk of chipping on the cutting edge with excessive lateral pressure.
Ease of sharpening: High-hardness steel requires a professional approach when straightening and sharpening, but the reward is a long service life of perfect sharpness. It is recommended to use water or diamond stones for maintenance.
Optimal tasks and applications
- Hiking, hiking: ideal as a utility knife for slicing food, preparing kindling, and working with small details when setting up camp.
- Hunting and Fishing: Great for butchering game and fish due to the controlled blade shape and sharpness.
- Kitchen (nature): convenient for precise cutting and milling of products.
- Collectibles: thanks to the handmade, unique combination of wood and high—quality steel, it is a source of pride in a private collection.
Limitations and Features
- It is not recommended for cutting bones, metal, and very hard materials: chipping may occur due to the high hardness of the steel.
- It is poorly suited for heavy household or installation work — it is a knife for fine, refined work.
- It requires regular maintenance of the blade and handle to maintain its appearance and functionality.
Care recommendations
- Wipe the blade thoroughly dry after each use.
- Keep the knife only in dry conditions, use natural oils to treat the blade and handle (especially birch).
- Periodically sharpen the blade on water or diamond stones to maintain a perfect cutting edge.
- Avoid prolonged contact with water and aggressive substances.
