Technical specifications and materials
Blade steel: HV5 is a high—carbon tool steel with high hardness (65 HRC) and excellent wear resistance. This steel is famous for its ability to maintain its sharpness for a long time, withstand increased loads on the cutting edge and is resistant to the formation of jams and discolorations.
Blade thickness: 2.4 mm ensures a balance between durability and ease of cutting without adding unnecessary weight.
Blade length: 118 mm is the optimal choice for versatile tasks: from fine work to confident cutting of hard materials.
Blade width: 31 mm — guarantees convenience when working with products and materials of different densities.
Handle: Natural birch bark is an eco—friendly and traditional material with a warm texture, low thermal conductivity, pleasant tactility, and excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions.
Handle length: 122 mm fits well in a medium and large hand, provides maneuverability and reliable control.
The scabbard: Leather — protects the blade, allows you to comfortably carry the knife and quickly remove it.
Features of the form and functionality
Blade shape: Drop Point is a classic universal geometry characterized by a smooth descent to the tip. This increases the penetrating ability, allows you to confidently work with the tip (undercut, precise manipulation) and at the same time ensure excellent safety.
This blade performs well in the field (tourism, hunting, survival), as well as in the kitchen or in an urban EDC kit.
Sharpening and maintenance: The HW5 requires careful handling when sharpening — it is recommended to use diamond or ceramic stones. Despite its high hardness, the blade is easy to straighten and does not blunt for a long time when used correctly.
Resistance to external influences and wear
Moisture and corrosion resistance: HV5 is not stainless steel. To prevent corrosion, basic care is required: wipe and dry after work, especially when in contact with moisture, acids and food.
Wear resistance: Due to its high hardness and low tendency to discoloration, HV5 steel is ideal for demanding work related to cutting leather, wood, rope, and products. At the same time, it is not recommended to use a knife on bones, metal, or frozen foods — this can lead to chipping.
Birch bark handle: Is highly resistant to moisture, but after intense wetting, we recommend drying the product away from direct heat sources to preserve the shape and structure of the material.
Scope of application: advantages and limitations
Optimal tasks:universal cutting, woodwork, outdoor cooking, package opening, cutting small and medium game, household tasks in urban and tourist rhythms.
It doesn't fit well: for heavy impact work (batoning on large logs, opening metal cans), cutting bones, contact with solid minerals.
Collector's value: The traditional combination of a KHV5 blade and a birch bark handle is not only practical, but also a reference to the historical folk knives of the Russian North, which adds uniqueness and authenticity to the product.
Care recommendations and final tips
For a long service life, we recommend wiping and drying the blade after each use, periodically lubricating it with a thin layer of oil. In case of contamination, wipe the birch bark handle with a damp cloth and also dry it naturally. Sharpening — on diamond or ceramic stones.
Short recommendation: This knife is the perfect choice for those who appreciate the balance between traditional style, reliable handwork and high cutting power. It is especially relevant for hunters, tourists, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone who is looking for a versatile, reliable and aesthetic tool. For work on particularly hard materials or in aggressive environments, it is recommended to choose stainless steel models.
