Sandvik blade steel, belonging to the premium segment of knife steels, is known for its balance between hardness (HRC 60), corrosion resistance and excellent wear resistance. Due to its high purity and controlled alloying, the blade has the ability to keep sharpening for a long time, even with intensive use. This steel is moisture-resistant with proper care and is perfect for outdoor work, hunting or hiking.Detailed analysis of materials and design features
Blade shape — Normal Blade: classic universal geometry that provides a good balance between penetration and cutting edge control. This blade is convenient for working on products, wood, fabrics, as well as for precise cuts and planing.
The blade thickness of 2.4 mm and length of 135 mm are optimal for a universal knife: it is durable enough for medium—heavy work - cutting small game, working with small wood, preparing food.
The handle made of stabilized ash with brown acrylic and blue inserts is not only an aesthetic and handmade standard, but also a practical solution. Stabilized ash is less susceptible to cracking and moisture, acrylic adds additional protection and expressive appearance. The handle, 120 mm long, fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, and the presence of a guard significantly increases safety at work.
The leather scabbard is a classic that emphasizes the handmade status, protecting the blade during transportation and storage.
Optimal tasks and application conditions
- Ideal for tourism, hunting, fishing and outdoor activities: the blade will perfectly cope with cutting food, small woodwork, camp preparation, cleaning fish and butchering small animals.
- The handle provides a secure grip even with wet hands due to the embossed surface and the combination of wood and acrylic.
- High corrosion resistance allows the knife to be used in conditions of high humidity — near reservoirs, during rain.
- Sandvik's wear resistance and hardness of 60 HRC ensure long-lasting cutting edge sharpness.
- Easy to maintain: Sandvik grinds well with standard abrasives, and stabilized ash does not require complex maintenance.
Advantages and unique features
- The classic blade shape and versatile dimensions are an excellent choice for a wide range of tasks.
- Stabilized ash combined with acrylic is not only beautiful, but also practical: the handle is resistant to moisture and deformation, and the individual pattern emphasizes the uniqueness of each piece.
- The high hardness of the blade ensures long-lasting sharpness, and Sandvik's proprietary machining guarantees quality.
- The handmade leather sheath reliably protects the knife and emphasizes its status.
- The guard makes the work safer by preventing the hand from slipping onto the blade.
Limitations and not recommended applications
- The knife is not designed for strength work on bones, rough butoning of thick logs or cracking of hard materials — for these tasks a more massive and specialized tool is required.
- It is not recommended for daily heavy construction work, where tactical or utility knives with a more massive blade are better suited.
- Despite its moisture resistance, it is recommended to rinse and wipe the blade and handle dry after use in an aggressive environment to maintain its perfect appearance.
Specific care recommendations
- After intensive use, wipe the blade with a dry cloth. If necessary, wash under running water, avoiding prolonged contact with salts and acids.
- The handle does not require oil impregnation due to stabilization, but it is not recommended to store the knife in a wet sheath for a long time.
- Use standard stones or diamond abrasives for sharpening. The Sandvik sharpens easily and allows for the restoration of the cutting edge even in field conditions.
- Periodically treat the leather sheath with a special skin cream to preserve its appearance and durability.
Final recommendations
It is an ideal choice for those who appreciate versatility, reliability, style and handwork. The knife is ideal for travelers, hunters and outdoor enthusiasts who are looking for a working tool with a striking individual design and excellent ergonomics. If your tasks are related to heavy power work on hard materials, pay attention to models with a more massive blade. The Sandvik infantryman with a handle made of stabilized ash and acrylic is a harmony of tradition and modern technology for everyday and hiking adventures.
