K340 Blade steel: The Austrian Böhler K340 tool steel is one of the most durable and wear—resistant steels, specially designed for extreme applications. The hardness of 62 HRC ensures excellent cutting edge durability: the knife remains sharp for a long time, even with intensive use. Due to the content of chromium, molybdenum and vanadium, steel has high corrosion resistance and reacts poorly to contact with moisture — the blade does not rust in the field and in everyday life, which is extremely important for universal and camping knives. At the same time, the K340 easily perceives sharpening and allows you to restore razor sharpness even in field conditions without special equipment.
Blade design and shape: The thickness of 2.4 mm and the width of 34 mm with a length of 117 mm make the knife maneuverable, perfectly balanced and very versatile. The shape of the blade — Normal Blade — is universal: ideal for cutting, planing, skinning, woodwork and products. The guard provides additional safety during power work, protecting fingers from slipping on the blade.
Karelian birch handle with artificial stone insert: Karelian birch is a recognized standard of natural beauty and ergonomics. It fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, does not slip even in wet conditions due to its fine-pored structure and moisture-resistant impregnation. The artificial stone insert adds durability and a unique appearance, emphasizing the individuality of each product. The handle length of 115 mm allows you to confidently hold the knife in any grip, which is especially important for long-term work.
Leather sheath: The exquisite classic scabbard ensures a secure hold of the knife and ease of carrying – an excellent accessory for hunting, hiking or everyday urban use.
Thanks to the combination of wear-resistant K340 steel, universal blade shape and ergonomic handle, the knife is ideal for:

Knife care
The blade made of K340 steel requires almost no special care: it is enough to wash and wipe dry after work, especially after contact with an aggressive environment. To maintain the brightness and depth of the pattern on the Karelian birch handle, it is recommended to periodically treat it with a special oil or wax for wood — this will prolong its service life and preserve its unique appearance. The artificial stone on the handle is maintenance-free. It is advisable to lubricate the leather sheath with a skin conditioner to avoid drying out.
Brief recommendation and conclusion
The Cheetah with a K340 steel blade and a Karelian birch handle with artificial stone is an ideal choice for connoisseurs of reliable, beautiful and convenient knives who are looking for a versatile tool for hunting, tourism and everyday life. The unique combination of materials and handwork emphasize the individuality of the owner. This knife will be especially appreciated by hunters, tourists and collectors, for whom high cutting ability, resistance to moisture and durability are important, but for extremely heavy power work it is worth choosing a model with a more massive blade.
