Ease of maintenance and maintenanceDetailed analysis of properties and features
The blade is made of K340 tool steel, one of the best in the category for knives designed for intensive use. This steel demonstrates outstanding wear resistance and strength, and due to its high hardness (62 HRC), it perfectly holds sharpening even during prolonged work on hard materials. K340 steel is resistant to chipping and mechanical damage, which is especially important when cutting hard wood, fabrics, plastic or other dense materials. Due to alloying and modern heat treatment technologies, K340 also has improved corrosion resistance compared to traditional carbon steels, although regular maintenance is recommended for maximum service life.
The use of exotic wenge wood not only gives the knife a premium appearance with a recognizable dark texture, but also provides resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations. Wenge has a high density, which prevents swelling and cracking even when actively used outdoors. Artificial stone inserts increase the strength and durability of the handle, protecting it from mechanical damage and deformations. The ergonomic shape of the handle, its length (120 mm), and the presence of a guard ensure a secure and comfortable grip even with gloves or wet hands, reducing the risk of slipping during power work.
The classic universal geometry with a straight butt (Normal Blade) makes the knife multifunctional. This form perfectly copes with most household, tourist and hunting tasks: cutting game, skinning, woodwork, rope cutting, products and packaging. The moderate thickness (2.4 mm) and width (25 mm) of the blade make it possible to combine delicate cutting with reliability during power operations.
The K340 holds its sharpening well and is relatively easy to clean with fine-grained abrasives. Regular wiping of the blade and periodic lubrication eliminate the appearance of corrosion even when operating in humid conditions. The wenge handle requires minimal maintenance — it is enough to occasionally wipe the wood with wax or mineral oil to preserve the color depth.
