Actual analysis of properties and features
Blade steel – forged 95X18 (HRC 58): Forged steel 95X18 is one of the best Russian chrome—plated steels for knives, which has an excellent balance between hardness (58 HRC), corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Due to the high chromium content (up to 18%), the blade perfectly resists moisture, which is especially important for use in the field, hunting or fishing. However, this steel does not belong to premium powder grades, which slightly limits its maximum wear resistance compared to more expensive alloys, but it is much more practical in everyday maintenance: the knife is easy to sharpen even in the field.
Handle – black hornbeam: Black hornbeam is a valuable wood material known for its density and pleasant-to-touch texture. This handle does not slip in a wet hand, provides a reliable and confident grip even with a glove, is highly resistant to wear and perfectly tolerates temperature and humidity changes. The tree does not give "cold" in the hand in winter, which is important for tourism and hunting in any season. However, it is worth noting that natural wood requires minimal maintenance (wipe and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture).
Knife geometry and dimensions – versatility and compactness: The blade thickness is 2 mm, the blade length is 82 mm, the width is 20 mm, the handle length is 120 mm. This combination makes the knife extremely convenient for precise, accurate work: cutting small game, cutting food, working with wood (carving, kindling preparation), preparing a forest camp. The compact size allows you to carry the knife daily (EDC), and the leather sheath reliably protects the blade and ensures comfortable wearing.
Blade Shape – Drop Point: The universal Drop Point form factor is characterized by an increased thickness in the butt, a smooth bend to the tip, which contributes to excellent control over the tool. This shape is optimal for most hiking and hunting tasks — from cutting to slicing, ensures the strength of the tip and safety during piercing, minimizes the risk of damage to the contents during opening.
Durability and ease of care: 95X18 steel shows excellent wear resistance for everyday tasks and does not require frequent sharpening with adequate use. You can sharpen the knife with any household tool. Black hornbeam is resistant to cracks and chips, and the leather of the scabbard is an eco—friendly and durable material that emphasizes the handmade status.
Scope, advantages and limitations
- Ideal for:
- Tourism is a universal companion for hiking and traveling;
- Hunting and fishing — cutting trophies, preparing small branches, products;
- EDC — everyday wear due to its compactness and lightness;
- Woodwork — light carving, bark removal, kindling preparation;

- Restrictions:
- It is not intended for heavy work (chopping, opening bones, heavy toning);
- The size of the blade limits the effectiveness of large-scale cutting operations and tactical use;
- The wooden handle requires periodic maintenance — it is not recommended to leave it in the water for a long time.
Unique moments and differences
The combination of Russian forged steel and carefully crafted black hornbeam in an ergonomic design makes this knife not only practical, but also aesthetically appealing. Each handmade piece is unique in its wood texture and processing, and the traditional leather case emphasizes the status of the handmade product. Historically, such knives have served hunters and travelers faithfully due to their reliability and ease of maintenance.
Care recommendations
- Wipe the blade dry after use, especially after contact with moisture, fish, and food;
- Periodically lubricate the blade with a thin layer of oil to extend the service life;
- Hornbeam handle is recommended to be treated occasionally with natural wax or wood oil;
- The leather sheath should be stored in a dry place and treated with special skin products to preserve elasticity.
Final recommendations
This knife will be the best choice for tourists, hunters, anglers and connoisseurs of compact multifunctional handmade solutions. It will perfectly fit into a collection or an everyday set of an active person who appreciates a reliable tool and good aesthetics. For heavy, power tasks, it is recommended to consider larger and more massive models.
