Thorough analysis of the characteristics and features of the knife
Blade steel: forged 95X18 (hardness 58 HRC)
The blade is based on the popular 95X18 tool steel, which is characterized by high strength, good corrosion resistance and excellent wear resistance. Forging additionally increases the density of the structure and durability, allowing you to confidently use the knife for complex work without the risk of breakage or deformation of the cutting edge. The hardness of 58 HRC is the optimal balance between ease of sharpening and the ability to keep sharpening for a long time, even during intensive use. 95X18 steel is not afraid of moisture, does not require complex maintenance and is resistant to rust, which is especially important when used in hunting, fishing or tourism.
Handle: birch bark
The handle made of natural birch bark is not only a tribute to Russian traditions, but also a practical solution: the material is pleasant to the touch, does not slip even in a wet hand, warms up quickly and does not "freeze" in the cold. The natural porosity ensures reliable retention in various conditions, contributing to precision operation and reducing fatigue during prolonged use. Birch bark is not very susceptible to moisture, it is easy to clean and retains an attractive appearance for many years, and the genuine leather sheath protects the product when carrying.
Blade Shape: Spear Point
The classic shape of the Spear Point is a universal solution for most everyday and tourist tasks. This geometry ensures excellent penetration and controllability of the blade during piercing and precise cutting movements, and the moderately wide blade (30 mm) makes it easy to perform delicate work, cutting fish and game, preparing food or minor equipment repairs. The 2.4 mm thickness guarantees durability under load, but does not interfere with ease of control and accuracy.
Durability, care and other features
Thanks to the combination of reliable steel and a natural handle, the knife demonstrates increased durability and resistance to aggressive environments. It is easy to maintain sharpness with both abrasive stones and universal sharpeners, and regular rinsing and drying after working in extreme conditions is all that is required for a long knife life.
The specific layout (148 mm blade, 125 mm handle) ensures perfect balance and ergonomics for long-term work, and the universal size is suitable for both men's and women's hands. The leather sheath protects the blade from damage and scuffs during transportation.

Unique moments and historical traditions
The use of a birch bark handle is a rare sign of knives created by a master who pays tribute to the Russian historical heritage.
