The Cardinal 2 is equipped with a blade made of premium Elmax powder steel with a hardness of 63 HRC — this is one of the standards of modern knife production. This steel provides phenomenal wear resistance, strong corrosion resistance and long-term preservation of cutting edge sharpness. The blade is 2.4mm thick and 150 mm long, perfectly balanced between durability and versatility.
The handle is made of black hornbeam, a valuable wood species with a high density and pleasant tactile texture, and is complemented with nickel silver inserts, which not only emphasizes the aesthetics of the product, but also increases resistance to mechanical influences. The handle fits comfortably in the palm of your hand due to its well-thought-out shape, which ensures a reliable grip in various operating conditions.
The classic-shaped blade (Normal Blade) makes the knife a versatile tool for most household, hiking and hunting tasks, including grocery work, fine cutting and precision operations.

Advantages of the product
Limitations and areas for which the knife is not suitable
- It is not recommended for heavy woodwork (batoning, forging, machete work): because of the thin blade and profile shape. It is not intended for rough construction or extreme survival scenarios where increased emphasis is required on the strength of the butt or the massiveness of the blade.
- It is not suitable for opening metal cans or other tasks that go beyond the scope of household and hunting use.
- It requires careful handling of the wooden handle: avoid prolonged and intense wetting, despite the high density of hornbeam.
Care recommendations
- Elmax steel is easy to refine: to maintain high sharpness, it is recommended to use fine-grained stones or special sandpaper bars.
- It is recommended to rinse and wipe the blade thoroughly after contact with acids and seawater.
- The hornbeam handle should be periodically wiped with a soft, damp cloth, avoiding prolonged contact with water and direct sunlight.
- Keep the knife in a leather sheath in a dry place.
Final recommendation
Cardinal 2 is ideal for sophisticated connoisseurs of handmade and premium materials, those who appreciate versatility, durability and aesthetics. It is an excellent choice for tourism, hunting, outdoor activities, collection and daily use. For those who value maximum massiveness and the possibility of extreme loads, it is worth considering models with a thicker or specialized blade.

Пришёл вовремя. От ножа двойственное чувство: режет неплохо, но "заводская" заточка оставляет желать лучшего, нож ближе к острию не режет, а давит помидор, ближе к рукояти нужно пилить!
И вообще нет ощущения надёжности в ноже.
Не рискну резать кость или вскрыть банку, как это делали в роликах. Какой-то "хлипкий. Впрочем подожду с окончательным выводом до серьёзной работы.
