The blade made of HV5 steel is not just the choice of knowledgeable craftsmen, but the embodiment of a high level of hardness (65 HRC), wear resistance and unambiguous operational reliability. HV5 steel is known as tool steel, which has excellent cutting ability and long-term sharpness. Due to its high hardness, the blade demonstrates outstanding wear resistance and does not require sharpening for a long time, even during intensive use.
The Clip-point blade shape provides versatility in cutting, high penetration and excellent control during precision work. This geometry is suitable for both cutting and delicate work that requires care, for example, when preparing food or small household tasks.
The birch bark handle is a classic of the northern peoples, which has unique tactile and operational properties. Birch bark perfectly absorbs moisture, does not slip even in a wet hand, is warm to the touch and has a pleasant texture. This material guarantees a secure hold of the knife in all weather conditions, and also adds aesthetic uniqueness due to the natural pattern.
Dimensions and balance.The blade length of 133 mm with a width of 32 mm and a thickness of 2.4 mm is optimal for most universal tasks. The 125 mm long handle provides a secure grip and comfort during long-term operation.
The leather case not only highlights the handmade status, but also ensures reliable storage and transportation of the knife.
The wear resistance of the blade made of HV5 is at the highest level: the steel is not susceptible to blunting, it can withstand significant loads on cutting and piercing. However, high hardness requires accuracy under lateral loads — the blade is not designed to work on hard metal surfaces or "barbaric" work like opening cans.
Moisture and corrosion resistance.HV5 belongs to carbon tool steels, and for all its advantages, it has an average resistance to corrosion. This means that the blade will require regular maintenance: wipe and lubricate after work, especially after contact with moisture or acids.
The birch bark handle has natural moisture resistance and does not require complicated maintenance, it is enough to periodically wipe and treat with natural oil to preserve the freshness and elasticity of the material.
Knife sharpening is an important point: the HV5 holds the sharpening perfectly, but requires the use of high—quality abrasives. For fast and correct sharpening, it is better to use stones with diamond or carbide coating.
The use of birch bark in the handle refers to the traditions of folk cold weapons of the North, which adds cultural depth and individuality to the product. Each knife has a unique handle pattern, which makes it not only a practical tool, but also a collector's item. The leather scabbard highlights the handmade status and attention to detail.
It is recommended to regularly wipe the blade dry and lubricate it with oil after each use, especially in conditions of high humidity. It is enough to periodically treat the handle with natural oil. Use high—quality stones for sharpening - this way you will preserve the famous sharpness of the HV5.
Short conclusion: This knife is the best choice for those who appreciate the combination of traditional materials, unique appearance, excellent wear resistance and working properties. The knife is ideal for tourism, hunting, fishing, and everyday outdoor use, especially for those who respect handwork and authenticity. It is not recommended for those who value absolute corrosion resistance and expect frequent use of the knife in extremely humid or marine environments without maintenance.
