Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel — S390: The blade is made of premium S390 high-speed powder steel with exceptional hardness of 70 HRC. This level of hardness ensures outstanding wear resistance: the blade retains its sharpness even during intensive use, does not require frequent sharpening, and perfectly handles cutting of hard and fibrous materials. This steel is highly resistant to corrosion, making the knife suitable for use in wet conditions without losing its properties upon contact with water and organic liquids.
Handle material — stabilized Karelian birch, nickel silver: The handle is made of stabilized Karelian birch with the use of nickel silver inserts. Stabilized wood is a specially treated material that is not susceptible to warping, swelling and cracking, even with temperature and humidity fluctuations. Karelian birch is famous for its unique pattern and velvety tactility, and stabilization preserves these aesthetic qualities for many years to come. Nickel silver adds nobility to the structure, increases strength and durability. Thanks to the carefully designed ergonomics, the handle is firmly fixed in the hand, does not slip when working in wet or cold conditions, which is especially valuable for both tourism and hunting.
Blade shape and geometry: The 2.4mm thick and 142 mm long blade provides the perfect balance between cutting accuracy and durability. This shape is suitable for universal tasks, from cutting and slicing food to complex field work that requires careful and even movements. The blade width (30 mm) allows you to control the cut along the entire length of the blade, which is valuable when preparing food and working with wood.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion, care features: S390 steel and stabilized Karelian birch provide excellent protection against moisture and corrosion. It is recommended to wipe the blade regularly after use and avoid prolonged contact with aggressive chemical media. Sharpening is extremely rarely required, and care for the handle is minimal — stabilized wood is not afraid of water and dirt, and for extra shine, you can sometimes treat the surface with a special wood oil.
Wear resistance and durability: The combination of S390 steel and high-quality machining guarantees a long service life even under heavy use. The blade is not prone to chipping and deformation, and the handle can withstand significant loads without damage.
Optimal application area
This knife is optimal for:
- hunting (butchering, primary processing of game),
- tourism and bushcraft (cooking, woodwork, minor equipment repairs),
- fishing,
- collectibles (thanks to handmade work and an outstanding combination of materials).
Limitations and Features
- Despite its high hardness, S390 steel is not recommended for cutting bones, metal objects and for use as a tire iron, as this may damage the thin edge.
- If you often work with very viscous or hard materials that require cutting movements, it is better to choose a knife with thicker and less hard steel.
- Due to the high hardness, sharpening requires special diamond or ceramic tools.
