Precise description of properties and features
Blade steel HV5 (hardness HRC 65): The knife is made of high-carbon tool steel HV5, hardened to a hardness of 65 HRC. This combination provides outstanding wear resistance and long-term retention of cutting edge sharpness. HV5 is a steel focused on maximum strength when working with vegetable and food materials, wood, leather. However, such high hardness requires careful handling of excessive fracture stresses and transverse impacts, as the blade may be more sensitive to chipping compared to soft and viscous steels. Steel is prone to corrosion, so regular maintenance is necessary: wipe and lubricate the blade after use, especially in wet conditions.
Handle material: stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam, color — blue:The exclusive combination of stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam creates not only a spectacular appearance, but also a practical, durable solution. Stabilized wood absorbs almost no moisture, is not susceptible to cracking, and is resistant to temperature fluctuations and environmental influences. The black hornbeam gives the handle density, clear geometry and a pleasant tactile “warmth”, which is especially felt when working in cold weather. The handle guarantees a secure grip even in wet and polluted conditions, combining aesthetics and high ergonomics.
Dimensions and shape of the blade:The 142 mm long, 2.4mm thick and 30 mm wide blade provides versatility. This size is ideal for most household, hiking and hunting tasks, including grocery work, clearing, cutting wood, cutting game and fish. The shape (to specify if necessary) is usually classic on such models — with a descent from the butt, which allows you to perform a wide range of cutting operations with precision and control.
The scabbard: Genuine leather is not only a traditional, but also an aesthetically attractive option for carrying a knife safely. They protect the blade from environmental influences and make transportation convenient.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
- Optimal tasks:universal camping knife; preparing food for camping; hunting (cutting and skinning small and medium-sized animals); fishing; bushcraft and woodwork. High hardness and fine edge output ensure filigree cutting and confident work with wood or leather.
- Confident retention:The shape and texture of the handle are designed for a secure grip in all conditions: with wet hands, in cold weather, or during prolonged work.
- Resistance to moisture and corrosion: The stabilized handle is absolutely not afraid of moisture, however, the blade made of HV5 steel is prone to rust and requires preventive maintenance. Regular lubrication of the blade is recommended for use in conditions of constant dampness.
- Wear resistance and durability: The outstanding hardness of the blade ensures a long service life without the need for frequent sharpening. Steel is resistant to abrasion, but requires protection from aggressive mechanical influences (impacts on bones, metal, stone).
- Ease of maintenance: The HV5 can be sharpened even in the field, but due to its high hardness, it is better to use high-quality abrasives (diamond or ceramic). The handle does not require complicated maintenance — it is enough to wipe off dirt.
- Limitations: It is not intended for heavy work on bones, opening metal cans or chopping large wood. It is not recommended to use in conditions of high humidity without careful care of the blade. High hardness requires careful handling of transverse loads and bends.
Uniqueness and aesthetics
This knife is the embodiment of the traditional Scandinavian and Russian hunting heritage, combined with modern technologies for wood stabilization and heat treatment of steel. Each specimen is unique in the pattern and shade of the handle. The blue of the stabilized Karelian birch makes the knife an exclusive collection item and a stylish tool for connoisseurs of handmade and natural materials. The classic shape reflects the balance between practicality and aesthetics.
Care recommendations
- Blade made of HV5: wipe dry and lubricate regularly after use, especially in damp conditions and after contact with salt water or food.
- Use diamond or ceramic stones for sharpening. Avoid aggressive edging on very hard surfaces.
- Handle: does not require special treatment, but can be wiped with natural oil during long-term storage to maintain shine and color. Do not expose the knife to extreme heat or overdrying.
- Keep the knife in a dry leather sheath, avoid prolonged contact with moisture inside the sheath.
