Blade steel: K340 (hardness 62 HRC)
The blade is made of Austrian tool steel K340, a modern material with high wear resistance and excellent cutting properties. The hardness of 62 HRC guarantees long-term retention of sharpening, even with active use, which makes the knife a reliable partner in the most demanding tasks. Due to its high corrosion resistance, K340 is suitable for long hikes, hunting and use in difficult weather conditions, while steel retains an aggressive cutting edge with minimal maintenance. However, it should be remembered: as with most tool steels, care after contact with moisture is required to preserve appearance and performance.
Handle material: Karelian birch, black hornbeam
The handle combines two premium materials: black hornbeam, known for its hardness, wear resistance and resistance to moisture, and stabilized Karelian birch with a unique texture and excellent ergonomic performance. This combination not only guarantees durability, but also creates a spectacular visual image, which is highly appreciated by both collectors and connoisseurs of practical solutions. The handle holds perfectly in the hand, both with a glove and a bare palm, and does not slip out in wet conditions due to its thoughtful shape and the use of natural materials. Due to the use of stabilized wood, the handle is resistant to shrinkage, swelling and cracking, which is critically important for knives of long-term use in nature.
Blade Shape: Normal Blade
The classic shape of the Normal Blade has versatility: the wide part of the blade is convenient for cutting, and the pronounced sharp tip is suitable for precise and delicate work. This is an ideal option for hunters and tourists: the knife can easily handle trophy cutting, cutting food, preparing wood for a campfire and small craft tasks. The 2.4 mm thickness gives the blade an optimal balance between strength and good cutting geometry, and the 115 mm length puts the knife in the category of universal field tools.
Other construction details
The handle length (117 mm) allows you to hold the knife securely with either hand, and the guard prevents accidental slipping of fingers on the cutting edge, which is important for safe operation in the field. The leather scabbard is a classic, it guarantees reliable wearing and additional protection of the blade, emphasizing the premium quality of the product.
