Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel: Spring steel from UAZ
The blade is made of spring steel, known for its outstanding strength and elasticity. This material has historically been used for the manufacture of automobile springs, which indicates a high ability to withstand significant loads and withstand impacts without the risk of cracks or deformations. The hardness of 60 HRC is a high indicator for such steel, due to which the knife has excellent wear resistance, keeps sharpening for a long time, without requiring frequent straightening. However, spring steel is less resistant to corrosion compared to modern alloy versions — it requires regular maintenance and protection from moisture.
Dimensions and geometry
With a blade thickness of 2.4 mm and a length of 135 mm, an optimal balance is achieved between durability and versatility of use. The blade width of 30 mm allows you to confidently control the knife at various cuts. The 125 mm long handle ensures a comfortable grip even in a large palm, and the genuine leather scabbard guarantees safe and stylish wearing.
Hand hold
Due to the well-thought-out length of the handle, the knife lies confidently in the hand, stable even in humidity, if the handle material is not slippery (the characteristics of the specific material are not specified). Combined with proper balancing, the knife is great for long-term outdoor and workshop work.
Wear resistance and corrosion resistance
Spring steel (even of high hardness) perfectly holds sharpening and resists significant physical exertion, withstands cutting wood, bones, and hard materials. However, the corrosion resistance is not maximum: the knife is easily susceptible to rusting when in contact with water or aggressive media, and requires timely cleaning and drying after work.
Features of maintenance and care
The advantage of the knife is its ease of sharpening, even in the field: the blade is easily fixed with an ordinary stone or musat. To prevent corrosion, it is recommended to regularly oil the blade, avoid prolonged contact with moisture, and store it dry. The genuine leather of the scabbard also requires periodic treatment with special leather products.
Key advantages and limitations
- Advantages:high strength and reliability, retains its sharpness for a long time, ease of sharpening and repair, emphasized historical heritage (secondary life of spring steel).
- Limitations: It is not recommended for long-term operation in humid environments and kitchens with aggressive environments (sea water, acids), requires regular maintenance, and is less resistant to corrosion than modern stainless alloys.
Optimal application areas
This knife is an excellent choice for tourism, hunting, fishing, camping, woodwork, light household tasks, as well as for connoisseurs of products with a history and handmade. Due to the thickness and endurance of the blade, it will perfectly cope with cutting and fine planing. For collectors, it is interesting for the unique history of the material and the spirit of traditional craft.
It is not recommended for kitchen work with aggressive products, prolonged use on sea coasts and during frequent contact with moisture without the possibility of prompt maintenance.
