Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel: HW5
The blade is made of tool steel HV5, characterized by high hardness (65 HRC). This guarantees exceptional wear resistance of the cutting edge: the knife retains its sharpness for a long time even when actively used on hard materials. Due to its high carbon and chromium content, HV5 steel is significantly superior to most household steels in terms of abrasion resistance and crack formation. However, like most high—carbon steels, HV5 is sensitive to moisture: care recommendations must be followed - wipe the blade dry after work and occasionally use preservatives.
Handle material: Birch bark
The birch bark handle is a natural material that has excellent grip even in wet weather or in the cold. The birch bark handle remains warm to the touch and does not slip, which is especially important when working in wet conditions or when using the knife for a long time. At the same time, it is light and pleasant to the touch, which reduces arm fatigue. As a natural material, birch bark requires careful handling and periodic maintenance (for example, oil or wax treatment), but with proper care it serves for many years without losing its aesthetics.
Blade Shape: Normal Blade
The classic shape of the blade (Normal Blade) is universal — the knife perfectly copes with most household and tourist tasks: cutting food, cooking in nature, rope cutting, woodwork. The blade width (28 mm) and thickness (2.4 mm) provide a good balance between strength and durability: the knife is durable, but does not become too heavy and uncomfortable for delicate work. The blade length of 150 mm makes it optimal for universal use — from camping kitchens to craft tasks.
Grip reliability, ergonomics and scabbard
The ergonomics of the birch bark handle guarantees a secure grip in various conditions: the hand does not get tired even after prolonged work, and the natural texture prevents slipping. The leather sheath locks the knife tightly and reliably protects it during transportation, giving the product an additional emphasis on the traditional approach and the dignity of handmade.

- It is not intended for opening canned food, chopping bones and other heavy loads
