Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: HW5
The blade is made of HV5 spring-tool steel with a high hardness of 65 HRC. This guarantees outstanding wear resistance and cutting edge durability, which is especially important for intensive work where long-term sharpness is required. HV5 steel is famous for its excellent cutting ability and minimizing the risk of edge jamming even when working on hard materials. At the same time, high hardness requires precision: the blade is less ductile and may be vulnerable to lateral loads, bending or chipping if used improperly.
Handle material: birch bark
The handle made of natural birch bark is both a traditional and ergonomic solution. The material fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, providing a secure grip even in wet conditions or at low temperatures. Birch bark does not slip in the hand, does not cool the palm, feels good and does not cause fatigue during prolonged work. This natural material is lightweight and eco-friendly, and each handle is unique due to its manual processing.
Blade Shape: Normal Blade
The classic shape of the blade (Normal Blade) ensures the versatility of the knife: excellent handling of the tip, good cutting depth and convenience in precise and delicate operations. This geometry is optimally suited for slicing, cutting, small household and tourist tasks. The thickness of 2.4 mm and the width of 30 mm give a good balance between rigidity and maneuverability.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion
Despite its high strength, HV5 steel does not have pronounced stainless properties, therefore it requires regular maintenance: wiping and drying after use, as well as periodic oil treatment. Birch bark is quite resistant to moisture, but for a long service life it is recommended to avoid prolonged contact with water.
Wear resistance, durability and maintenance
The blade retains its sharpness for a long time, even with aggressive use. However, sharpening requires a hard abrasive and a little more time than with softer steels. Proper care guarantees the preservation of aesthetics and functionality of the knife. The handle is easy to maintain: it is enough to periodically soak it with natural oil or wax to maintain its appearance and durability.
