Technical specifications and design features
This collapsible foot is made with a blade made of U8A tool steel, one of the classic Soviet materials for cold bladed tools. The thickness of the blade — an impressive 15 mm with a length of 720 mm — indicates exceptional strength and the ability to withstand extreme loads when working on ice and other hard natural materials. The hardness of the blade at 59 HRC makes it possible to maintain the sharpness of the working edge during prolonged use, but the steel remains sufficiently viscous to resist chipping and breakage.
The ash handle is a traditional choice for tools where comfort and a firm grip are important, even in conditions of frost or humidity. Ash has a beautiful structure, high elasticity and wear resistance, which is especially important when working outdoors on a regular basis. The handle length is 430 mm, which makes it convenient to operate the tool, distributing the load and protecting the brush from injury.
The peshnya is equipped with a leather scabbard, which makes it easier to carry and store, protecting it from accidental cuts and weather influences.
Scope of application: where the foot reveals its best qualities
The tool is ideal for winter fishing and hiking: punching holes in the ice, checking the thickness of the ice, organizing a camp, performing heavy work on wood or stone in nature. Thanks to the massive blade and high hardness, the foot easily handles the most difficult tasks on ice, including work on wet and even melted ice.
Thanks to the ash handle, the foot is confidently held in the hand with both a glove and a bare palm — the tool does not slip even at high humidity, which is especially important for winter use.
Durability, wear resistance and corrosion resistance
U8A steel is a tool carbon steel that stands out for its excellent strength and wear resistance with proper heat treatment. However, this is not stainless steel: the material is prone to corrosion during prolonged contact with moisture or when stored in dampness, so it is recommended to wipe the blade dry immediately after use and regularly treat the surfaces with protective oil. Ash is extremely resistant to deformation and cracking, even in contact with water, but wood should also be periodically soaked in oil to preserve its best properties.
Sharpening the blade does not cause difficulties — steel easily "picks up" sharpening with any standard tools. Even in the field, it is possible to return to working sharpness quickly and simply.
Constraints and scenarios where footwork is not optimal
-
It is not designed for delicate cutting of small parts — due to the massive blade and weight, the tool is designed for rough, forceful work.
- It is not recommended to use in an aggressive chemical environment and for fine metal work.
- Requires regular maintenance to protect against corrosion.
Brief recommendations and unique differences
A handmade foot made of U8A tool steel is the choice for connoisseurs of reliability, practicality and a classic approach to tools. It is optimal for anglers, tourists, hunters, as well as for rescue work on ice. The key feature is the combination of exceptional durability, comfortable natural grip and ease of maintenance. Such a tool will easily become not only a working assistant, but also a real collector's item for fans of traditional methods of working in nature.
It is recommended for winter fishing, hiking, extreme hiking, as well as for those who appreciate tools with a history and individual character. To maintain perfect condition, it is enough to wipe the blade after work and periodically treat both the blade and the handle with protective oil.
