Detailed analysis of properties and features
The blade steel is Elmax, hardness 63 HRC. Elmax is a unique modern Swedish–made powder steel that is valued for its outstanding balance of strength, hardness and corrosion resistance. The hardness of 63 HRC ensures long-term preservation of the sharpness of the cutting edge even during active use, and the high quality of the steel minimizes the risk of discoloration and provides impressive wear resistance. At the same time, Elmax is not susceptible to corrosion due to its chromium content and special structure, which makes this knife an excellent choice for harsh operating conditions, including in contact with moisture and aggressive environments.
The shape of the blade is Normal Blade. The universal shape of the blade is 148 mm long and 32 mm wide with a classic cutting edge line. This design is optimally balanced for everyday and tourist tasks: the knife easily pierces, confidently cuts and handles both food and thin branches, leather, and fabrics. The blade thickness of 2.4 mm gives the necessary strength without excessive massiveness, while maintaining a balance of maneuverability and reliability. The classic guard provides additional hand protection when working.
The material and ergonomics of the handle are acrylic + Karelian birch. The combination of stabilized Karelian birch and acrylic guarantees not only aesthetic uniqueness (each pattern is unique), but also practicality: the handle is resistant to moisture, does not absorb odors and does not crumble. The acrylic coating enhances grip and prevents slipping even in wet hands, and the anatomical shape ensures secure grip both with a glove and bare hand. The handle length of 130 mm allows you to work comfortably even with prolonged use.
The sheath is leather. The classic leather scabbard protects the blade and provides easy transportation, emphasizing the handmade status.

Special care recommendations

- The handle is resistant to moisture penetration, but to preserve its pristine appearance, it is recommended to avoid prolonged contact with aggressive chemicals.
- It is advisable to treat leather scabbards regularly with skin creams or balms to preserve their softness and durability.
