Detailed analysis of design and technological features
The Böhler K340 steel blade is a modern tool material characterized by high hardness (HRC 60), excellent wear resistance and long–term preservation of the cutting edge. Due to its vanadium and chromium content, the K340 is distinguished by its outstanding resistance to abrasive wear, which allows the knife to remain sharp even during active use in difficult conditions. The chemical composition gives the knife good corrosion resistance — the knife is not afraid of moisture in most situations, but requires minimal maintenance (cleaning and drying after use) to prevent the appearance of pitting, especially when working in aggressive environments.
The shape of the blade – Normal Blade with a width of 28 mm and a thickness of 3 mm ensures the versatility of the knife: it is optimally suited for most household, tourist and hunting tasks, allowing you to perform both delicate work (cutting, butchering) and rough actions (preparing firewood for a campfire, cutting on hard materials). The length of the 153 mm blade is perfectly balanced between maneuverability and efficiency, making the knife practical to carry behind the boot ("boot" type) and precise in use.
The handle made of stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam combines traditional aesthetics and modern technology. The stabilization of Karelian birch guarantees the absence of swelling or deformation under the influence of moisture, and black hornbeam gives the product additional strength and elegant appearance. This combination of materials makes the handle not only functional, but also uniquely beautiful: each knife is individual, thanks to the natural birch pattern. The handle is ergonomic — the length of 122 mm fits comfortably even in a large palm, and the wood texture and shape firmly fix the knife in the hand in dry and wet conditions.
The genuine leather sheath is durable, wear—resistant and provides additional protection for the knife during transportation - a classic solution for a stylish and durable accessory.
Optimal application area
The perfect combination of K340 steel and the classic blade shape makes this knife a versatile choice for outdoor tourism, hunting, fishing and field cooking. The knife perfectly copes with cutting game, slicing food, wood and synthetic cutting, and is also suitable for small jobs (sharpening pegs, removing bark, preparing kindling). Due to its aesthetics and quality of execution, it is also perfect for connoisseurs of collectible and gift knives who love the balance between tradition and modern technology.

Care and specific recommendations
To preserve the appearance and working properties of the knife for a long time, it is recommended to wash and thoroughly wipe the blade after use; if stored for a long time or operated in conditions of high humidity, apply a thin layer of oil to the steel.
