The S390 premium steel blade is the real pinnacle of modern powder technology. S390 steel is known for its extremely high tungsten and vanadium content, which provides record hardness up to 70 HRC and excellent cutting edge durability. This knife retains its sharpness even during prolonged and intensive work, withstanding loads where most other steels are inferior. Steel has high wear resistance and is minimally susceptible to shortening its service life when working with abrasives and hard materials.
Corrosion resistance of S390 is average: it is higher than most tool steels, but lower than its stainless counterparts. Due to its structure, steel requires regular maintenance — wiping and drying after use in humid conditions or in contact with corrosive media.
The blade thickness of 3 mm and length of 127 mm form a balance between durability and ease of cutting. This geometry is optimal for cutting, planing, performing subtle and confident movements when working with wood, leather, and products.
The handle made of three materials — ironwood, carbon fiber and black hornbeam — is not only visually impressive, but also a fully functional solution. Ironwood is famous for its phenomenal hardness and moisture resistance, carbon fiber gives lightness, strength and a modern character, and black hornbeam provides tactile comfort, does not slip even in a wet hand, and is resistant to abrasion. The balanced ergonomics of the handle guarantees a firm grip in all conditions, reducing fatigue during prolonged operation.
Blade shape: Normal Blade is a classic, proven over the centuries. The straight line of the cutting edge and the tip located in the center make the knife a versatile working tool suitable for most household and field tasks — from cooking to small carpentry or camping applications.
The genuine leather sheath complements the ensemble of materials, ensuring not only a presentable appearance, but also the safety of storing and transporting the knife. Genuine leather is wear-resistant, durable and protects the blade well.
Precise analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
Ideal for:
- Field work, tourism, bushcraft — the high hardness and wear resistance of the blade allow planing, wood processing, and cutting of any camping materials.
- Hunting and butchering, thanks to the long-term preservation of sharpness.
- Cooking in nature: the blade easily handles cutting meat, fish, vegetables, bread.
- Gift, collectible purposes — premium materials make the knife a status accessory.
Advantages:
- Unique cutting edge durability and minimal overfilling requirements thanks to S390 steel.
- The combination of handle materials ensures excellent grip and safe use in all weather conditions.
- An aesthetic that combines the authenticity of wood, the adaptability of carbon fiber and the classics of black hornbeam.
- Durable sharpening, suitable for precision work and power cutting.
- High-quality scabbard protects the knife and the user.
Restrictions:
- It is not recommended for cutting acid-salt products and prolonged work in a humid environment — steel requires regular maintenance and careful attention to avoid corrosion.
- The high hardness makes it difficult to edit the house without specialized diamond or ceramic abrasives.
- It is not intended for heavy batoning on bones or metal objects — there is a risk of microcracks under extreme loads.
Care features and specific recommendations
After use, wipe the blade dry, use silicone oil to protect against corrosion, especially when stored in humid conditions. Do not leave the knife in the leather sheath for a long time without ventilation — the natural moisture of the skin can accelerate oxidation. For sharpening, use diamond or ceramic bars to maintain the perfect angle and sharpness. Gently wipe the handle with a damp cloth, avoiding aggressive detergents.
Short recommendations: for whom this knife is the perfect choice
This knife is designed for discerning users who appreciate the highest durability, premium materials and impeccable handmade aesthetics. It will be an ideal companion for hunters, tourists, collectors or the discerning connoisseur of practical accessories. For work where absolute moisture resistance or ease of sharpening in the field is important, it is better to consider models made of stainless steel and with a less rigid blade.
