Analysis of the characteristics and features of the knife
Blade steel — S390 (hardness HRC 70): S390 steel is a premium grade high—speed powder tool steel. Its key feature is its outstanding hardness of up to 70 HRC, which is extremely rare even for top—end handmade knives. This hardness provides phenomenal wear resistance and long-term retention of the cutting edge. The S390 contains an increased amount of tungsten and vanadium, which guarantees excellent wear resistance when working with hard materials and minimal wear on the cutting edge, even under heavy use.
It should be borne in mind that extreme hardness can slightly reduce the impact strength of steel. This means that the knife is not intended for heavy work with a high lateral load (batoning, cutting large branches).
Handle material — Ironwood and walrus tusk: This is not only the highest aesthetics, but also practicality. Ironwood is one of the most dense and moisture—resistant wood species, does not deform and does not slip even when wet. Walrus tusk is an elite material with a unique "warm" tactile feel and excellent grip on the hand. Together, these materials form a luxurious, durable handle that is distinguished by both its appearance and reliable grip in a wide variety of weather conditions.
Clip-point blade shape: Classic geometry with a thin point, ideal for precise, controlled work, cutting, planing, skinning, butchering small and medium game. Perfectly copes with piercing due to the lowered butt line, has a good penetrating effect.
Dimensions:The 142 mm long and 36 mm wide blade is a versatile size for both hiking and hunting tasks. The 2.4mm thickness provides a balance between durability and excellent cutting ability, making fine work easier.
Scabbard — Leather: Reliable leather scabbard protects the knife from external influences and allows you to comfortably carry it on your belt.
Areas of application, advantages and limitations
- Optimal tasks:Ideal for hunting (butchering, skinning, trophy handling), hiking, fishing, bushcraft, and any tasks that require long-term sharpness and precise cutting control. Thanks to its noble materials and handwork, it is perfect for collecting and gifting.
- Grip and hold:The handle made of ironwood and walrus tusk provides a tenacious grip in dry and wet conditions, does not slip, and fits comfortably in the hand during prolonged use.
- Resistance to moisture and corrosion:S390 is a steel with very high corrosion resistance, although it requires minimal maintenance during prolonged exposure to aggressive environments (salt water, etc.). The ironwood perfectly withstands moisture, and the walrus tusk does not crack or crack.
- Wear resistance and durability:Thanks to the S390, the knife is almost non-blunt even under heavy loads, ideal for repetitive cuts on hard materials, bones, and skin.
- Ease of maintenance: Sharpening the S390 requires the use of high-quality diamond or ceramic sharpeners. The sharp angle of the cutting edge is held for a long time, which reduces the frequency of maintenance, but sharpening requires some experience or contacting a master.
- Limitations:The extreme hardness of the blade reduces the resistance to fractures and chipping under lateral loads. The knife is not intended for heavy chopping, opening metal cans, or use as a crowbar. It is not recommended for work involving heavy blows to the butt.
Uniqueness and aesthetics
Each knife is the result of a master's painstaking handiwork. The ironwood and walrus tusk give the handle a unique, collectible character and durability. The combination of modern powder metallurgy technologies and classic natural materials forms an item worthy of the most discerning connoisseurs — from experienced hunters to collectors.
