Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel – D2 (hardness 64 HRC): The blade is made of D2 steel, known for its high hardness and excellent wear resistance. At a hardness level of 64 HRC, the knife retains the sharpness of the blade for a long time, even during intensive use. D2 is a semi—rusting tool steel with a high carbon and chromium content, which provides balanced corrosion resistance — the knife tolerates wet conditions well, but requires careful care and drying after use to prevent corrosion.
Handle material – birch bark: Natural birch bark is a classic material with exceptional ergonomic qualities. Not only does it have a natural aesthetic and a unique handmade texture, but it also guarantees a warm, pleasant grip even in wet or cold conditions. This handle does not slip in the hand, providing a reliable and comfortable hold — this is critical for long-term outdoor work and active use.
Blade Shape – Normal Blade: The classic shape of the Normal Blade is versatile and easy to control. This geometry is ideal for most household, hiking and camping tasks, from cutting food and woodwork to performing precision operations and filigree cuts.
Dimensions and balance: The length of the blade is 117 mm, the thickness is 2.4 mm, the width is 21 mm. This size ensures a balance between precision and the required blade strength. The symmetrical handle length (117 mm) additionally ensures optimal weight distribution and comfort even during long-term operation.
Sheath – leather: The reliable handmade leather scabbard ensures safe transportation and storage, emphasizing the exclusivity of the product.
Optimal application, advantages and limitations
Scope of application: The Cardinal knife is an excellent choice for tourism, fishing, hunting, picnics, as well as household and household needs. It will perfectly prove itself as a universal forest knife, a knife for cutting and cooking, including in nature.
Retention: The birch bark handle provides a secure grip even with wet hands, minimizes the risk of slipping, and does not "chill" the palm in the cold.
Wear resistance and durability: D2 steel with high hardness can withstand significant loads on the cutting edge and does not require sharpening for a long time.
Corrosion resistance: D2 protects against most household and natural factors, but do not leave the knife wet or store it in humid conditions to prevent the appearance of pitting.
Care and sharpening: D2 is relatively easy to sharpen on diamond and ceramic stones, but due to its high hardness, it requires careful handling when sharpening. After use, cleaning and dry wiping are recommended, as well as periodic treatment with steel and handle oils.
Restrictions: It is not recommended for cutting hard materials (for example, bones, thick branches), as well as for metal work. High hardness increases brittleness under excessive fracture stresses.
Key features and unique moments
The hand—made assembly and unique aesthetics of the birch bark handle make each knife unique - the product will be a worthy gift and part of the collection.
The universal shape of the Normal Blade is combined with a particularly durable tool D2, providing both reliability for household tasks and high cutting accuracy for cooking and woodwork.
The classic design with a leather scabbard emphasizes the continuity of the best traditions of the Russian knife craft — such a knife deserves a place not only in the equipment, but also in the collection of a connoisseur of handmade.
Brief recommendations, care and withdrawal
Thanks to the combination of durable D2 steel, an ergonomic birch bark handle and the universal shape of the Normal Blade, the Cardinal knife will become a reliable assistant for tourists, hunters, fishermen and anyone who appreciates practicality, durability and individuality of handwork. It best manifests itself as a universal forest knife, a kitchen assistant in nature or at home.
Care: After work, wipe the blade dry, store it in a cool, dry place, and periodically treat the steel and handle with natural oils. Avoid cutting hard materials into a fracture and exposed to prolonged exposure to moisture.
Output: This knife is ideal for active travelers, hunters, fishermen and lovers of stylish handmade products who appreciate reliability, long service life and individual approach of the master. It is not optimal for heavy chopping and work on superhard materials.
