Careful analysis of properties and features
- Blade steel – HV5 (65 HRC): HV5 is a high—carbon tool steel characterized by exceptional hardness (65 HRC), increased wear resistance and excellent cutting edge retention. This steel ensures long-term sharpness even during intensive use, which is especially important in the field and when cutting hard materials. However, due to the high hardness, a certain fragility occurs: strong transverse loads and impacts can lead to chipping of the cutting edge. HV5 steel is non—corrosion resistant, which requires regular maintenance, prevention of prolonged contact with moisture and timely removal of traces of moisture after use.
- Blade Shape – Normal Blade: The classic shape with a smooth rise of the butt to the tip provides versatility: the knife perfectly copes with most household, tourist and hunting work. The shape is well suited for precise cutting, slicing and small technical tasks. Due to its pronounced sharp tip, the knife is effective at piercing and working on the material, and the width and length of the blade allow you to confidently work with food, wood and various household tasks.
- Handle material – Bubinga, nickel silver, guard: Bubinga is an exotic African wood known for its incredible strength, durability and abrasion resistance. The material fits comfortably in the hand, does not slip even in wet conditions. Nickel-silver elements add aesthetics, durability and noble shine, and the guard provides additional safety during force cutting, preventing the hand from slipping onto the blade.
- Dimensions and ergonomics: The blade, 135 mm long and 2.4 mm thick, is optimal for most universal tasks: the knife is large enough to handle food, but not bulky for precision work. The 120 mm long handle is made taking into account the anatomy of the palm, which gives comfort even with prolonged use.
- Scabbard – genuine leather: High-quality leather scabbards emphasize the status of the product, ensure a long service life and comfortable, safe carrying of the knife.
Scope of application: ideal tasks and constraints
- Is optimal for: hiking, hiking, hunting, outdoor activities, outdoor work, household tasks, cutting food, wood, cutting small game. Suitable for collectors who appreciate aesthetics and rare materials.
- Grip safety:The bubinga handle with a nickel silver stop holds comfortably even in a wet hand, does not slip, and the guard provides additional protection against slipping.
- Wear resistance and durability: Thanks to the HV5 (65 HRC), the blade is as resistant to abrasion as possible and keeps sharpening for a long time. However, when working with bones or under heavy lateral loads, there is a risk of chipping.
- Corrosion resistance:HV5 requires protection from moisture — after use, the knife must be wiped dry and the blade must be lubricated periodically, especially during prolonged storage or use in a humid environment.
- Ease of maintenance: The high hardness of the blade ensures long-term sharpness, but sharpening will require high-quality abrasives and some experience, which should be taken into account.
- Restrictions: It is not suitable for opening canned food, butoning large dead wood, chopping bones, or active metalworking. In these cases, the cutting edge may be damaged due to the increased hardness of the steel. It is not ideal for use in sea/salt water.
Features that favorably distinguish the knife
- Handmade guarantees the uniqueness of each product, attention to detail and the highest quality of processing.
- The use of noble bubinga and nickel silver gives the knife a premium appearance and special durability.
- Aesthetics and practicality are combined with centuries—old traditions: the shape of the infantry knife has a historical legacy - convenience for universal use has been confirmed by time.
Care recommendations
- Wipe the blade dry after each use and lubricate it periodically with neutral oil to avoid corrosion.
- It is advisable to treat a wooden handle from time to time with a special wax / oil for wood.
- Sharpening should be done only with suitable abrasives (preferably diamond or carbide stones), avoiding strong pressure and the wrong angle.
Conclusion and brief recommendation
This knife is an ideal choice for handmade connoisseurs, hunters, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate the endurance, aesthetics and reliability of tools. It is especially recommended for those who are looking for a versatile, durable knife with a premium handle for field and household tasks. At the same time, if you need a knife for heavy work such as chopping bones or use in a humid marine environment, other models should be considered.
