Detailed analysis of characteristics and properties
Blade steel: D2 (hardness 64 HRC)
The blade is made of D2 tool steel, which is one of the most popular steels in the premium segment of handmade knives. D2 is known for its high wear resistance and long-lasting sharpness due to its high chromium (at least 12%) and carbon content. The hardness of 64 HRC is a parameter indicating outstanding durability and long—term preservation of the cutting edge, ideal for intensive work on wood, leather, textiles, as well as for hunting and hiking tasks.
Corrosion resistance and operating conditions
D2 is a semi-stainless steel: it resists corrosion well, but still requires minimal maintenance, especially during prolonged contact with moisture or organic matter. After use in damp conditions, it is recommended to wipe and lubricate the blade.
Handle: birch bark
The handle made of natural birch bark is the choice of connoisseurs of classics, comfort and aesthetics of Russian traditions. Birch bark perfectly removes moisture from the hand, minimizes slipping even in a humid environment, and thanks to its multi-layered structure, it really feels warm in the hand and does not get cold even in winter. The material is light, pleasant to the touch and provides a secure grip for a long time.
Blade shape: Clip-point
Clip-point is a versatile shape ideal for precision work, piercing, skinning and butchering, as well as for household and tourist tasks. The pointed geometry, combined with a moderate blade width (32 mm) and a thickness of 2.4 mm, provides an optimal balance between cutting control, penetration, and durability.
Dimensions and ergonomics
The blade length of 133 mm is a universal size for most field, hiking, hunting and household work, and the handle length of 125 mm is suitable for most palms. A firm grip is maintained even when working with gloves or in a humid environment. The leather scabbard reliably protects the blade and makes it comfortable to wear.
Optimal applications and advantages

Restrictions and recommendations for care

- Hardness 64 HRC provides excellent retention of sharpening, but requires careful handling under rough impact loads (batoning, picking) — it is possible to chip the edge on particularly hard materials.
- Sharpening: D2 is more difficult to sharpen than carbon steels, it is recommended to use diamond or ceramic abrasives for high-quality straightening.
- Birch bark handle:It needs periodic treatment with natural oil or wax to maintain its appearance and protect it from drying out.
