Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel D2 (HRC 64): The legendary D2 tool steel with high hardness (64 HRC) guarantees excellent wear resistance, which makes this knife particularly resistant to bluntness even under heavy use. D2 refers to semi-rusting steels: it resists corrosion well, but not completely, so it requires minimal maintenance (especially when in contact with moisture or food). The high hardness provides excellent retention of the cutting edge, but makes the steel slightly more brittle compared to softer grades, so it is better not to use the knife for heavy impact work (chopping bones, opening metal cans).
Handle material — wenge: Natural exotic wenge wood is not only aesthetics and status, but also a feeling of confidence in the hand. Wenge feels good in the palm of your hand, and it doesn't slip even in wet conditions, thanks to its natural texture and density. Due to its high density, wood is resistant to moisture and deformation, but regular oil or wax nutrition is recommended to preserve its appearance. The dark, deep shade gives the knife a noble, classic look.
The shape of the blade is Spear Point: Spear Point is versatile and has its roots in classic Finnish and 20th century army knives. Due to its symmetry and central point, it is ideal for thrusting and cutting movements. The shape is perfectly balanced for precise work (for example, skinning, cutting, fine slicing), and the reinforced tip makes it easy to deal with punctures of dense materials. However, due to the thinness of the tip, excessive lateral force is not recommended.
Dimensions:The 160 mm long and 3 mm thick blade is a universal balance between maneuverability and power. The 120 mm handle length fits most palms well, providing a secure and comfortable grip for both gloved and bare-handed use.
Scabbard — leather:The classic leather scabbard supports the appearance of the product and securely locks the knife when carrying, protecting the blade from moisture and mechanical damage.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
- Optimal tasks:It is ideal for tourism, hunting, bushcraft, fishing, field work, camping, as well as for collectors who appreciate the combination of traditions and modern materials. Great for butchering game, slicing food, precision woodwork, and camping.
- Resistance to moisture and corrosion:high for D2, but not absolute — it is recommended to wipe and keep the blade dry during storage. The wenge handle is resistant to moisture, not prone to swelling and cracking.
- Wear resistance and durability: outstanding thanks to D2 and high HRC — the blade does not dull for a very long time during normal tasks.
- Maintenance and care:It is more difficult to sharpen D2 than carbon steel, but once every few months with regular use is quite enough. For wenge, a minimum of care is required: periodic oil treatment will preserve its appearance for many years to come.
- Limitations:It is not recommended for heavy batoning, bone cutting and opening metal cans — the Spear Point and high hardness make the blade sensitive to extreme loads. It is not suitable for work in the kitchen that requires cushioning or rapid movement changes (for example, chopping vegetables at speed).
Unique moments and historical heritage
This model is inspired by the traditional "finks" of Soviet sappers: the combination of a symmetrical blade and an ergonomic wooden handle has been tested for decades. Such a knife will become not only a working tool, but also a striking exhibit of the collection, emphasizing the connection with history and manual labor.
Recommendations and conclusion
Suitable for whom: This knife is an ideal choice for hunters, tourists, connoisseurs of high—quality materials and handmade, those who are looking for a versatile and reliable tool with a historical character. It is also suitable for collectors who love classics in modern materials.
Who is not suitable: It is not recommended for heavy power and kitchen work where high blade ductility or safe handling of bones/frozen foods is required.
Care: After use, wipe the blade dry, store it in a leather sheath, and periodically sharpen it on high-quality stones. For the handle, it is treated with oil or wax once a season to maintain color depth and water—repellent properties .
Briefly:If you value durability, aesthetics, historical traditions and impeccable cutting ability, this knife will be your faithful companion for many years to come.
