Blade steel — HV5:Cold-forged steel HV5 is famous for its outstanding hardness (65 HRC), which provides exceptional wear resistance and long-term sharpness of the working edge. This steel is resistant to abrasion, perfectly holds the sharpening even with active use. Due to its high carbon content, the knife performs well in heavy cutting tasks. However, the HV5 has moderate corrosion resistance — the knife requires timely drying and application of protective oil after working in humid conditions to avoid rust formation.
The material of the handle is Bubinga: The exotic bubinga wood is appreciated for its high density, strength and beautiful texture. The handle made of this material is resistant to mechanical damage, is minimally susceptible to deformation from moisture with proper care, and also provides a secure grip even in conditions of high humidity or when working with gloves. Due to its ergonomic length (127 mm), the knife fits comfortably in the palm of a user of different sizes, guaranteeing comfort and control during operation.
The shape and dimensions of the blade are Drop Point: The curved line of the butt and the careful descent to the tip ensure versatility of cutting tasks. The Drop Point is ideal for precise and controlled work, from cutting and skinning operations to household and tourist cutting tasks. The thickness (2.4 mm) and width of the blade (34 mm) provide a remarkable balance between strength and the ability to perform fine work. The length of the blade (138 mm) makes the knife equally convenient for both universal use in everyday life and for trips to nature.
Scabbard — Leather: The product is equipped with a durable leather sheath that securely locks the knife, protects it from mechanical damage and simplifies transportation.
Detailed analysis of the characteristics and features of the knife
Advantages, scope and limitations
- Optimal tasks: universal outdoor work (hiking, fishing, hunting), cutting food, camping kitchen, household tasks, woodwork in camping conditions, precise manipulations thanks to the Drop Point shape.
- Holding in the hand: The bubing handle is ergonomically designed to avoid slipping even in a wet palm, which is especially important in the forest or when cooking.
- Wear resistance and durability:The hardness of 65 HRC provides excellent cutting edge durability, which is important during intensive use.
- Corrosion resistance:The HV5 requires regular maintenance when in contact with moisture — it is not the best choice for marine expeditions or use in constant conditions of high humidity.
- Ease of maintenance:Due to its high hardness, HV5 steel is a little more difficult to sharpen, but prolonged retention of sharpening minimizes this inconvenience. It is recommended to use high-quality abrasives, keep clean and apply oil in a timely manner.
- Limitations:The knife is not suitable for batoning on large logs or rough chopping — fine tuning and high hardness of the blade make it ideal for cutting manipulations, but not for heavy chopping loads.
