Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
The blade made of HV5 steel is a modern solution for those who appreciate exceptional wear resistance and aggressive cutting edge. This tool steel is famous for its high hardness and the ability not to lose sharpening for a long time, due to the chromium and tungsten content. Combined with manual hardening, this provides the knife with excellent durability, chip and wear resistance. However, it is worth remembering that HV5 steel is not stainless, which requires special attention to care, especially after contact with moisture or food.
The length of the blade is 140 mm and the width is 35 mm. make the knife a universal helper for a wide range of tasks, from cutting and chopping to woodwork and light bushcraft.
The shape of the blade is clip-point. This solution works well in precision work and when piercing materials, and the pronounced "belly" allows you to confidently cut. This type of blade is especially loved by hunters, tourists and outdoor enthusiasts for its versatility and functionality.
The bubinga handle is a rare, exotic wood that combines spectacular aesthetics and practicality. Bubinga is resistant to mechanical stress, fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, does not slip even in wet conditions and with temperature fluctuations, which is especially important in the field. The warm, natural wood texture makes each knife unique and highlights the handmade individuality.

Advantages and limitations

It is not the best choice for heavy power work (batoning, chopping of hard materials) — the blade profile is designed for precise and accurate operations.
It is not recommended to use it as the main kitchen knife for wet foods due to the tendency of steel to corrode.
Care recommendations
To maintain excellent cutting ability and appearance, we recommend that you wash and wipe the knife thoroughly after each use, do not leave it in a humid environment for a long time, and periodically lubricate the blade with a thin layer of mineral oil. The bubinga handle is durable, but to preserve its rich color, it is advisable to treat the wood with special oil or wax from time to time. Do not soak the knife for a long time and avoid impact loads on the blade.
Final recommendations
This knife is an ideal choice for connoisseurs of practical and aesthetic handmade accessories — hunters, tourists, collectors, fans of unique materials and individual style. The complex of properties of HV5 and bubinga ensures wear resistance, comfort and grip safety even in difficult conditions. But if you need a knife for extremely humid environments or heavy power work, you should consider specialized models made of stainless alloys and with other blade shapes. "Wasp" is a universal tool for diverse tasks in nature, emphasizing the status and taste of the owner.
