Precise analysis of the characteristics and properties of the knife
Blade steel: HW5
HV5 steel is known for its outstanding hardness (HRC 66), which ensures exceptional wear resistance of the cutting edge. Due to its high carbon content and special alloying elements, the blade demonstrates excellent sharpening retention even with intensive use. However, it is worth remembering that HV5 is a tool carbon steel that is less resistant to moisture than stainless steels. When in contact with moisture, regular oil treatment is required to prevent corrosion.
Handle material: Birch bark
The birch bark handle is a traditional solution for hunting knives in Russia with a rich historical heritage. Birch bark holds perfectly even with a wet hand or in a glove due to its natural roughness and light elasticity. This material is not only practical, but also aesthetic — the natural texture of each handle is unique. An additional advantage is its light weight and resistance to temperature fluctuations.
Geometry and shape of the blade
With a length of 142 mm, a thickness of 2.4 mm and a width of 28 mm, the "Normal Blade" blade is well balanced between versatility and maneuverability. This shape is great for cutting and household chores in the field, whether it's cutting game, preparing food, or minor carpentry tasks. The factory geometry is not prone to chipping, while ensuring confident and precise cutting.
Durability and wear resistance
The hardness of 66 HRC is the highest standard for hunting knives, which allows you to use the knife for a long time without sawing, even on hard materials (meat with small bones, tendons, wood). Carbon steel requires care — brittleness is possible under excessive lateral loads.
Care and sharpening
The blades made of HV5 are easy to edit and sharpen manually, restoring razor sharpness even after heavy loads. The maintenance of the birch bark handle is minimal — it is enough to dry it after work and avoid prolonged contact with moisture in order to preserve its elasticity and structure.
Applications, advantages and limitations
Optimal tasks and conditions:
- Ideal choice for hunting: cutting game, skinning, rough and precise meat work
- Suitable for hiking and camping: cooking, working with wood, performing small household tasks
- It works well in the conditions of the Russian nature: it does not slip in the hand, it is easy to clean, it is adapted to changes in weather conditions
Possible limitations:
- It is not recommended for use in marine, damp and aggressive environments without careful maintenance: HV5 steel is prone to corrosion with prolonged exposure to moisture
- It is not intended for heavy impact work (for example, chopping large bones, chopping branches), chipping on the cutting edge is possible if used improperly
- Birch bark is a natural material that requires care: do not leave the knife wet or store it in high humidity
Unique product features
- Handmade: each handle is individual in texture and pattern
- A unique combination of high hardness (66 HRC) and a traditional Russian birch bark handle
- Light weight and excellent ergonomics — the knife fits comfortably in the palm of any size
- It is offered complete with a durable handmade leather scabbard
Recommendations and summary
Recommendation: This knife is designed for connoisseurs of traditions, hunters, fishermen, tourists and anyone who prefers reliability and style in one product. If you are looking for a durable and aesthetic tool for hunting, field work or collection, this model will be your reliable companion. Clean and dry the steel and handle regularly after use, and treat the blade with a light layer of oil to protect it from corrosion. If you plan to use the knife in an extremely humid or marine environment, consider a stainless steel model.
The choice is for those who love nature, appreciate the work of a craftsman and do not accept compromises between style and practicality. This knife is a functional symbol of history and true masculine character.
