Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel – Böhler K340 (HRC 62):
Austrian tool steel K340 is a modern alloy with high hardness (62 HRC), impressive wear resistance and excellent cutting ability. Due to the high content of vanadium and molybdenum, the blade retains its sharpness for a long time, withstands intensive work on hard materials and is resistant to mechanical damage.
Corrosion resistance is above average for tool steels, but it does not reach the best stainless grades: the blade is not afraid of moisture and weather conditions, but requires regular wiping and maintenance after use, especially when used in an aggressive environment.
Handle material – rosewood, artificial stone, nickel silver:
The combination of noble rosewood and artificial stone creates an exquisite look and feel of a premium product. Rosewood is known for its durability, resistance to deformation, and is not afraid of light moisture and temperature changes. Inserts made of nickel silver emphasize the aesthetics of the product and increase durability. This handle holds securely in your hand even during prolonged operation, does not slip, and is well balanced in weight.
Blade Shape – Drop Point:
The versatile shape of the Drop Point provides a controlled cut, a durable tip and convenience when performing a wide range of tasks. Due to the smooth lowering of the butt line, the blade is well suited for precision work and controlled puncture, and is not prone to breakage under transverse loads.
Dimensions and balancing:
The optimal blade length of 135 mm and a thickness of 2.4 mm make the knife convenient for most household, tourist, work and hunting tasks. The handle length of 125 mm ensures comfortable grip with almost any hand. The leather sheath reliably protects the knife and emphasizes its status as a handmade product.
Optimal conditions and applications
- A full-fledged universal knife for tourism, hunting, fishing, bushcraft and outdoor work.
- It is suitable for outdoor kitchen tasks (cutting, slicing, cleaning), but it is not specialized for filigree culinary work.
- Ideal for woodwork, small craft, butchering and skinning (Drop Point design).
- It will perfectly prove itself as a practical and effective knife for collectors and connoisseurs of handmade art.
Advantages and limitations
- Advantages:
- Very high wear resistance, keeps sharpness for a long time.
- A balance of strength, resilience and control thanks to the Drop Point shape.
- The ergonomic, beautiful handle made of rosewood and artificial stone combines aesthetics and practicality in one product.
- High quality handmade, individuality of each product.
- Decent corrosion protection with proper care.
- Ease of sharpening on modern abrasives.
- Restrictions:
- It is not recommended for immersion in seawater or long-term storage in a wet state without maintenance.
- It is not suitable for heavy work with bones, metal objects and opening cans – there is a risk of damage to the cutting edge.
- It will require careful care of the handle and blade to maintain its appearance. It is not specialized for fine kitchen slicing (thinning, carving).
Features of care
- It is recommended to wipe the blade dry after use, especially after contact with moisture, acid, blood or salt water.
- Apply a thin layer of protective oil to the blade and the wooden part of the handle every few months.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to humid environments and direct contact with aggressive chemicals.
- Regular wet cleaning without the use of abrasives is sufficient to preserve the aesthetics of artificial stone.
Brief recommendation and conclusion
This knife is the choice for those who appreciate the balance of reliability, versatility, long cutting power and man—made aesthetics. It is designed for active travelers, hunters, lovers of practical luxury and collectors. It is not suitable for those who are looking for a specialized kitchen tool or plan to use the knife exclusively in a humid environment without maintenance. The main advantage is the combination of modern steel, luxurious handle materials and original workmanship, which makes it desirable not only for work, but also for the collection.
