Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel (HW5, hardness 65 HRC): Tool steel HV5 is famous for its outstanding hardness (up to 65 HRC), which ensures phenomenal wear resistance and long-term preservation of the cutting edge. Due to its high hardening, the knife perfectly copes with long-term work on wood, leather, small bones and other organic materials. However, increased hardness is accompanied by a certain fragility: it is not recommended to use a knife for chopping or power work, where there is a risk of chipping. The resistance of steel to moisture and corrosion is average — HV5 requires regular maintenance, careful wiping and, when stored in humid conditions, the application of protective oil.
Blade shape: Trailing point. The trailing point blade features a thin, raised tip and a long cutting edge line, making it ideal for precise, controlled cuts, butchering, skinning, and any manipulation where filigree work is important. This shape is especially appreciated among hunters and tourists involved in trophy processing — thanks to the careful "extraction" of the tip, it is easy to make incisions without damaging the internal tissues.
Handle materials: stabilized Karelian birch (green), black hornbeam. The stabilized Karelian birch not only emphasizes the unique aesthetics and individuality of each specimen, but also significantly surpasses classical wood in terms of resistance to moisture, bio-contamination and temperature fluctuations. Black hornbeam inserts add a premium feel to the handle and make the grip more confident. The ergonomic shape of the handle and the natural wood texture ensure a secure grip even with gloves or wet hands. The handle length (125 mm) is optimal for most palms.
Dimensions and construction: The 145 mm long blade with a width of 40 mm and a thickness of 2.4 mm is balanced for universal use — from delicate work to butchering small carcasses. The genuine leather sheath emphasizes the artisan approach and ensures stylish and safe carrying of the knife.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
- Optimal application: Hunting (skinning, butchering), hiking, camping, camping, collecting.
- Advantages: Extreme sharpness preservation, aesthetics of premium materials, excellent handling of the blade, natural ergonomics of the handle, high wear resistance, attractive appearance for collectors.
- Restrictions: It is not intended for forceful hacking, cutting bones, or working on hard or mineral materials. Due to its high hardness, steel will require a specialized abrasive when sharpening. It requires regular maintenance (wiping, lubrication) to protect against corrosion.
Unique features
The combination of stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam is not only practical, but also extremely aesthetically pleasing: the handle of each knife is unique in its wood pattern, which makes the product truly collectible. HV5 — steel, which has historically proven itself in carpenters' and hunters' tools, is now being revealed in elegant modern processing. The shape of the trailing point gives the knife a distinctive appearance and functionality relevant for fine and filigree work.
Care recommendations
Wipe the blade dry after use, avoid prolonged contact with moisture. Store the knife in a dry place, periodically apply a thin layer of neutral oil to the blade. The stabilized handle does not require complicated maintenance; it is enough to periodically clean dirt with a soft cloth. Do not use a knife to cut hard materials — this will prolong the service life of the cutting edge.
Brief recommendation and conclusion
This knife is ideal for hunters, hikers, and connoisseurs of unique handmade products who value durability, aesthetics, and comfort in their work. If you need a tool for fine processing, cutting and universal use in the field, this is your choice. The knife is not recommended for rough, power tasks and intensive chopping. Its advantages will truly be revealed in the hands of those who appreciate the traditions of Russian knife-making, high durability and individuality of each specimen.
