Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel — HV5 (HRC 65):
The blade is made of high-carbon tool steel HV5 with an outstanding hardness of 65 HRC, which provides exceptional wear resistance and long-term preservation of the cutting edge. Due to these properties, the knife is excellent for intensive tasks where reliable cutting and resistance to blunting are required. HV5 is characterized by high strength and resistance to abrasive wear, but it requires careful care: steel is not stainless and may corrode if basic care rules are not followed. After use, it is important to clean and wipe the blade dry, and sometimes treat it with oil.
Handle materials — stabilized Karelian birch and nickel silver:
The handle made of stabilized Karelian birch (shades of amber+ purple) not only fascinates with its luxurious texture, but is also resistant to moisture, temperature fluctuations and mechanical influences. The stabilization process impregnates the wood with special polymers, preventing cracking and swelling, which makes the handle suitable for a wide variety of operating conditions. The nickel silver inserts add sophistication and extra wear resistance to the handles.
Ergonomics and retention:
The 120 mm long handle fits optimally in the palm of your hand, providing a comfortable and secure grip even during prolonged work or in wet conditions. The structured surface of the stabilized birch prevents slipping, and the balance of the knife maintains a stable position in the hand.
Geometry and shape of the blade:
The shape of the Normal Blade is universal, with a slight bend to the tip, which guarantees an effective straight cut, precise punctures and control over the movement of the blade. The blade is 135 mm long and 2.4 mm thick, allowing you to perform both small and fairly coarse tasks. The width of 26 mm facilitates control during cutting operations.
The case:
The leather scabbard provides reliable protection for the blade during storage and transportation, emphasizing the premium quality of the product.
Main application areas
- Hunting and fishing: The knife is optimal for cutting game, fish, performing field work (planing, chopping, skinning).
- Hiking and hiking:Thanks to its durable steel and comfortable handle, it is great for camping, outdoor cooking, and woodwork (tent poles, kindling, and removing minor obstacles).
- Collectibles and gifts: The aesthetics of the stabilized Karelian birch and the author's hand-made assembly make the knife valuable to collectors and an excellent gift.
Advantages and unique features
- Impressive blade hardness (HRC 65): Long retention of sharpness, minimum sharpening frequency.
- Exclusive materials of the handle: A combination of stabilized Karelian birch and nickel silver for a luxurious and durable finish.
- Handmade: Each knife is unique, the continuity of traditions and the highest quality.
- Reliable versatility:The classic shape of the blade perfectly copes with most tasks, from kitchen to field.
- Safety and security: Leather sheath for comfortable and safe carrying.
Limitations
- Corrosion sensitivity:HV5 requires regular treatment and is unacceptable for prolonged contact with moisture or aggressive environments without maintenance.
- Not designed for heavy impact loads:The hardness of the steel is high, but this reduces the resistance to chipping under excessive lateral load or bone work.
- Low suitability for power batoning and cutting of large-diameter wood:It is better to avoid such tasks in order to preserve the cutting edge and the integrity of the blade.
Recommendations and conclusion
This knife is an ideal choice for handmade connoisseurs and aesthetes, hunters, tourists, fishermen and collectors who prefer premium, reliable and aesthetically expressive products. It reveals itself to the maximum in precise, accurate work in nature and fine cutting. It is not suitable for those who are looking for a tool for extreme shock loads, rough cutting or operation in aggressively humid environments without the possibility of maintenance.
Care recommendations: After use, wipe the blade dry, lubricate it regularly with protective oil, and avoid prolonged storage in dampness. The handle does not require special care — the stabilized birch is resistant to most external influences.
The choice of this knife is especially justified for lovers of high-quality materials who appreciate durability, exclusivity and thoughtful ergonomics.
