Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade Steel – Böhler S390 Microclean:The blade is made of premium S390 high-speed powder steel with a hardness of 70 HRC. It is one of the most high-tech steels of our time, combining exceptional wear resistance, sharpness retention and cutting edge strength. The S390 is almost as good in cutting and service life as even the best examples of modern superhard steels, and the hardness of 70 HRC brings it to the level of super steel for tasks where long-term sharpness is required.
Due to the optimal balance of cobalt and vanadium, the blade retains its sharpness after long loads on wood, leather and textiles, and its wear resistance makes it possible to sharpen the knife less often, even during active use.
Corrosion resistance:S390 has good resistance to moisture and corrosion — it is not completely stainless steel, but with proper care it is resistant to major environmental influences. For perfect protection, it is recommended to periodically lubricate and wipe the blade dry after contact with moisture.
Handle — Karelian birch with nickel silver:The elegant combination of Karelian birch and nickel silver gives the knife an expressive appearance and a special tactile feeling. Karelian birch is a traditional Scandinavian material with a unique natural pattern, resistance to cracking and comfort in the hand. Nickel-silver elements add nobility, increase the wear resistance of the grip and protect the ends of the handle. This design minimizes hand slip even when working with gloves or wet conditions. The handle length (125 mm) fits most palms, providing a secure and secure grip.
Blade shape: Clip-point
This shape is great for precise and controlled work. The 32 mm wide and 133 mm long blade allows for both cutting and piercing with high precision — a versatile solution for hikers, hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. The Clip-point is especially appreciated for its controlled tip: it is convenient for them to carve small and medium game, skin, perform woodwork, and also solve a wide range of household tasks. The blade thickness of 2.4 mm is a compromise between durability and excellent cutting ability.
Genuine leather scabbard: They ensure reliable storage and transportation of the knife, protect the blade from external influences and emphasize the handmade status.

- The clip-point shape is versatile and accurate in a variety of scenarios.
- Stable operation of the handle in conditions of moisture and cold.
- Limitations:
- It is not recommended for heavy power work (breaking, chopping hard materials) — the thin blade (2.4 mm) is designed for a neat cut.
- Steel requires regular maintenance to protect against corrosion when stored in damp conditions or in frequent contact with aggressive environments.
- High hardness makes it difficult to sharpen without specialized tools — it is recommended to use high-quality diamond abrasives. It is not intended for professional kitchen work with solid products (frozen meat, large bones).
Care recommendations
- Keep the blade dry after use, especially after contact with moisture or aggressive environments.
- Periodically lubricate the blade with a thin layer of mineral oil for additional corrosion protection.
- Sharpen only on hard abrasives (diamond, ceramic) to maintain the correct edge geometry without overheating the metal.
- The wooden handle can be periodically treated with linseed or teak oil to preserve the color depth and protect it from drying out.
- Avoid keeping the knife in a damp environment for a long time and do not store the blade in a damp sheath.
