Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: K340
K340 is a modern Austrian—made powdered tool steel known for its outstanding wear resistance and high hardness (62 HRC). This steel perfectly retains its factory sharpness, ensuring a long service life without the need for frequent sharpening. Due to its high proportion of vanadium and molybdenum, K340 exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, which is especially valuable for knives used in the field, hunting, fishing or in high humidity conditions.
Blade Shape: Normal Blade
The classic shape of the Normal Blade ensures versatility of operation: the sharp tip allows precise operations, and the easy lifting of the butt makes the knife convenient for skinning, woodwork and cooking. The blade is 3 mm thick and 128 mm long, making it durable but maneuverable enough — an ideal balance for a camping knife with a wide range of applications.
Handle material and ergonomics: Karelian birch and black hornbeam
The combination of stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam not only gives the knife an expressive aesthetic, but also makes the handle extremely pleasant to the touch. The green shade of Karelian birch sets a unique appearance, emphasizing the individuality of the product and its handiwork. The materials are selected so that the handle remains tenacious even in a wet palm or gloves — this is important for safety and comfort in nature.
Moisture resistance, wear resistance and easy maintenance
K340 is one of the best stainless tool steels: the knife is resistant to rust and easily tolerates contact with moisture, but regular maintenance (wiping after use, minimal application of oil) will help to maintain an impeccable appearance for a long time. The handle made of stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam also perfectly resists moisture and temperature changes, does not change shape and does not crack. K340 is considered heavy enough to be sharpened with steel: to maintain perfect sharpness, it is recommended to use diamond or high-quality ceramic sharpeners.
Optimal applications
- Hunting and tourism:The blade with excellent penetrating ability and long-lasting cutting edge will effortlessly handle skinning, fish cutting, cooking and minor equipment repairs.
- Fishing: resistance to moisture and corrosion makes the knife an indispensable companion on the water.
- Bushcraft and outdoor activities:the handle does not slip even in a wet hand, and the balance of thickness and length of the blade allows you to both cut thinly and work on wood.
- Gift and collection: the exclusivity of the handmade, expressive handle made of rare woods make the knife a valuable gift and a worthy exhibit of any collection.
Restrictions and recommendations for use
- It is not recommended to use the knife as a crowbar: despite its high strength, the blade is designed specifically for cutting and working on materials of medium hardness.
- For thin-slicing (especially vegetables) it may be less convenient than specialized chef knives due to the thickness of the blade.
- Sharpening a product requires skills and high—quality abrasives - the steel is hard, but appreciative with proper maintenance.
Summary and recommendations
The knife is designed for true connoisseurs of handmade, practicality and aesthetics. It is especially suitable for hunters, tourists, fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts who value the durability, reliability and versatility of the tool. The durable and beautiful handle made of Karelian birch and black hornbeam distinguishes the knife from its analogues, and the K340 steel guarantees a long “life” for the sharp edge even under intensive use. For collectors and as a gift, it is a bright, status choice.
Care is simple: wipe the blade after use, the handle does not require special treatment. Periodic sharpening on diamond or ceramic stones is recommended to maintain the brand's sharpness. It is not intended for heavy work involving increased transverse loads.
