Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: HW5 (65 HRC)
The blade is made of tool steel HV5, characterized by outstanding hardness — 65 HRC. This provides the Moray Eel knife with the highest wear resistance: the cutting edge retains its sharpness for a long time even with daily intensive use, it easily handles wood, leather, rope and textiles. However, such a high hardness means that steel is relatively brittle: The moray eel is not designed for cutting hard materials (such as bones or metal), as well as for fracture work.
Handle material: stabilized Karelian birch
The handle made of stabilized Karelian birch in a violet-blue color scheme is not only aesthetic, but also practical. Stabilization gives the wood moisture resistance, preventing cracking and deformation. This handle is maximally resistant to moisture and temperature changes, does not slip even in a wet palm, which is especially important for outdoor use and in conditions of high humidity. The ergonomic shape and length of 125 mm ensure a secure grip in various working positions.
Dimensions and balance
An optimally balanced knife with a blade length of 142 mm, a thickness of 2.4 mm and a width of 30 mm is a universal solution for most tasks of tourists, hunters, fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts.
Scabbard: leather

The stabilized Karelian birch is moisture—resistant, durable, beautiful, does not slip even in a wet hand.
Perfect balance and ergonomics — comfort during long-term work.
Collector's value: unique pattern and color of each specimen.

Limitations:
It is not intended for breaking, cutting bones, hard materials (stone, metal) — the cutting edge may chip due to the high hardness of the steel.
It requires careful handling: it is not allowed to be used as a screwdriver or crowbar.
High hardness makes it difficult to sharpen yourself — it is advisable to use special diamond cores.
Care recommendations
Despite the protection of the stabilized wood, it is recommended to wash and dry the blade after use, and from time to time lubricate the steel with a light layer of mineral oil to prevent corrosion.
For sharpening, use diamond or ceramic bars, taking into account the high hardness of HV5.
Do not expose the knife to aggressive environments for a long time and do not use it as scrap.
Final recommendation
The KHV5 steel Moray knife with a handle made of stabilized Karelian birch is an ideal choice for demanding tourists, hunters, fishermen and collectors who appreciate the combination of the highest sharpness, durability, grip reliability and artistic uniqueness. It is perfect for precise and accurate work in camping and hunting conditions, but it is not recommended for extremely heavy work requiring loads on the fracture. Choose a Moray Eel when not only functionality is important, but also aesthetics, handwork and individual style.
