Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel – K340 (hardness 62 HRC):
Boehler K340 is a modern premium tool steel that combines high vanadium and chromium content for outstanding wear resistance and cutting edge stability. The hardness of 62 HRC guarantees the Bison knife the ability to keep sharp for a long time even when working with hard and abrasive materials, as well as resistance to discoloration. K340 has good corrosion resistance for tool steels, although in case of prolonged contact with moisture, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry and sometimes use oil — especially during long-term storage.
Handle — birch bark and black hornbeam:
The combination of birch bark and black hornbeam embodies two of the best worlds: birch bark gives the handle a warm, non-slip surface, and black hornbeam adds aesthetics and structural reliability. This grip will not slip out even with wet or tired hands — the knife lies confidently in the palm of your hand, does not rub and does not cause discomfort during prolonged use. Natural materials give each product a unique character and visual personality.
Geometry and dimensions of the blade:
The optimal length of the blade — 135 mm with a thickness of 2.6 mm and a width of 32 mm — makes the knife a versatile companion for a wide variety of tasks: from cutting food and carving a small trophy to making pegs or shavings for a bonfire. The average thickness gives a good combination of strength and easy handling, and the length of the blade allows you to work with parts without excessive bulkiness.
Scope of application and optimal tasks
The Bison knife is ideal for hiking, outdoor activities and hunting. Due to its versatile length and geometry, as well as the excellent ergonomics of the handle, it is suitable for cooking, working with wood (cutting, planing, wood chips), household tasks in nature, cutting a small trophy. Its durable steel properties and secure grip in the hand make it an excellent choice for daily wear (EDC) in rural or expedition environments.
Key advantages
- Retention of sharpness:The K340 retains sharpening significantly longer than conventional steels.
- Secure grip:The handle made of birch bark and hornbeam does not slip even in a wet palm.
- Aesthetics and uniqueness: The combination of natural materials makes each knife unique.
- Handmade: High-quality assembly and precise fine-tuning of each part by the master.
- Versatility: It is suitable for tourism, hunting, everyday life, fishing and lovers of beautiful collectible knives.
Limitations and nuances
- Moisture resistance: Although K340 is resistant to corrosion, care (wipe and lubricate) is recommended in case of prolonged contact with moisture.
- Not suitable for heavy work: The relatively small thickness of the blade (2.6 mm) limits the use of large chunks or heavy impact loads during rough butting.
- Birch bark requires careful treatment: Natural material — does not like to be stored close to sources of moisture and extreme overdrying.
Recommendations for care and selection
To preserve the perfect appearance and working properties of the blade, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry after each use, and occasionally apply a thin layer of oil. It is advisable to wipe the handle made of birch bark and hornbeam with a dry cloth, to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight.
Sharpening is easy to take care of: the K340 takes sharpening well on diamond and ceramic abrasives, allowing you to easily regain your trademark sharpness.
Conclusion and recommendations

It is especially suitable for those who are looking for a tool for regular use in nature and want to emphasize individuality through unique materials and hand assembly.
