Detailed analysis of the characteristics and features of the knife
Blade steel — S390 (hardness 70 HRC): This knife is made of modern high-speed S390 steel with exceptional hardness of 70 HRC. Due to its high vanadium and cobalt content, S390 steel provides outstanding wear resistance and long-term cutting edge retention, which is especially important for intensive use. The blade does an excellent job on hard materials, does not require frequent sharpening and retains its working sharpness even under regular loads. However, high hardness requires care: it is not recommended to use a knife for cutting bones or working on metal to eliminate the risk of chipping.
Handle — wenge, black hornbeam and nickel silver: Premium natural wood species such as wenge and black hornbeam, as well as decorative inserts made of nickel silver, were selected for the manufacture of the handle. Natural wood processing provides pleasant tactile sensations and a secure grip, even with a wet hand. Wenge and hornbeam are resistant to moisture and mechanical damage, do not crack or deform under temperature changes, and nickel silver adds an expressive accent to the product and increases the durability of the handle fit.
Geometry and shape of the blade — Drop Point: The classic Drop Point shape with a length of 118 mm, a thickness of 2.4 mm and a width of 31 mm gives the knife versatility and makes it particularly effective for cutting, piercing and thinning. This geometry of the blade is ideal for precision work: cutting game, cooking, household and tourist tasks. The rational balance of width and thickness ensures excellent handling and cutting control.
Protection against moisture and corrosion: S390 high-speed steel is resistant to corrosion, and the handle made of dense wood and nickel silver is not afraid of moisture with proper care. The leather sheath provides additional protection for the knife during transportation and storage, preventing scratches.
Features of care and maintenance: Due to its high hardness, S390 steel requires less sharpening, but diamond or ceramic abrasives are recommended to maintain factory sharpness. To prevent oxidation, it is recommended to periodically treat the blade with special oils. It is advisable to wipe the handle made of natural wood occasionally with wax or oil to preserve its noble appearance and protect it from drying out.
Optimal application and key advantages
- Ideal for hunting and butchering trophies: thinning, skinning, precise incisions.
- An excellent companion for hiking trips — cooking, everyday life, cutting wood and synthetics.
- Resistant to intensive use, it does not lose its sharpness during prolonged operation.
- Handmade aesthetics, each handle is unique in structure and shade.
- It is comfortable in the hand in any weather due to the combination of wood and metal.
- It is attractive to collectors due to its noble materials and workmanship.
Limitations and points requiring attention
- It is not intended for power work (cutting bones, opening metal objects) — chipping is possible due to high hardness.
- It requires careful care of the blade and handle to maintain its appearance and performance.
- It is not suitable for work with aggressive chemical media — it is possible to change the color of wood or nickel silver.
Final recommendation
This knife is the choice of connoisseurs of high—quality materials, designer aesthetics and high performance. It is optimal for hunters, tourists, collectors and those who are looking for a reliable tool for sophisticated tasks and daily use outside of an aggressive environment. It is ideal where durability, a sharp blade and comfort in the hand are important. It is not suitable for heavy work with high impact load and operation in extremely aggressive environments.
Care recommendation: keep the blade clean, store the knife in dry conditions, periodically soak the handle with oil or wax, sharpen it with modern abrasives — and your knife will last for many years without losing its unique style and practical sharpness.
