The exact characteristics and features of the knife
The Blade: Forged steel 95X18 (hardness 58 HRC) is one of the leaders among Russian corrosion—resistant steels for knives. This blade demonstrates high strength, decent wear resistance and good resistance to moisture. The blade thickness of 2.4 mm provides a balance of strength and lightness, and the length of 135 mm is universal: the knife is not bulky, but sufficient for most applications.
Blade shape: Normal Blade is a classic profile suitable for most universal jobs: cutting, planing, trimming. The geometry allows you to work confidently both on products and on wood, leather, fabrics and other materials.
The handle: Natural birch bark combined with nickel silver elements. Birch bark pleasantly "clings" to the hand, does not slip even with wet palms, does not feel cold in winter. The material perfectly dampens the impact during planing and cutting, and nickel silver provides a beautiful finish and additional elements of wear resistance. The 120mm length fits most palms, and the handle is comfortable for long-term use.
The scabbard: Leather — securely locks the knife, protecting the blade from moisture and mechanical damage when worn.
Scope of application: optimal tasks and constraints
What the knife is perfect for:
- Hiking, hiking, hunting, fishing — the versatile geometry and resistance to moisture make the knife an excellent companion in the wild.
- Household and household chores: rope cutting, food preparation, minor repairs, bark and wood work.
- Product handling — not too thick, the neat blade allows clean cutting and shredding.
- Collectible purposes — a classic appearance with handmade elements of nickel silver and natural birch bark emphasize the status and uniqueness.
-
It is not designed for heavy batoning of large logs or power impacts — the thickness and construction are not designed for maximum loads.
- It is somewhat inferior to specialized kitchen knives in terms of speed and accuracy of cutting large amounts of food.
- For work with aggressive media (salt water, acids), regular maintenance is required — despite the corrosion resistance of 95X18 steel, it is recommended to wipe and dry the knife after work to preserve its flawless appearance and cutting properties.
Advantages of materials and construction
- Steel 95X18: High hardness (58 HRC), rust-resistant, sharpens well and is suitable for light field edging.
- The handle is made of birch bark and nickel silver: It does not slip, "breathes", is comfortable in the hand even during prolonged work, and is resistant to temperature and humidity fluctuations.
- Ease of sharpening: Steel allows you to quickly and easily regain sharpness, even in field conditions.
- Handmade and unique: Each knife is individual — birch bark creates a unique pattern, nickel silver adds nobility, every detail is carefully crafted by a craftsman.
Care and maintenance
- Do not leave the knife in a wet sheath for a long time — dry the blade after use.
- Periodically wipe the blade with neutral oil for additional corrosion protection.
- It is recommended to periodically treat the birch bark handle with natural oil (for example, linseed oil) — this will preserve its aesthetics and durability.
- For sharpening, use water stones or fine—grained ceramics - steel is perfectly sharpened, and the cutting edge lasts a long time.
