Blade steel: S390 Bohler (HRC 70)
Handle materials: Karelian birch, acrylic, black hornbeam
Design and ergonomics
Scabbard: leatherDetailed analysis of characteristics and properties
The blade is made of premium S390 Bohler tool steel, recognized as a leader in the world of high-end high-speed steels. A hardness of 70 HRC guarantees exceptional wear resistance, phenomenal sharpening retention and excellent cutting ability. Due to the cobalt and tungsten content, steel provides long-lasting sharpness and reliably resists abrasion even when working with abrasive materials. However, such high hardness requires accuracy under heavy lateral loads – the blade is primarily focused on cutting, not chopping or heavy scrap.
The S390 is characterized by moderately high corrosion resistance – it tolerates wet conditions well, but is not completely stainless. For long service life, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry after use and avoid prolonged contact with aggressive media.
The handle is made in a unique ensemble of North Karelian birch (known for its amazing texture and durability), contrasting acrylic and noble black hornbeam. This combination not only makes the knife stand out aesthetically, but also provides a reliable, tenacious grip even in a wet hand. The special treatment of wood and acrylic elements makes the handle resistant to moisture, it is not afraid of rain, accidental drops and general contact with water, but it is not designed for full immersion.
The 2.4 mm blade thickness and clip-point shape provide an excellent balance between precision and versatility: the tip is sharp for delicate work, and the main cutting part is for confident and deep cutting. The 140 mm long blade is versatile: for urban wear, for tourist tasks, and for various outdoor activities.
The handle length (125 mm) allows you to confidently hold the knife in a glove and bare hand, does not rub, does not slip, fits well in the palm of your hand.
The product is equipped with a sturdy leather sheath that securely locks the knife and perfectly complements its appearance, emphasizing the handmade status and care for details.
Optimal tasks and applications
Advantages and limitations
Advantages:
- It keeps sharpening for a very long time and cuts without eyeliner.
- Exquisite handle materials: not only beautiful, but also comfortable to hold in your hand, the material does not absorb moisture.
- Handmade — individuality and impeccable finish quality. Good ergonomics, confident grip in different weather conditions and with different tasks.
- The optimal balance of thickness and length is universal in application.
- It is not recommended for heavy power work (chopping, prying, use as scrap) — high-hardness steel can be brittle.
- It requires careful handling of the blade under side loads.
- Basic care is required for the steel part: wipe after work, avoid prolonged contact with seawater or aggressive media.
- It is not intended for contact with very hard materials (metal, bones of large animals) — the cutting edge may chip.
Care and specific recommendations
- Wipe the blade regularly after use, especially after contact with moisture or food.
- Periodically apply a light coat of oil to the blade for additional corrosion protection.
- The handle does not require special care: acrylic and Karelian birch are treated to protect against moisture, but avoid prolonged soaking.
- For sharpening, use high—quality abrasives, preferably diamonds; S390 is a very hard steel, it takes a long time to sharpen, but requires precision and high—end tools.
A brief recommendation
This knife is designed for connoisseurs of reliability and beauty, who are looking for a functional tool for tourism, hunting or daily tasks requiring high sharpness and prolonged cutting. It is ideal as an exclusive gift and for a collection. It is not intended for cutting, working with hard materials and extreme loads on the blade. A true choice for those who appreciate handmade work, materials with a history and the unsurpassed cutting ability of S390 steel.
