Technical analysis and design features
The blade of the knife is made of high-grade Böhler K340 tool steel with a hardness of 62 HRC. Such steel is known for its outstanding wear resistance, the ability to maintain the sharpness of the cutting edge for a long time even with intensive use. The K340 is characterized by enhanced corrosion resistance due to alloying elements, which greatly facilitates the operation of the knife in a variety of climatic conditions.
The blade thickness of 3.6 mm and length of 128 mm ensure an optimal combination of strength and controllability when cutting. The shape of the blade is classic (Normal Blade), which makes the knife versatile for most everyday tasks: from cutting meat and processing fish, to woodwork or minor household repairs.
The handle is made of natural Karelian birch in combination with decorative inserts made of artificial stone. This material not only gives the product an exclusive and aesthetically pleasing look, but also provides a comfortable, warm grip. Karelian birch does not slip even in wet hands, and artificial stone inserts additionally increase the wear resistance of the handle.
Optimal scenarios and application area
The knife is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts: hunting, fishing, tourism. Thanks to the comfortable handle and durable blade, you can perform a wide range of tasks: cutting food, butchering meat, processing wood, and opening packaging. The rich hardness and durability of the steel make it possible to use the knife even under high load conditions, for example, during prolonged work on leather or rope.
The ease of holding in the hand makes it the optimal choice for both experienced users and beginners. Natural wood and ergonomic shape prevent slipping even when working with wet or tired hands.
Wear resistance, moisture resistance and maintenance
The Boehler K340 demonstrates high corrosion resistance, which makes it possible to avoid accidental contact with moisture or products. However, to maintain its perfect condition, we recommend wiping the blade after use and periodically treating it with protective oil.
Karelian birch is a reliable material protected by a special impregnation to increase its service life and prevent moisture absorption. Inserts made of artificial stone are practically not subject to wear, they are not afraid of scratches and temperature fluctuations.
Maintaining the cutting edge is quite simple: the K340 is well suited for sharpening with diamond and ceramic tools, but due to its high hardness, the process may take slightly longer than with classic carbon steels.
Advantages and limitations

Care recommendations
To maintain the perfect appearance and cutting properties of the knife, wash and dry the blade regularly, and avoid prolonged contact with salty or acidic environments. Once every few months, treat the handle with a special wood oil. For sharpening, use high—quality diamond or ceramic bars to optimally maintain the sharpening angle recommended for K340 steel.
