Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel — Steel cable (HRC 62): The special feature of the steel cable blade is the combination of a unique pattern and high hardness. The HRC 62 value provides outstanding wear resistance and the ability to keep sharpness for a long time, which is especially valuable for fans of sharp and hardy cutting tools. The structural strength of such steel makes the knife effective when working with dense materials: wood, leather, tendon. However, under extreme transverse loads, steel cable parts can be slightly more brittle than traditional monolithic steels, so their use in heavy power picking is limited.
The handle material is birch bark: Birch bark fits perfectly in the hand, has a natural roughness, which ensures a reliable grip even in conditions of high humidity or when working with gloves. This material is light, pleasantly warm to the touch and anatomical. It slides minimally in the hand, especially if you work for a long time or in hiking conditions. In addition, birch bark resists rotting well, but requires protection from intense wetting and drying out.
Geometry and dimensions: The blade thickness of 3.2 mm and length of 148 mm make the knife a universal helper in everyday life, tourism and hunting tasks. The 32 mm width gives the blade additional strength and convenience when cutting and cutting a large volume of material. The "Normal Blade" shape provides an optimal balance between a universal cutting edge and tip control — it is convenient to perform precise operations, milling, planing, cutting food and materials.
Genuine leather scabbard: A classic storage and carrying solution — sturdy, durable, and with an authentic aesthetic. The leather protects the blade, does not scratch and increases the safety of sharpness.
Optimal application area
This knife is the best choice for tourism, hunting, fishing, as well as universal household chores in nature and at home. It is appreciated by those who are looking for a balance between durability, durability and comfort during prolonged use. Due to the material of the handle and blade, it is excellent for outdoor work, cutting food and animals, making wooden blanks and small camping tasks. The knife also has a collector's value due to the texture of the blade made of steel cable and natural traditional materials.
Advantages and limitations
- Advantages:
- High wear resistance and long-term retention of sharpness due to the hardness of HRC 62.
- Excellent ergonomics and reliable grip due to the birch bark handle — it does not slip even with a wet hand.
- Aesthetically expressive, unique blade pattern made of steel cable — each knife is individual.
- The moderate thickness of the blade allows you to combine durability and excellent cutting qualities.
- Eco-friendly and natural materials: birch bark and leather.
- Restrictions:
- It is not recommended to use a knife for heavy scrap work, power picking or chopping — there may be a risk of chipping under transverse loads.
- Regular maintenance of the birch bark handle and leather scabbard is required — do not store in humidity, avoid drying out.
- The blade needs periodic drying and wiping — the steel cable has medium corrosion resistance, although it is less susceptible to rust than ordinary carbon steel.
Care recommendations
- Wipe the blade dry after use, especially when operating in a humid environment.
- Periodically treat the handle with natural oils to maintain elasticity and protect it from water.
- Keep the leather sheath in a dry place, avoiding prolonged contact with moisture.
- For sharpening, use medium and fine—grained stones - the steel cable is well-sharpened, but requires care to preserve the pattern and geometry.
Conclusion and recommendations
This knife is designed for handmade connoisseurs who prefer high quality, unique appearance and functionality in real field conditions. It will be an excellent companion for a hunter, tourist, fisherman or collector, for whom long-term sharpness, reliable grip and aesthetics of natural materials are important. It is not intended for heavy power work and conditions of high humidity without proper maintenance. If you are looking for a practical and expressive knife for universal use in nature, this is your choice.
