Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel: forged 95X18 (HRC 58)
The blade is made of corrosion-resistant forged steel 95X18 with a hardness of 58 HRC. This steel is known for its high resistance to rust and moisture — the knife is great for use in damp climates, fishing, hunting or hiking. The use of forging enhances the strength of the blade, giving it additional structural reliability. The hardness of 58 HRC provides a good combination of wear resistance and relative ease of sharpening: the knife keeps sharpening for a long time with careful operation and does not require specific maintenance procedures, which makes it versatile for field conditions.
Handle material: birch bark
The handle made of natural birch bark is an eco—friendly, warm-to-the-touch material with excellent anti-slip properties even in a wet hand or in the cold. This handle is less prone to slipping, does not cause the cold sensation characteristic of metal or plastic handles, and perfectly absorbs the palm. An additional bonus is lightness: the knife feels comfortable in the hand, the handle is resistant to temperature fluctuations and does not overheat in the sun.
Blade Shape: Drop Point
The classic geometry of the Drop Point ensures the versatility of the knife. Due to its smooth descent to the tip, the blade is great for controlled cuts, skinning game, butchering fish, and small-scale kitchen work. The width (31 mm) and thickness (2.4 mm) of the blade make it balanced: thin enough for precise work, while strong enough to withstand moderate loads.
Other design features
The length of the blade (118 mm) and the handle (122 mm) form the necessary ergonomics for most palms — the knife fits perfectly in the hand. The set includes a leather scabbard that emphasizes the status and handiwork of the product, as well as protects the blade during transportation.
Main areas of application and optimal tasks
- Hunting (butchering and skinning).
- Fishing (slicing, filleting, working with small game and fish).
- Hiking, hiking, camping trips (universal assistance at the campsite).
- Household and kitchen work (vegetables, fruits, small products).
- Collecting (handmade, natural materials, aesthetics).
Advantages and limitations of the product
- High corrosion resistance: Ideal for outdoor use, resistant to moisture.
- Excellent ergonomics: The birch bark handle is comfortable, non-slip, and does not feel cold in the palm of your hand.
- Balanced blade shape: Versatile — it can handle precise cutting and moderate loads.
- Easy to care for: It does not require complex maintenance, it is easily sharpened by traditional methods.
- Handmade and exclusive: Each knife is unique, which is valuable for collectors and connoisseurs.
- Restrictions:
-
It is not intended for heavy cutting operations (batoning, planing of large branches) due to the average thickness and geometry of the blade.
- The birch bark handle requires avoiding prolonged exposure to water in order to preserve its appearance and properties.
- The length and shape of the blade are optimal for small and medium tasks, but not for heavy power cutting or "kitchen chopping".
Care recommendations
- Wipe the blade dry after use, especially after contact with salt water or acids.
- Periodically treat the handle with natural wood oil to preserve its appearance and elasticity.
- Keep the knife in a leather sheath in a dry place, do not allow the birch bark to get wet for a long time.
- The blade is easy to sharpen with traditional water stones or pastes.
Summary and recommendations
This knife is ideal for lovers of hunting, fishing, tourists and those who appreciate the combination of quality, handmade and natural materials. Its versatility, reliability and ease of care make it an excellent choice for active people, and its unique aesthetics will especially delight collectors. It is not recommended for those who need a tool for heavy chopping or "survival" in extreme conditions — for this it is better to choose a knife with a larger thickness and a different blade shape.
Что порадовало:
1. Оперативность работы по заказу, отслеживание и информирование этапов его прохождения.
2. "Кречет" в руке, как сказка, влитой просто. "Вепрь" тоже ничего, но, какой-то, более прямолинейный.
3. Заточка. Бумагу режут, волосы бреют.
4. Ножны. Мне понравились. Кожа не тонкая, время покажет.
Что не очень понравилось:
1. На воренении "Вепря" механическое повреждение покрытия, похоже от заточного приспособления.
2. Клинок "Кречета" чуток недошлифован, но уже заполирован, соответственно видны все следы обработки металла.
3. Просил фирменное клеймо на клинки, но поставили только на "Кречет".
В целом ножи понравились, но лоска немного не хватает.
