Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel — M390 (hardness 62 HRC):
Premium Böhler M390 powder steel is one of the best in the world for knife manufacturing due to its excellent balance between cutting edge retention, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. The hardness of 62 HRC ensures a very long retention of sharpness even during intensive use. The M390 steel is renowned for its resistance to rust and aggressive environments, making it suitable for use in humid conditions, fishing or hiking.
Handle — textolite:
Textolite is a practical composite material with high strength, resistance to temperature changes and moisture. The pleasant texture and lightness of the material guarantee a secure grip on the hand, even if the textolite is wet or stained with grease, which is especially important for field, household and kitchen tasks.
Blade Shape — Trailing Point:
The long sharp tip and the raised butt line are characteristic of the shape of the trailing point. This geometry provides high sharpness and maneuverability when working: it is ideal for thin slicing of meat, fish, stripping, thinning and precise culinary operations. The absence of aggressive protrusions makes the knife convenient for cleaning and cutting game and vegetables.
Dimensions and construction:
The blade is 150 mm long and 3 mm thick — versatile, suitable for both domestic and tourist, hunting or kitchen tasks. The handle length of 130 mm allows you to hold the knife confidently even in a large hand. The all-metal construction increases strength and reliability, reducing the risk of breakage under axial loads.
Sheath — leather:
The sturdy leather scabbard provides excellent blade protection and easy carrying.
Optimal application conditions
- Hiking, hunting, fishing: high corrosion resistance and durability make the knife an excellent choice for hiking, cutting fish, game, and field work.
- Cuisine: the shape of the trailing point makes it easy to mill fish, remove meat from bones and perform any thin cuts.
- Household tasks:The knife confidently handles cutting, opening packages, stripping and other daily tasks.
- Collection goals: The model is interesting due to premium materials and handmade aesthetics, as well as the historical Uzbek traditions of the form.

- It is somewhat limited in tactical and survival applications, where a universal shape (drop point, tanto) and a short tip are required.
Care recommendations
- The M390 steel is not afraid of moisture, but to maintain its perfect appearance, it is recommended to rinse and wipe the knife dry after working with aggressive media or seawater.
- It is sufficient to periodically clean the textolite handle from dirt with a damp cloth, avoiding prolonged soaking in liquids. It is better to sharpen the knife using a high-quality guide system or diamond stones: The M390 requires a hard abrasive.
- Leather scabbards should be periodically soaked with cream or wax for leather — this will prolong their service life and preserve their appearance.
