Technical specifications and materials
This knife is designed for those who appreciate handmade work, practicality and reliability in every movement. The blade is made of forged 95X18 steel, one of the most popular Russian corrosion—resistant steels, known for its high strength and excellent ability to hold the cutting edge. The hardness of 58 HRC is optimal for universal use: the knife remains sharp for a long time and has high resistance to wear while maintaining sufficient ease of sharpening even in the field.
The handle is made of natural birch bark, a material with a rich historical heritage of Russian crafts. Birch bark is not only aesthetically attractive and pleasant to the touch, but also practical: it does not slip even in a wet palm, is resistant to moisture absorption, holds heat well and is environmentally friendly. Such a knife lies confidently in the hand and does not rub the skin during prolonged work, which is especially important when fishing or hiking for a long time.
The leather scabbard emphasizes the handmade status and provides easy transportation and additional protection for the blade.
Features of the blade design and shape
The 150 mm long, 25 mm wide blade with a thickness of 2.4 mm embodies the universal Normal Blade— a classic shape that is perfectly suitable for most household, tourist and fishing tasks. This geometry ensures precision when cutting and reliability when cutting a trophy, easily copes with cleaning fish, preparing food in nature, woodwork and minor manual labor.
Resistance to moisture, corrosion and wear resistance
Forged steel 95X18 has excellent corrosion resistance — the knife is not susceptible to rust even during intensive fishing, in conditions of high humidity or wet weather. The surface of the blade is scratch-resistant and does not require complex maintenance, however, for maximum life, it is recommended to periodically treat it with a thin layer of oil and wipe it dry after contact with water.
The birch bark handle is also resistant to moisture and is not susceptible to rot, while it retains heat and does not become slippery, even if the hand is frozen or wet.
Optimal areas and tasks of application
This knife is especially good:
- For fishing — cleaning and cutting fish, preparing food, working with fishing line and small equipment.
- In tourism and hiking, it is a universal helper for cutting food, woodwork, and minor equipment repairs.
- The farm performs precise and uncomplicated work on wood, leather, rope, packaging, etc.
- For collectors, the natural beauty of the birch bark handle and the traditional design make the knife an excellent gift or an example in handmade collections.
- It is not suitable for heavy strength work on bones or hard wood (batoning, use as a machete).
- To open very hard or frozen products, care will be required — with excessive loads, a blade of medium thickness may suffer. It is not intended for tactical tasks or self-defense.
Care recommendations
To maintain the excellent appearance and functionality of the 95X18 blade, regular sharpening with standard tools for kitchen and travel knives and wiping after use in a damp environment is sufficient. The birch bark handle can be treated from time to time with natural wax or linseed oil — this will preserve its structure and prevent it from drying out.
It is recommended to keep leather scabbards away from sources of open fire and excessive moisture in order to maintain their shape and strength.
Summary and recommendations
A 95X18 forged steel knife with a birch bark handle is an ideal choice for a fisherman, a tourist or a lover of traditional handicrafts. It is optimal for those who appreciate the convenience of a grip in all weather conditions, the durability of steel and ease of maintenance. It is not suitable for heavy power work and professional tasks involving extreme loads on the blade. A great choice for a gift, daily use in nature and in a collection.
