Technical analysis and unique properties
Blade steel — HV5 (Hardness 65 HRC)
The blade is made of alloy tool steel HV5, which has an outstanding hardness of 65 HRC. This indicator provides exceptional cutting edge durability and high wear resistance of the knife. HV5 steel is famous for its ability to keep sharpening for a long time, even when actively used on tough materials. Due to its good carbon content and alloying additives, HV5 resists mechanical stress perfectly and rarely deforms even with considerable effort. However, this steel is less resistant to corrosion than its stainless counterparts — the knife is not designed for prolonged operation in a humid environment or for constant contact with products with high acidity.
The material of the handle is Bubinga
Bubinga wood is appreciated in the premium segment for its durability, beauty and pleasant texture. It is not only abrasion resistant, but also visually spectacular due to its rich natural pattern. The bubing handle fits well in the hand, does not slip even with gloves or wet palms. This ensures a secure grip and comfort during long-term operation.
Dimensions and shape
The 142 mm long, 30 mm wide and 2.4 mm thick blade is optimal for versatile tasks requiring control and precision. This geometry allows you to confidently perform cutting, cutting, stripping, as well as precise work in nature or at home. The 125 mm handle length creates a balance between the convenience of different brush sizes and the overall maneuverability of the knife.
(Clarification of the blade shape has not been provided — the following is an analysis of the geometry used for universal models with similar parameters.)
Scope of application: tasks and limitations
This knife performs well in such areas as:
- Hunting is the cutting and processing of trophies, due to the rigidity and durability of steel.
- Tourism, fishing, outdoor activities — versatility and reliability for camp work, cutting products, minor repairs of equipment.

Restrictions:
HV5 steel is susceptible to corrosion — the knife is not recommended for long-term use in a humid environment, seawater or in constant contact with fruit, vegetables and other highly acidic products. It is also not suitable for kitchen work involving butchering large amounts of raw fish or meat in water, and may require regular drying and cleaning after contact with moisture
