Technical analysis and features of the knife
Blade steel — S390: S390 powder steel is one of the first in terms of wear resistance, it perfectly retains the sharpness of the cutting edge for a long time, even during intensive use. The hardness of the blade reaches 70 HRC, which guarantees exceptional resistance to bluntness and excellent cutting performance. At the same time, the S390 requires minimal maintenance, but due to the high carbon content and complex alloying components, it is important to wipe the blade in a timely manner after contact with moisture to avoid pitting.
Handle material — Karelian birch, nickel silver: Karelian birch is famous for its unique texture and durability. It is resistant to humidity and temperature fluctuations, which makes the knife comfortable to grip in any conditions. Nickel silver is used as a decorative and practical element: it is not susceptible to corrosion, adds nobility to the appearance and increases the durability of the structure.
Blade shape and parameters: Normal Blade is a classic universal shape that provides confident cutting control and allows you to handle most work tasks, from cooking to precise household and camping operations. The blade length (148 mm) and moderate thickness (2.4 mm) ensure a combination of high penetration and optimal durability. The width (32 mm) further increases reliability in power use.
Grip reliability: The ergonomic handle made of Karelian birch fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and does not slip even in wet hands, providing confidence in all weather and everyday situations. Karelian birch does not absorb moisture, does not deform over time, and nickel-silver elements prevent damage to the end parts during intensive use.
Wear resistance and durability: Due to the use of S390, the knife has the highest wear resistance among common steels. It is optimally suited for work requiring long-term and high-quality cutting without the need for frequent sharpening.
Care and maintenance: Despite its outstanding cutting qualities, the S390 requires careful and professional sharpening with hard abrasives (preferably diamond abrasives) and regular cleaning from dirt. It is recommended to keep the knife dry and wipe it after work to preserve its original appearance.
It is recommended to periodically treat the handle with natural wood oil to maintain its smoothness and protection from moisture.
Scope and recommendations
Optimal tasks and scenarios: The knife is ideal for hunters, fishermen, tourists and connoisseurs of handmade work. Due to the balance between the hardness of the blade, its versatile shape and ergonomics, it does an excellent job of cutting game and fish, preparing food in nature and performing minor household chores. High wear resistance will be appreciated by those who prefer to sharpen the tool less often, but use it to the fullest. Handmade aesthetics, unique birch pattern and nickel silver make the knife a worthy exhibit in the collections.
Restrictions: The blade made of S390 is not recommended for heavy impact loads (force lifting, bone cutting, opening metal or hard plastic covers) due to possible fragility under critical force. The S390 is also not intended for use in aggressive salty environments without careful maintenance.
It is not recommended to use the knife as a pry bar, screwdriver, or for contact with abrasive materials that can damage the cutting edge.
