Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel: KN-01
KN-01 steel is a modern high—tech material that is characterized by exceptionally high hardness (HRC 70). This hardness indicates the impressive durability of the cutting edge: even with active use, the knife retains its sharpness for a long time, minimizing the frequency of sharpening. Due to the high density, the steel structure is resistant to wear, and the cut remains clean and aggressive for a long time. It is important to remember that steel with a similar hardness level requires careful handling under stress and lateral forces — it cuts well, but is not designed to work on very hard materials with a high risk of chipping.
KH-01 has good corrosion resistance, however, for maximum durability, it is recommended to wipe and dry the blade after contact with moisture to prevent stains.
Handle: Black Hornbeam
Black hornbeam is a rare wood species with excellent density, smooth texture and noble depth of color. It is highly resistant to mechanical damage and moisture, does not swell or crack with proper care. The black hornbeam wood gives the handle a special tactile feel and provides a secure grip, fits perfectly in the hand, does not slip even when working in wet conditions.
Design and ergonomics
Convenience and speed of operation are provided by a reliable Liner-lock, which can be easily opened with one hand and is equally safe for right-handers and left-handers. The handle geometry (125 mm long) provides a firm grip for most palms, allowing you to work with the knife in both a regular and a power grip. Its compactness and relatively small thickness make it an excellent option for everyday use.
Blade shape and characteristics
The 110 mm long, 30 mm wide and 2.4 mm thick blade is versatile: the optimal balance between penetration and cutting control. The geometry of the blade, which is typical for folding universal models, allows you to confidently perform precise cuts, and is well suited for work on products, medium-hardness materials, packaging, fine wood, and travel tasks. High hardness and fine cutting make the knife ideal for filigree work, cutting paper, fabric, fine leather.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
Optimal tasks and conditions:
-
Daily Wear (EDC): opening packages, working with paper and fabrics, minimal repairs, picnic, urban and tourist applications.
- Tourism, fishing: the knife performs well in working with food, cutting small fish and poultry.
- Collector's trend: due to the handmade, noble black hornbeam and outstanding hardness, the blade has collector's value.
Main advantages:
-
Extreme hardness and long-lasting sharpness of the blade.
- The handle made of elite black hornbeam is durable, moisture—resistant, pleasant to the touch, aesthetically effective.
- Reliable and secure Liner-lock.
- Compact size and versatile shape.
- Leather sheath for safe storage.
Possible limitations:
-
It is not intended for heavy power work, chopping, opening hard objects or working with bone — the cutting edge may chip due to its high hardness.
- It requires careful handling under lateral loads.
- Regular oil treatment of the handle is recommended to maintain the perfect appearance of the wood.
Care recommendations
- After each use, it is recommended to wipe and dry the blade to avoid stains and corrosion.
- It is advisable to periodically treat a black hornbeam handle with wood oil — this will preserve its deep color and silky texture.
- Do not use a knife for planing hard wood or working on bones and metal.
Conclusion and recommendations
This knife is an excellent choice for handmade connoisseurs, aesthetes, collectors, as well as for those who are looking for an elegant and reliable tool for daily use, outdoor activities, picnics and tourism. It is especially recommended for those who appreciate the combination of high cutting power, premium materials and sophisticated style. For heavy work and power use, it is better to prefer models with lower blade hardness. Care is simple and comes down to basic hygiene and periodic oil treatment of the handle — in this case, the knife will retain its unique aesthetics and working qualities for a long time.
