Technical characteristics and design features
The Blade:High—alloy tool steel Boehler S390 with a hardness of 70 HRC is one of the most advanced powder steels designed for extreme applications. S390 steel is renowned for its exceptional wear resistance, the highest hardness and the ability to keep sharpening for a long time even during intensive use. However, despite its adaptability and wear resistance, the steel itself requires careful handling: its high hardness makes it less ductile, and excessive transverse loads can lead to the risk of chipping.
Dimensions:The blade length is 155 mm, width 30 mm, thickness 3.5 mm — a universal size for a carving knife, suitable for both precise work and confident cuts and cutting.
Blade shape:The classic Normal Blade is a straight blade with a smooth curve and a sharp, pronounced heel. This geometry provides ease of cutting, stable control and versatility of application: from filigree woodwork to skinning and butchering.
The handle:a unique combination of carbon fiber, boxwood and mammoth bone. Carbon fiber is one of the most durable and lightweight modern materials, resistant to moisture and temperature changes. Boxwood is an elite tree species known for its hardness, smoothness and graceful texture. The mammoth bone not only decorates the knife, but also gives the handle uniqueness, emphasizing the handmade status and collectible value of the product. The ergonomic shape of the handle fits optimally into the hand, providing a secure grip in both dry and wet conditions.
The scabbard:Made of genuine leather, reliable, aesthetic, suitable for safe wearing and storage.
Scope of application and optimal tasks
The boot knife of this configuration is perfectly suitable for:
- hunting: skinning, fine butchering, trophy preparation, and strict handling of meat;
- tourism and hiking: a versatile working knife for the camp, easily handles cutting wood, food, rope;
- collector's collection: thanks to the exclusive handle made of mammoth bone and boxwood, it is a worthy addition for connoisseurs of original knives;
- delicate economic tasks that require sharpness and control;
Moisture resistance and wear resistance
S390 steel is highly resistant to wear and loses its sharpness very slowly, even with regular use on hard materials. However, the S390 is not stainless steel. To avoid corrosion, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry after use and lubricate it with neutral oil during prolonged storage.
The carbon fiber handle is resistant to moisture and dirt, is easy to clean and is not afraid of temperature changes. Boxwood and mammoth bone have a high density, but require more careful care: avoid prolonged contact with water — excessive moisture can negatively affect the wood and natural bone.
Wear resistance, durability and ease of care
Wear resistance:The S390 is a benchmark among modern steels for maintaining cutting edges, which is especially important when hunting and hiking, where it is difficult to sharpen a knife on the knee.
Endurance:Despite its hardness, the knife is not designed for impact work (cutting bones, planing thick branches under considerable pressure).
Care: S390 sharpening requires the use of high-quality diamond or ceramic stones. If you have no experience working with such steels, we recommend that you contact professionals. It is enough to wipe the handle with a damp cloth and periodically polish it with compounds for natural wood and bone.
