Materials and design features
This knife is made of high-quality forged 95X18 steel with a hardness of 58 HRC, which provides an excellent balance between wear resistance, sharpness and corrosion resistance. Such steel is traditionally used for the manufacture of tools and knives, where reliability and durability are important. The blade is 2.4 mm thick and 149 mm long, allowing for versatility — it is suitable for both precision work and confident cuts.
The handle is made of a rare wood species — black hornbeam. This material is known for its exceptional durability, resistance to humidity and comfort even in the most adverse conditions. The black hornbeam provides a natural grip on the hand, minimizing the risk of slipping. The wooden scabbard with leather trim neatly protects the blade during storage and transportation.
Blade shape features and ergonomics
The classic shape of the "scout knife" blade has been shaped for decades to be as versatile as possible: the reinforced tip works well for puncturing, the concave lens provides excellent cutting and planing. This profile is suitable for most camping, hiking, hunting, and household tasks. Due to the optimal length-width ratio, the blade confidently handles both cutting food and more rough work (for example, preparing kindling or slicing solid material).
Advantages and reliability in use
- High hardness and wear resistance of the blade — keeps sharpening even during intensive use.
- Excellent resistance to moisture and corrosion due to stainless steel 95X18 — the knife can be used in a humid environment without fear of rust.
- The handle made of black hornbeam does not deform or crack due to temperature and humidity fluctuations.
- The blade is comfortably held in the hand — the knife does not slip, even if the palm is wet or gloved. Easy maintenance: the knife is easy to sharpen, and no complicated maintenance is required to maintain working condition — it is enough to wipe the blade in a timely manner and periodically lubricate it.
- Aesthetics and status: the combination of traditional silhouette, hand-forged and noble wood makes the knife not only a working tool, but also a collector's item.
Restrictions and recommendations for use
- The knife is poorly suited for heavy power work, such as batoning (splitting firewood) or chopping hard materials: due to the relatively thin blade, chipping is possible.
- Is not intended for use as a mounting tool or for opening canned food: the cutting edge may be damaged.
- It is not recommended to store the knife in a damp sheath for a long time — despite its corrosion resistance, conditions of prolonged high humidity can affect the quality of the handle wood.
Recommendation and care
This knife is ideal for those who appreciate high-quality materials combined with historical aesthetics and practical reliability: tourists, hunters, collectors, as well as connoisseurs of classic field knives. It will also find a rational use for urban EDC and cuisine.
Knife care is simple: after use, rinse, dry, periodically lubricate the blade with oil, the handle can be treated with a special wood cleaner. Do not store for a long time in a damp sheath.
As a result, it is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a reliable, stylish and truly multitasking knife with a rich history and handmade character.
