Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: forged 95X18
Forged steel 95X18 is one of the best Russian—made stainless steels, widely loved for its combination of corrosion resistance, strength and high wear resistance. The hardness of 58 HRC provides the blade with excellent cutting edge retention, while the steel is not excessively hard — the knife is easy to straighten and sharpen in the field or at home. Due to its structure, 95X18 is practically not afraid of moisture, which makes the knife ideal for outdoor use, hiking and cutting food, including wet and greasy.
Handle: bubinga
Bubinga is a hard, hard—wearing and beautiful exotic wood with a deep natural pattern. The bubinga handle fits perfectly in the hand and does not slip even when working in wet conditions, and also withstands long-term operation without loss of aesthetics. Due to its textural features, wood provides a reliable grip, is pleasant to the touch and at the same time is resistant to moisture (subject to periodic care, such as wax or oil treatment)
.
Blade Shape and Geometry: Drop Point
The classic Drop Point shape with a smooth descent from the butt to the tip makes the knife as versatile as possible: it easily handles cutting, piercing and precision work. The blade thickness of 2 mm with a length of 82 mm provides a balance between strength and maneuverability. This geometry is especially good for working with products, small parts, skinning, and wood carving — that is, for performing delicate, precise operations.
Handle and ergonomics
The handle length of 120 mm is optimal for a confident and comfortable grip in the palm of any size. Thanks to the bubbling material and thoughtful shape, the knife holds securely even in a wet hand, does not cause fatigue during prolonged use and ensures precise movements.
Scabbard: Equipped with high-quality genuine leather scabbard, which provides easy carrying and protection of the knife from external influences.
