The length of the blade is 143 mm, the thickness of the butt is 2.4 mm, and the width is 23 mm. The handle is made of stabilized Karelian birch (purple), black hornbeam and decorated with nickel silver, which gives the product a unique character and expressive aesthetics, as well as reliability in operation. The handle length is 130 mm, the knife is equipped with a handmade leather sheath.
Features of S390 steel: wear resistance, corrosion resistance and sharpening
S390 is a modern powder—coated steel characterized by outstanding hardness (70 HRC) and phenomenal cutting edge resistance. It is designed specifically for maximum retention of sharpening and is used where a perfectly sharp tool is needed that does not require frequent sharpening, even during intensive work. The high content of tungsten and molybdenum gives the steel significant wear resistance and resistance to microcracks, which is especially important when cutting on hard materials.
At the same time, the S390 is well protected from corrosion, but minimal maintenance is recommended to maintain its perfect condition (wiping the blade after working in a humid environment).
Handle: materials and ergonomics of grip
The combination of stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam, complemented by nickel silver inserts, creates not only aesthetic chic, but also a practical solution for a comfortable, reliable grip. The stabilized birch is resistant to changes in humidity and temperature, does not crack and retains its color brightness. Black hornbeam adds durability and tactile pleasure. Due to the processing and shape of the handle, the knife holds steady even in a wet hand, which is especially important when working outdoors, fishing or in the field.
Blade shape and application area
The classic shape of the blade (Normal Blade) makes the knife truly versatile. It is ideal for precise and clean cuts, planing wood, cutting fish and meat, and working with products in nature. This profile is also useful when performing delicate work, such as skinning, stripping, and milling small trophies.
It will optimally manifest itself in hunting, tourism and fishing, as well as as a status gift or an element of a collection of handmade products.
Restrictions and recommendations for care
- It is not recommended to use the knife for working on bones and as a crowbar — S390 hard steel can be prone to chipping under extreme loads.
- Is not suitable for heavy chopping work — it copes better with precise cutting and planing.
- To preserve the cutting edge, use only specialized sharpening systems, and avoid low-quality abrasives.
- After use in wet or dirty conditions, wipe the blade and handle thoroughly dry. It is preferable to store the knife in a dry place in a genuine leather sheath.
- The stabilized birch does not require complicated maintenance — it is enough sometimes to wipe the handle with a dry soft cloth, avoiding aggressive chemicals.
