Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: HW5
The blade is made of tool steel HV5, characterized by high hardness (65 HRC) and excellent wear resistance. Due to these indicators, the knife retains its sharpness for a long time, even when working regularly with hard materials. The HV5 is known for its pronounced abrasion resistance, which makes it ideal for applications where a long cutting edge life is required. However, like any tool steel with a high carbon content, CB5 is less resistant to moisture and is susceptible to corrosion, especially when in contact with food and water. The knife requires regular maintenance — wiping and drying after use, especially in conditions of high humidity.
Handle material: stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam
The handle combines stabilized Karelian birch (painted in an exquisite blue color) and black hornbeam. Stabilized wood practically does not absorb moisture, is resistant to cracking and deformation, and is pleasant to the touch. Black hornbeam is traditionally valued for its density, durability and aristocratic appearance. In combination, these materials create not only a unique aesthetic, but also high practicality — the handle is securely held in the palm of your hand even when working in wet weather or with wet hands.
Blade shape: clip-point
The classic clip-point shape with a pronounced lowering of the butt line and a pointed tip provides excellent handling for precise work — piercing, milling, working on small details. Due to the length of the blade (142 mm) and its width (36 mm), the knife is suitable for working with food, as well as for universal household and tourist tasks.
Retention and ergonomics
The ergonomic handle, 130 mm long, fits well in a hand of different sizes and provides a secure grip without slipping. The wood does not cool in the cold, and the stabilization protects against moisture and temperature fluctuations.
Durability and ease of care
HV5 steel requires careful treatment and regular maintenance (cleaning, drying, oil treatment after contact with moisture). Sharpening HV5 is slightly more difficult than softer steels, but the retention of the cutting edge is very high — the need for sharpening rarely occurs.
Scabbard: leather
High-quality leather scabbard emphasizes the status and convenience of storage, providing additional protection of the blade from external influences.
Optimal tasks and applications
The knife is ideal for hiking, hunting, fishing and outdoor household use. The clip-point shape and balanced dimensions make it a versatile helper in camp life — for cutting food, woodwork, precise and delicate operations. The stabilized handle and high—quality materials make the knife an excellent gift and a collection item - aesthetics are combined with practicality. It also perfectly performs the functions of a universal EDC knife.
Restrictions: It is not recommended for long-term work in aggressively humid conditions (for example, constant work in the kitchen or in fishing with regular immersion in water), since HV5 steel requires maintenance and does not have full corrosion resistance. It is not intended for heavy work on bones or metal.
Unique features and differences
- A rare combination of high hardness HV5 steel and hand-crafted handles made of stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam.
- Each handle has a unique pattern and a noble blue sheen, which makes the knife truly exclusive.
- The clip-point blade shape is the choice of experts for precise and versatile tasks.
- Manual assembly and careful fitting of all parts guarantee a long service life and aesthetic enjoyment of ownership.
Care recommendations
- After use, be sure to wipe the blade dry and, if necessary, apply oil to prevent corrosion.
- Do not leave the knife in a humid environment and do not use it for prolonged work in water.
- The handle does not require special care — stabilized wood is stable and durable, but it is recommended to avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals.
- For sharpening, use abrasives suitable for high—carbon tool steels - the sharpening angle is 25-30°, overheating is not allowed.
Conclusion and recommendations
This knife is the best choice for connoisseurs of handmade, practical and effective tool for tourism, hunting, collecting and universal use in nature. It is optimal for those who appreciate high cutting ability, aesthetics and are not afraid of regular maintenance of steel. It is not recommended for those who are looking for a knife for intensive cooking or heavy work on hard materials. Emphasize your individuality and love for quality — this knife will become your calling card in every campaign!
