Technical analysis of properties and features
Blade made of D2 steel (hardness 64 HRC)
D2 steel belongs to the class of tool steels with high carbon and chromium content. The blade with such a steel and a hardness of 64 HRC guarantees outstanding wear resistance and long—term retention of sharpening - this knife retains its working sharpness even with frequent use. D2 is more resistant to corrosion than most traditional carbon steels, although it is not completely stainless.: the knife is demanding to maintain, especially when in contact with moisture or products with high acidity.
Drop Point Blade Shape
Drop Point is a versatile, time—tested geometry that combines the strength of the butt, a convenient piercing and cutting part. This shape provides control during precise work and increases practicality for a wide range of tasks, from cutting to slicing, especially in tourism, hunting, fishing and everyday use.
The handle is made of natural birch bark
The handle is made of carefully selected birch bark, an eco—friendly, warm-to-the-touch material that has a pronounced texture, does not slip even in a wet hand and absorbs micro-impacts well. This material is characterized by lightness and pleasant tactility. Birch bark is not prone to rapid destruction with proper care, however, it does not like prolonged contact with water or too dry / hot climate.
Dimensions and ergonomics
The blade's working length of 118 mm and thickness of 2.4 mm are optimal for universal tasks: the knife is compact enough for precise work, but at the same time it has a sufficient margin of safety for power cuts. The 122 mm long handle fits most palms and provides a secure grip in various grips.
Genuine leather scabbard
The set includes a handmade genuine leather scabbard, which provides reliable fixation of the knife, easy carrying and additional protection of the blade from external influences.

Care recommendations

- It is recommended to additionally treat the birch bark handle with natural oils or wax to protect it from drying out and cracking.
- Keep the knife in the leather sheath only after the blade is completely dry.
