Technical analysis: steel, handle, blade shape
Blade steel: S390
The blade is made of S390 high-speed tool steel with a record hardness of 70 HRC. This steel is characterized by extremely high wear resistance and hardness, maintaining edge sharpness even during intensive use. The S390 is resistant to aggressive environments and corrosion due to its high chromium content, but requires careful maintenance due to its relative sensitivity to stains from prolonged contact with moisture.
The blade thickness of 2.4 mm ensures an optimal balance: the blade remains strong without becoming excessively heavy, and easily cuts through both soft and dense materials. The blade length of 135 mm is a universal indicator for field, tourist and household tasks.
Handle material: stabilized Karelian birch, nickel silver
The handle is made of stabilized Karelian birch, treated for maximum moisture resistance and durability: the material is not afraid of temperature fluctuations, does not swell, does not crack. Nickel-silver inserts add nobility to the appearance and enhance the design. This handle holds particularly well in both dry and wet hands, which is critically important when working outdoors for a long time.
Blade Shape: Normal Blade
The classic "Normal Blade" uniform is versatile and historically in demand in the army and everyday life. The straight line of the butt and the not too pronounced rise of the cutting edge make the knife convenient for most cutting and piercing tasks, as well as suitable for fine work.
