Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel — HV5: The knife is based on chrome—plated tool steel HV5 with a hardness of 65 HRC. Due to this high level of hardening, the blade demonstrates exceptional wear resistance and long-term preservation of the cutting edge. It is a steel known for its resistance to crumpling and excellent cutting characteristics, making it easy to work even with hard materials. However, like most high-carbon steels, HV5 requires careful care: it is inferior in anti-corrosion properties to its stainless counterparts and needs regular wiping and protection from moisture.
The material of the handle is bubinga: The exotic bubinga wood is famous not only for its decorative texture and rich color, but also for its high density, resistance to mechanical damage and durability. Bubinga does not absorb moisture, is resistant to cracking, and also fits perfectly in your hand both dry and wet. The wood is finished with natural oils, which enhances its water-repellent properties and emphasizes the natural beauty of the material.
The shape of the blade is Spear Point: The symmetrical profile of the Spear Point is a special balance of piercing and cutting functions. Two almost identical bevels form a powerful tip with excellent penetrating ability, which is useful when piercing materials. The blade length of 148 mm and thickness of 2.4 mm ensure durability at work and allow you to perform both delicate and more powerful tasks.
Holding in the hand: The ergonomics of the 125 mm long handle guarantees a comfortable and reliable grip even during prolonged operation. Due to the bubing texture, the knife does not slip in the hand, which is crucial for control and safety in the field.
Wear resistance, corrosion resistance and maintenance:With a hardness of 65 HRC, the CB5 is resistant to wear and keeps sharpening for a long time, which makes it possible to edit the knife less often. However, the blade requires regular lubrication/cleaning after use, especially when in contact with moisture, to prevent corrosion. Bubbling does not require special care — it is enough to rinse and update the oil impregnation from time to time.
Scope of application and advantages
- It is optimal for: tourism, hunting, fishing, camping, as well as for field work requiring a durable and sharp blade. The design of the knife is historically inspired by army sapper knives, which makes it a reliable universal tool for outdoor activities and survival.
- Advantages:high wear resistance and durability of the cutting edge, Spear Point piercing profile, comfortable handle, natural aesthetics and durability of bubinga wood, leather sheath for safe carrying.
Limitations and unacceptable use cases
- It is not intended for kitchen work with highly acidic products, strong contact with moisture and work in an aggressively humid environment - HV5 steel is prone to corrosion if handled carelessly.
- It is not recommended to use for cutting hard bones (scrap loads) — the thin blade is designed for cutting and pricking, not for heavy impact operations.
- Despite the high hardness, it is worthwhile to work carefully with the blade to avoid chipping under heavy lateral loads.
Short recommendations and tips for care
An ideal choice for hunters, hikers, collectors and all handmade connoisseurs who are looking for a reliable, durable and aesthetically appealing knife for hiking or versatile tasks. It is especially worthy for fans of traditional shapes and weapon aesthetics: the combination of exclusive wood and tool steel sets the knife apart from its analogues.Recommendations for care:Clean and lubricate the blade regularly after use. Do not leave the knife in a humid environment. The bubbling handle requires a minimum of care — periodically treat with natural oil to preserve its protective properties and appearance.
