Blade steel — HV5: The blade made of tool steel HV5 has a high hardness (HRC 65), which guarantees excellent retention of sharpness when working even with hard materials. Due to the increased carbon and chromium content, the HV5 steel is characterized by outstanding wear resistance and mechanical strength, which makes the knife a reliable tool for cutting and planing tasks. However, with such a high hardness, the blade is less resistant to fracture impacts and requires careful handling under lateral loads, as well as regular maintenance to prevent corrosion, since HV5 is not stainless steel.
Handle material — stabilized Karelian birch:The handle is made of a unique natural material that has been stabilized and acquires additional moisture resistance and wear resistance. Karelian birch not only pleases the eye with its recognizable pattern and noble amber-green shades, but also provides excellent grip control in the hand even in wet conditions or when working with gloves. The stabilization protects the wood from swelling, cracking and deformation, preserving its aesthetic appearance for years.
Blade Shape — Drop Point: The classic universal shape with a smooth lowering of the butt to the tip provides excellent cutting handling and high tip strength. Drop Point is ideal for precision work, especially in hiking, hunting and hiking scenarios — butchering, skinning, cooking, household tasks in nature.
Dimensions and ergonomics: The 123 mm long and 2.4mm thick blade is optimally balanced for versatility: long enough for most household and travel tasks, but compact for easy carrying. The handle (125 mm) fits well in the palm of your hand, minimizing fatigue during prolonged operation.
The scabbard: The knife is equipped with a leather sheath, which not only emphasizes premium quality, but also provides reliable protection of the blade and ease of carrying.
