Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel — HV5 (65 HRC):
The blade is made of HV5 tool steel with an extremely high hardness of 65 HRC, which immediately distinguishes the knife from most mass-produced and even many handmade products. This hardness provides outstanding wear resistance — the knife retains its sharpness for a long time even during intensive use. The HV5 is highly resistant to abrasive wear and holds the cutting edge perfectly, which is especially valuable when performing heavy work with hard materials.
However, this steel is sensitive to moisture and corrosion, and requires regular maintenance: after use, it is recommended to thoroughly wipe the blade dry and store it in a dry place. For additional protection, we recommend periodically oiling the blade.
Material of the Bubbling handle:
The exotic bubinga wood is not only attractive due to its natural noble red hue and expressive texture, but also extremely durable, resistant to deformation and wear. This handle fits in your hand with special comfort, does not slip even in conditions of high humidity due to the natural microtexture of wood, creating a feeling of premium and individuality.
However, wood requires careful care: it is advisable to avoid prolonged contact with water, periodically treat with special oil to preserve color saturation and prevent drying out.
Dimensions and ergonomics:
The 130 mm long and 30 mm wide blade with a 2.4mm thick butt provides the perfect balance between precision and durability. Thanks to the 125 mm long handle, the knife fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, allowing you to confidently control cutting movements both during fine work and during force cutting.
The scabbard:
The leather sheath complements the aesthetic component of the knife, provides reliable protection of the blade during transportation and a comfortable fit on the belt.
Scope of application and optimal tasks
- Hunting, hiking, bushcraft:Due to its high wear resistance and cutting resistance, the knife is ideal for trophy cutting, wood processing, camp work, and outdoor cooking.
- Fishing:It does an excellent job of cleaning and butchering fish, but requires regular maintenance to avoid corrosion from moisture.
- Daily use, EDC:The universal shape and length of the blade make it possible to solve a wide variety of everyday tasks.
- Collecting and gift:The exquisite combination of tool steel and exotic wood makes the knife a valuable accessory and a point of pride in any collection.
Advantages and limitations

- It is not recommended to use in the marine environment and in prolonged contact with water without proper care.
- Sharpening requires special tools and skills — ordinary "household" sharpeners may not be able to handle such hard steel.
Care and maintenance
- Wipe the blade dry immediately after use, avoid storing it in humid conditions.
- Periodically apply a thin layer of oil to protect against corrosion.
- It is recommended to treat the bubinga handle with oil for exotic woods — this will preserve the color depth and resistance to shrinkage / cracking.
- For sharpening, use high—quality diamond or hard abrasive stones, optimally with an angle of 20-25 degrees.
