Each knife is created by hand, and only selected materials are used in production. The blade is made of Japanese steel AUS-1060 HRC quenching, a high—carbon stainless steel known for its balance of sharpness and wear resistance. This steel is specially selected for the knife, which must combine durability, corrosion resistance and excellent ability to hold the cutting edge for a long time.
The handle made of natural birch bark not only stands out aesthetically with its warm yellow hue, but also gives a pleasant, tenacious grip in any weather, both in dry conditions and in humid environments. The light texture of the birch bark gently dampens, reducing fatigue even during prolonged work, and does not cool the hand. The classic vegetable-tanned leather scabbard emphasizes the product's status and protects the blade in the field.
Technical characteristics and design features
Blade Steel:AUS-10 is stainless steel, high hardness (60 HRC), resistant to discoloration and retains sharpening for a long time.
Blade thickness:2.4 mm is optimal for the balance between strength and ease of cutting.
Blade length:120 mm is a universal size for hunting, hiking and household tasks.
Blade width:34mm wide blade is convenient to control and easy to clean.
Handle length: 115 mm — ergonomically shaped for a secure grip even with a glove.

Purpose and optimal use cases
This knife is designed for hunting, fishing, camping trips, woodwork and universal field use. The shape of the Normal Blade makes it easy to perform both precise cuts and cutting. The AUS-10 reliably cuts even tendons and skin, without requiring frequent sharpening; at the same time, the knife does an excellent job with cutting game, slicing food, preparing fuel for a campfire and other camp tasks.
The birch bark handle ensures confident control of the knife even with wet or frozen hands, does not slip, and retains heat quickly. The wide blade makes skinning easier and provides a neat, even cut without excessive pressure.
Advantages and limitations
Advantages:
Long sharpening time and high cutting quality thanks to the steel AUS-10 (60 HRC).
Excellent resistance to moisture and corrosion — can be used in humid environments, fishing, and in the rain.
The birch bark handle is non-slip, pleasant to the touch, dries quickly, and has natural antibacterial properties.
It is easy to sharpen — even in hiking conditions, quick edging of the cutting edge is possible.
The aesthetics of the handmade and the uniqueness of the product — each knife is individual.
Limitations:
It is not recommended to use it for powerful impact work (batoning, heavy scrap), since the thin butt (2.4 mm) is designed for a neat cut, not for rough chopping.
Birch bark is susceptible to prolonged exposure to aggressive media (oils, chemicals) and requires minimal maintenance.
It is not specialized for ultra-fine milling or tactical tasks.
Care recommendations and final choice
Periodic straightening on leather or fine-grained stone is sufficient to maintain a perfectly sharp cut. After use, especially in humid conditions, it is recommended to wipe and dry the knife; the birch bark handle can occasionally be soaked with natural oil to protect and preserve the bright texture. Do not store the knife in a wet sheath for a long time.
Conclusion: The knife will become a reliable assistant for hunters, anglers, tourists and anyone who appreciates high-quality hand tools with a bright personality. For those who are looking for durability, versatility and aesthetics in one product, the Cheetah is an excellent choice. It is not suitable for extreme strength tasks and metal or concrete work.
