Blade steel KN-01 (HRC 70): The blade is made of KH-01 steel with an outstanding hardness of 70 HRC, which determines the tremendous wear resistance of the cutting edge and the long-term preservation of sharpness. Due to this hardness, the knife holds steady sharpening even during intensive use, confidently handles hard materials and easily withstands work with wood, leather, food and other medium- and hard-bodied materials. However, such a high hardness requires careful attention: steel is less ductile and is at risk of chipping under shock loads and strong lateral forces. KN-01 resists corrosion well with proper care, but it does not have absolute stainless resistance — it is recommended to regularly wipe and lubricate the blade.
Drop Point Blade Shape: The classic Drop Point shape is versatile and balanced for most tasks. The butt line smoothly descends to the tip, which gives excellent handling and reliability during precise work, injections and cutting. This form is ideal for tourism, hunting (butchering, skinning), fishing and daily tasks (EDC). The blade width of 25 mm and thickness of 2.4 mm ensure reliability when cutting, as well as an excellent sense of control.
Handle: Karelian birch + Black hornbeam. Premium natural materials give the knife a statuesque appearance and a unique texture. Karelian birch is known for its density, decorative texture and pleasant tactile sensation, while black hornbeam has high hardness, moisture resistance and abrasion resistance. This combination provides excellent ergonomics and moisture resistance of the handle. Due to the optimal shape and the presence of a guard, the knife is securely fixed in the hand even with wet or dirty palms.
Guard and leather scabbard: The guard provides additional safety by preventing the hand from slipping onto the blade during force cutting. The leather scabbard is not only a practical accessory for safe storage and transportation, but also a stylish classic detail that emphasizes the handmade and traditional approach to creating a knife.
Size and balance: The blade length of 148 mm and the handle length of 137 mm create the perfect balance for versatile tasks — the knife is great for hiking, bushcraft, hunting, fishing and everyday use in nature.

- For heavy kitchen tasks on bones and frozen meat, it is better to use specialized tools.
Care recommendations
- Wipe the blade thoroughly after use, avoid prolonged contact with moisture.
- It is recommended to periodically apply a thin layer of neutral oil to the blade to prevent corrosion.
- Do not use the knife to work with bones, metal, or other materials for which special tools are designed.
- The handle made of Karelian birch and black hornbeam is durable and does not require special care, but it is recommended to avoid prolonged contact with aggressive liquids, strong temperature fluctuations and prolonged exposure to water.
