Advantages and limitations
Advantages:
The absolute hardness and wear resistance of the blade – S390 steel surpasses most traditional steels, does not require frequent sharpening even during intensive use.
It is easily held in the hand thanks to the ergonomic shape and tenacious texture of the stabilized Karelian birch. It is well controlled even with wet gloves and in the cold.
Moisture resistance: the handle is resistant to moisture, does not warp or crack, which is critical for outdoor use.
High corrosion resistance of the S390 blade: it does not darken or rust when exposed to moisture, but requires minimal maintenance.
The exclusive appearance and use of premium natural materials are the choice for connoisseurs of unique items.
Limitations:
Due to the ultra-hard S390 steel, sharpening requires the use of diamond or ceramic tools, which can be more difficult for beginners.
It is not recommended for cutting hard materials (bone, metal, large branches) – the risk of chipping due to high hardness.
The mammoth tooth and finishing treatment require careful care – do not throw the knife, do not leave it in the open sun and do not use it in aggressive environments.
It is not the best choice for heavy work with high impact, for example, batoning (chopping firewood), since the blade is designed for cutting, not for brute force work.
Care recommendations
To maintain maximum sharpness, use diamond sharpeners; do not allow the working edge to become completely blunted.
After use, wipe the blade and handle dry; store the knife in a leather sheath in a dry place.
Once every few months, treat the handle with mineral oil or wax to protect natural materials.
Avoid prolonged contact with acids and alkalis to preserve the appearance of the handle.
