VG-10 steel blade (HRC 62)
The Vepr knife is made of premium Japanese VG-10 steel with a high hardness of 62 HRC, which provides outstanding wear resistance and cutting properties. The VG-10 is renowned for its excellent sharpness retention and corrosion resistance due to its high chromium content, making it suitable for wet conditions and heavy use. At the same time, the blade is easy to straighten and sharpen even in the field.
Karelian birch handle
The warm-to-the-touch handle made of natural Karelian birch not only gives the knife a solid appearance, emphasizing the individuality of the product, but also guarantees a reliable grip. The shape of the handle, smooth contours and unique wood texture ensure ergonomics, preventing slipping even when working with wet hands or gloves. Oil impregnation protects wood from moisture and dirt, giving additional durability.
Blade Shape: Normal Blade
The classic shape of the Normal Blade (with a smooth butt line and symmetrical tip) is versatile and has historically proven itself among hunters. This geometry is ideal for precise cutting, trophy cutting and household tasks, providing a good balance between strength and control. The thickness of 2.4 mm and the width of 32 mm allow you to work confidently with both small and larger workpieces.
Scabbard: Genuine leather
The classic leather sheath securely locks the knife, providing quick access and long-term protection of the blade when carrying. Genuine leather is durable, abrasion-resistant and highlights the handmade status.
