Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel – HV5:
HV5 is a high–carbon tool steel with outstanding hardness at 65 HRC. This steel provides excellent wear resistance and long-term retention of the cutting edge, which is especially important for knives that are used in difficult conditions. Due to its high carbon and chromium content, HV5 has a very high abrasion resistance and demonstrates strong cutting ability even with prolonged use. However, like all high-carbon steels, HV5 requires careful maintenance, as corrosion is possible with prolonged contact with moisture. To minimize this risk, it is recommended to regularly clean and wipe the blade dry, as well as use oil for preservation.
Material of the Bubbling handle:
Bubinga wood is known for its special density, resistance to moisture and durability. The pleasant texture and noble appearance make the knife not only practical, but also aesthetically attractive. Bubinga holds its shape well, does not crack or warp when humidity changes, which is critically important for outdoor use. The bubing handle provides a secure grip even in a wet hand, minimizing the risk of slipping.
Blade Shape — Normal Blade:
The classic shape of the blade with a smooth rise of the butt from the tip to the handle ("Normal Blade") makes the knife as versatile as possible in everyday, tourist and hunting applications. This shape provides excellent cutting handling, is convenient for planing, cutting products and skinning.
Construction:
The blade thickness of 2.4 mm and length of 142 mm give an optimal balance between durability and cutting accuracy. This allows you to work confidently both with wood (planing, kindling preparation) and with products. The handle length of 130 mm is suitable for medium and large hand sizes, providing comfort even during prolonged work.
Protection and storage:
The set includes a genuine leather scabbard, a practical and traditional solution for safe carrying and storage, which emphasizes the status of the handmade product.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
- It is optimal for tourists, hunters and outdoor enthusiasts — whittling sticks, cutting game or fish, woodwork, cooking in nature.
- It is suitable for household, kitchen and collection applications due to its versatile geometry, beautiful materials and expressive design.
- The bubing handle holds perfectly in your hand even in difficult weather conditions: rain, snow, heat.
- The blade made of HV5 guarantees long-term operation without sawing, even with intensive use.
- Restrictions: the knife is not intended for heavy and heavy work (batoning, opening metal cans, chopping "through force"), as well as for prolonged contact with aggressive media (acids, salt water). In conditions of high humidity, it requires regular wiping and lubrication to prevent corrosion.
- It is not recommended for areas where absolute corrosion resistance is critical (for example, marine fishing or constant work in the kitchen with acidic and salty environments).
Unique features
- Handmade: Each piece is unique, with an individual bubinga wood texture.
- Premium class aesthetics: a combination of natural exotic wood and classic blade shape.
- High functionality in a compact form factor.
- The traditional leather for the scabbard highlights the historical heritage of hunting knives and creates an authentic look.
Care recommendations
- Always clean and wipe the blade dry after use, especially after contact with moisture or food.
- To prevent corrosion, periodically use mineral or special oil to treat the blade.
- It is recommended to treat the handle from time to time with wax or specialized wood oil — this will preserve its appearance and protective properties.
- Store the knife in a dry place using the supplied leather sheath.
Conclusion and recommendations
The knife, made of HV5 steel and decorated with a bubinga handle, is the choice for discerning travelers, hunters, gourmets and collectors who appreciate the balance between practicality, aesthetics and durability. It is ideal for outdoor tourism, hunting, camping and as a premium gift. Special attention to the care of the blade guarantees a long service life of the tool. It is not recommended for areas where operation without regular maintenance and contact with aggressive environments are required.
