Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel: HW5 (HRC 65)
The blade is made of high-carbon tool steel HV5, characterized by high hardness (65 HRC). Thanks to this, the knife demonstrates exceptional cutting edge durability and high wear resistance — it is an ideal choice for tasks related to cutting and processing hard materials. However, despite its outstanding sharpness and long service life of sharpening, HV5 steel does not have pronounced anticorrosive properties, therefore it requires regular maintenance and protection from moisture. The knife perfectly tolerates significant loads on the cut, does not deform during intensive use, but if used improperly, it may be more prone to chipping due to its high hardness.
Handle: Birch bark
The handle is made of natural birch bark, which has a unique texture, pleasant tactility and excellent grip even in wet conditions. Birch bark perfectly dampens vibrations and does not slip, which is especially valuable when hunting or in the forest. The natural properties of the material give the knife an aesthetic appeal, making each product unique, however, to preserve its appearance, the handle requires careful handling and periodic maintenance using special oils or waxes.
Blade Shape: Normal Blade
The classic shape of the blade provides versatility: the knife is equally well suited for precise cuts, cutting game, skinning, cutting food and woodwork. 3.2 mm thick and 25 mm wide give the blade an optimal combination of strength and maneuverability. This geometry provides a good balance between strength and ease of use, allowing the knife to be used for both filigree and power operations.
Scope of application and optimal use scenarios
- Hunting and fishing: It is ideal for cutting game, skinning, trophy preparation and performing household tasks in the field.
- Hiking, hiking, survival: It allows you to confidently perform a wide range of work — from cooking to creating a shelter and making the simplest wooden structures.
- Collecting: Natural birch bark and handmade make each piece unique, which is highly appreciated by collectors.
- Cuisine and everyday life: It can be used for cutting products, but requires careful handling due to the high hardness and specific care of carbon steel.

- It is not recommended to use the knife for heavy carpentry, chopping, or as a pry bar.
Features of care
It is recommended to wipe the blade dry regularly after use, especially after contact with moisture or aggressive environments. To prevent corrosion, it is necessary to periodically apply a thin layer of oil to the blade. It is advisable to treat the birch bark handle with special oils or wax for natural wood — this will prevent it from drying out and preserve the elasticity of the material.
