Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: HW5
The blade is made of tool steel HV5 with a declared hardness of 65 HRC, which is one of the most wear—resistant steels used in knife production. Due to its high carbon and molybdenum content, the HV5 is renowned for its outstanding cutting edge durability and excellent ability to maintain sharpening even under heavy use. This steel performs well when working on hard materials, it is excellent for cutting wood, leather, plastic, as well as for precise and long-term work without the need for constant straightening. However, it should be borne in mind that due to its high hardness, HV5 steel is somewhat less viscous than stainless alloys, which requires care when exposed to lateral loads - the blade is not designed for rough power work such as prying or chopping bones.
Handle material: Bubinga Auto
The handle is made of African bubinga wood, known for its hardness, exotic reddish-brown hue and expressive texture. Thanks to autoclaving technology, wood acquires additional stability and resistance to changes in humidity and temperature. This handle fits securely in the hand, even if the palm is wet, and the relief and impregnation significantly reduce the risk of slipping.
Dimensions and ergonomics
The blade is 120 mm long and 2.4 mm thick — universal parameters for a medium-sized knife. It is perfectly balanced: the length of the handle matches the length of the blade, providing perfect grip and control with precise movements. This arrangement makes the knife convenient for long-term work without arm fatigue.
Scabbard: Leather
The aesthetic and practical leather scabbard protects the blade from moisture and mechanical damage during transportation. This adds to the knife's status and convenience of storage.
Blade shape
(The shape of the blade is not specified, so an analysis of specific cutting tasks by geometry is impossible — be guided by the versatility of the size and parameters of the steel.)
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
- Optimal tasks: universal work in nature, in tourism and hunting, woodwork, cutting products, precise hobbyist tasks where stable and long-term cutting is required.
- Areas of application:hiking, camping, hunting (cutting tasks), household and household use, collecting.
- Outstanding advantages:
- Unique cutting resistance and edge hardness (steel HV5, 65 HRC).
- The eco—friendly natural material of the handle is premium bubinga, which has been autoclaved to protect against moisture and cracking.
- Ergonomic, non-slip grip even in wet hand.
- The durability of the knife in any household and tourist conditions.
- Handmade by the author and premium aesthetics.
- Limitations:
- HV5 steel is not stainless — it requires regular maintenance, wiping and drying after work in humid conditions, to avoid prolonged contact with acids and moisture, to oil the blade if necessary.
- High hardness reduces viscosity — it is not recommended to use a knife for heavy power work, pruning, chopping bones and metal objects.
Care recommendations
- Wipe the blade dry after each use, especially if you have worked in a humid environment.
- To prevent corrosion, it is recommended to periodically lubricate the blade with light oil.
- The bubing handle is resistant to moisture, but use special wood oils to preserve its appearance and color saturation.
- Knife sharpening requires the use of high—quality abrasives - diamond or ceramic stones are recommended while maintaining factory angles.
Suitable for whom and not recommended
This knife will be a real godsend for tourists, hunters, handmade connoisseurs and collectors, as well as anyone who is looking for a versatile reliable tool for outdoor work, in everyday life or as part of an elegant gift. Its high hardness, premium aesthetics and hand-made finish make it ideal for those who appreciate the combination of practicality and a unique look.
It is not recommended for long-term use in highly aggressive environments (survival, saltwater fishing, working with bones and metal) without proper care and knowledge of the intricacies of carbon steel operation.
Final recommendation:If you need a durable, elegant and comfortable knife for a wide range of tasks outside of extreme power loads and you are ready to pay a little attention to tool care, this is your choice.
