Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
S390 blade steel: maximum performance and reliability
The blade is made of S390 steel, one of the most modern and high–tech tool steels. It has an extremely high hardness (70 HRC), which ensures outstanding wear resistance and preservation of the cutting edge even under heavy use. The S390 contains significant amounts of vanadium and cobalt, which makes the blade exhibit excellent cutting properties and stain resistance.
However, such a high hardness also means that steel becomes more brittle compared to less hard alloys, so it is not recommended to use a knife for chopping hard materials (bone, metal, frozen foods).
Moisture resistance and corrosion resistance
The S390 has good, but not absolute, corrosion resistance: regular maintenance and drying after contact with moisture are required. Prolonged exposure to aggressive media (sea water, acids) is not recommended to avoid the appearance of rust.
The genuine leather scabbard provides decent protection for the blade during transportation and storage, adding aesthetics and durability.
Handle materials: ironwood, carbon fiber, black hornbeam
The combination of ironwood, carbon fiber and black hornbeam provides the handles with a premium appearance and exceptional durability. Ironwood is one of the hardest and most wear–resistant natural materials, resistant to moisture and temperature changes. Carbon fiber gives the structure extra strength and minimal weight, while black hornbeam adds a pleasant texture and a soft grip.
This handle ensures a secure hold of the knife in both dry and wet hands, preventing it from slipping, which is especially important for everyday wear and universal use.
Blade Shape: Normal Blade
The classic shape of the blade (Normal Blade) with a width of 30 mm and a length of 155 mm makes the knife a versatile tool for a wide range of tasks: careful cutting, skinning, stripping and minor work requiring precision. The 3.5mm thickness provides a balance between sufficient strength and excellent penetration.
The Normal Blade is a time–tested shape with a historical legacy of knives designed for everyday concealed carry (zasapozhny format), which makes it especially relevant for hunters, anglers, tourists and those who appreciate compactness and functionality.
Easy maintenance and sharpening
S390 steel requires a professional approach to sharpening: due to its hardness, the knife retains its sharpness for a long time, however, high-quality abrasives (preferably diamond bars) are needed to restore the edge. Blade maintenance involves periodic cleaning and application of protective oil during long-term storage. The handle does not require special care, it is enough to wipe it with a dry cloth after use.
Main tasks and application scenarios
- Ideal for hunting – cutting and processing trophies, skinning.
- A reliable helper in tourism, camping and fishing – universal tasks, woodwork, cooking in nature.
- It is excellent as an element of everyday equipment (EDC) due to its compactness, ergonomics and hidden carrying capabilities.
- Collectible value due to handmade, premium materials and status.
Advantages and limitations
- Advantages:
- Unique cutting edge resistance (steel S390, 70 HRC).
- Minimal need for sharpening when used correctly.
- Durable and comfortable handle made of premium materials – ironwood, carbon fiber, black hornbeam.
- The aesthetics and status are handmade, every detail is carefully crafted by a craftsman.

- Limitations:
- It is not recommended to use it for heavy power work, cutting bone or metal.
- Steel requires careful regular maintenance (drying, oil treatment).
- Sharpening is more difficult compared to knives made of less hard steels – professional sharpening is recommended.
Care recommendations and final tips
- Wash the blade regularly and wipe it thoroughly after use, especially when in contact with moisture.
- If stored for a long time, lightly lubricate the blade with neutral oil.
- Do not use the knife as a pry bar, screwdriver, or for chopping hard materials.
- The handle made of wood and carbon fiber does not require special care, but it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive liquids.
A brief recommendation:
This knife is an ideal choice for discerning hunters, fishermen, tourists, collectors and connoisseurs of handmade, who value maximum sharpness, reliability, elegance and premium materials. It is not suitable for those who need ease of maintenance or require a tool for heavy power work.
