Blade steel: HW5 (HRC 65)
Handle material: Bubinga
Geometry of the blade Excellent grip in the hand: The ergonomic shape of the bubinga handle ensures a secure grip even during prolonged work or high humidity. Due to the natural wood texture, the handle is non-slip and comfortable to use. Wear resistance and durability: HV5 steel with a hardness of 65 HRC allows the knife to stay sharp for a long time, withstand heavy loads and minimize the need for frequent sharpening. Technical analysis and features of the knife
The blade is made of tool steel HV5, hardened to a hardness of 65 HRC. This is an outstanding indicator for handmade knives, providing exceptional wear resistance and long-term retention of sharpening even with intensive use. This steel is resistant to discoloration and allows you to perform the most demanding cutting tasks for hard and fibrous materials. However, HV5 steel requires careful care: it has moderate corrosion resistance and needs regular cleaning and drying after contact with moisture or organic substances.
The handle is made of African bubinga wood, a material renowned for its exceptional hardness, aesthetically rich texture and luxurious warm shade. The wood is resistant to cracking and deformation, fits perfectly in the hand, prevents slipping in dry conditions and provides a reliable grip even during prolonged work. However, it is worth considering: to work in conditions of constant moisture, it is preferable to treat the handle regularly with oil or wax in order to preserve the natural beauty and strength of the wood.
The blade thickness is 2.4 mm, width — 34 mm, length — 133 mm. This geometry provides the knife with an excellent balance between penetration and cutting efficiency. The blade is great for versatile jobs, from cutting game or fish to precision woodwork and food preparation. A wide enough blade is convenient for cutting, and the average thickness gives strength and allows you to withstand significant loads without the risk of breakage. The set includes a leather scabbard, emphasizing the traditional approach and reliable storage.
Scope of application and key advantages
Limitations and operating conditions
- Resistance to moisture and corrosion: HV5 steel requires maintenance — after contact with moisture, the knife must be wiped dry and stored in a dry place. Prolonged exposure to aggressive media (acids, seawater) is not recommended.
- Maintenance difficulties:Due to the high hardness of HW5, sharpening requires high-quality diamond or ceramic tools. As a preventive measure, regular light edging and rare basic sharpening are recommended.
- It is not suitable for: Work with heavy lateral loads, rough opening of metal or other superhard materials, prolonged work on bones — this can lead to damage or chipping of the cutting edge.
- Wet and extreme conditions: Although bubinga is resistant to moisture, for expeditions to the tropics and conditions of constant dampness, additional treatment of the handle with natural oil is recommended.
Brief recommendation and conclusion
A knife based on a KHV5 with a bubinga handle is the choice for a true connoisseur of handmade and natural materials who is looking for a tool for hunting, fishing, tourism or collection. It perfectly combines powerful cutting ability, durability and aesthetic appeal. It is recommended for everyone who needs a sharp, reliable and beautiful knife for universal tasks in nature, except for use in conditions of increased corrosive aggression or when it is necessary to work on superhard materials. Care is simple: wipe dry after work, regularly update the oil on the handle, and protect from prolonged contact with moisture .
