Detailed analysis of the characteristics and features of the knife
Blade made of HV5 steel (hardness 65 HRC):
HV5 is a high—carbon tool steel with excellent wear resistance and aggressive cutting. The hardness of 65 HRC ensures long-term sharpness, which makes the knife ideal for frequent and intensive use. However, such a high hardness requires careful attention: with excessive lateral loads or impacts on hard surfaces, chipping on the cutting edge is possible. The level of corrosion resistance of HV5 steel is average — the knife is contraindicated in contact with a humid environment and long-term storage without maintenance.
Blade Shape — Normal Blade:
The classic shape of the blade with a smooth butt line and a pronounced tip makes the knife versatile for most household, tourist and cutting tasks. The blade is 135 mm long and 2.4 mm thick, and is optimally suited for precision work, skinning, cutting food, and making wood chips. The blade width of 26 mm maintains a balance between maneuverability and durability.
Handle made of stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam, nickel silver:
Karelian birch, which has been stabilized, is resistant to moisture, deformation and rotting. Black hornbeam adds a noble austerity and tactile "warmth". The nickel silver guard protects the hand and decorates the product. The ergonomics of the handle, 120 mm long, ensures a secure grip both with gloves and bare hands, even in wet conditions. The stabilized wood is pleasant to the touch, non-slip, and its purple shades add personality.
Durability and care:
Thanks to the combination of HV5 steel and a properly machined handle, the knife retains its appearance and working qualities for many years, provided timely care. It is recommended to wipe and dry the blade after each use, and lubricate it regularly with mineral oil. Sharpening requires the use of diamond or ceramic abrasives, but a long interval between sharpening is a significant advantage.
Leather sheath:
The durable genuine leather scabbard provides an excellent level of safety and transportation.
Optimal scope and limitations
Ideal for: tourism, hunting, fishing, camping, firewood and food preparation, tactical and household tasks, collection use.
Restrictions: It is not recommended for heavy impact work on hard materials (bones, metal, stone), as well as for long-term use in a humid environment without maintenance. It is not suitable for opening canned food, using it as a pry bar or an axe — high-hardness steel is easy to damage if used improperly.
Unique advantages and features
The combination of expensive natural materials and small-scale handmade: each knife is unique and aesthetically perfect, and the stabilized Karelian birch is distinguished by its rare beauty and durability.
High wear resistance of the blade: long-term retention of sharpening, even with intensive use.
Ergonomics and safety: the nickel silver guard and the well-thought-out handle guarantee a confident, comfortable and safe hold of the knife in all weather conditions.
The harmony between aesthetics and practicality — the knife is suitable for both collectors and those who are looking for a reliable working tool in the field.
Care recommendations
The blade made of HV5 requires regular wiping and drying after each use.
Do not leave the knife in a wet sheath or store it without lubrication.
For sharpening, use only high-quality abrasives (diamond, ceramic).
The handle made of stabilized wood is resistant to moisture, but to preserve its color and shine, it is recommended to periodically treat it with specialized wood oils.
Final recommendation
This knife is an excellent choice for experienced hunters, tourists, fans of original products and collectors who appreciate aesthetic uniqueness and outstanding sharpness. It is important to remember that the knife is designed for careful, thoughtful tasks in the field and in everyday conditions, and not for rough, impact applications.
