Exact specifications and materials
Blade: The knife is made of high-alloy tool steel HV5 with a hardness of 65 HRC. This steel is known for its outstanding strength, wear resistance and high cutting ability, making it an excellent choice for knives designed for intensive use. The blade thickness of 2.4 mm provides a good balance between strength and sharpness, and the length of 140 mm and width of 25 mm allow you to perform a wide range of tasks when processing fish and cooking.
Handle: The handle is made of natural birch bark, a unique natural material with a warm, pleasant—to-touch texture and traditionally used in Russian knife crafts. Birch bark dampens recoil well, prevents slipping even in wet hands, and also does not freeze in the cold, which is especially valuable for fishing and hiking. The handle length of 125 mm is optimal for a confident grip with a medium and large hand.
Blade shape: The classic shape of the Normal Blade is versatile and historically used for general purpose knives. This geometry of the blade provides convenience when performing both precise and coarse cuts, and also facilitates tool control when milling fish or slicing food.
The scabbard: The set includes high-quality leather scabbard, providing reliable protection and easy carrying.
Optimal tasks and conditions of use
Cutting fish and cooking in nature is an ideal choice for anglers: the blade made of HV5 handles even large scaly fish species, easily cuts and grinds.
Hiking, hunting, camping — the versatility of the shape allows you to use the knife equally effectively for cooking, small household tasks and precise work with materials (fishing line, cord, wood of medium density).
Field and field conditions — the birch bark handle provides a secure grip even in wet hands, and the strength of the blade guarantees a long service life without the frequent need for sharpening.
Advantages and limitations
Advantages:
High hardness (65 HRC) — keeps sharpening for a long time, even during intensive work.
Resistance to wear and mechanical stress — HV5 is reliable for cutting, planing, and woodwork.
Excellent ergonomics and anti-slip properties of the birch bark handle.
Lightness and comfort when used in the cold — the handle remains warm.
Unique appearance — each knife stands out with an individual birch bark pattern, handmade adds a special character.
A traditional Russian style of execution with a historical legacy of the craft.
Restrictions:
HV5 steel requires more careful care: the material is prone to corrosion with prolonged contact with moisture — after each use, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry and periodically lubricate with oil.
It is not recommended to use for cutting bones, heavy impact work or super—rigid materials - high hardness reduces impact strength.
The birch bark handle is not suitable for long—term storage in humid conditions - the material can absorb moisture and lose its shape in the absence of proper care.
Care recommendations
The blade made of HV5 steel must be thoroughly wiped after use, especially in damp conditions and when cutting fish. To prevent corrosion, it is recommended to regularly treat the blade with a thin layer of neutral oil. The birch bark handle should be periodically dried away from direct heat sources; if necessary, it can be treated with natural wax or oil to preserve elasticity and resistance to moisture. It is recommended to store the knife in dry conditions, in the supplied sheath.
Conclusion and recommendations
This knife will be an ideal companion for anglers, tourists and anyone who appreciates handmade traditions and aesthetics. The "Fisherman" maximizes its advantages when cutting fish, cooking in nature and performing everyday tasks on a hike. If the durability of sharpening, pleasant ergonomics and historical appearance are important to you, this knife is an excellent choice. For heavy power work and operation in extremely wet conditions, it is recommended to consider models made of stainless steels and with synthetic handles.
