U8A blade steel is a high—carbon tool steel of domestic production, known for its high hardness (up to 59 HRC) and excellent wear resistance. Due to the carbon content, U8A steel provides remarkable cutting edge strength, which is extremely important for tools designed for heavy work on ice and soil.
The blade thickness of 15 mm and the blade length of 720 mm emphasize that this armor is designed to create serious loads — its complex design ensures high efficiency when piercing thick ice or freezing the ground.
The ash handle is a traditional choice for hand tools. Ash is valued for its elasticity, strength and resistance to cracking even at low temperatures. This handle fits comfortably in your hand, does not slip even in wet conditions, and perfectly dampens vibrations on impact.
The handle length of 430 mm provides a reliable two-handed grip for confident control and safe application of force. The material of the handle coating is not painted, which emphasizes the natural beauty of the wood and makes the tool pleasant to the touch even with gloves.
The leather scabbard provides convenient transportation and protection of the foot during storage.
Collapsible design: the tool is convenient to transport and store, easy to assemble and disassemble if necessary.
Optimal application area and key advantages
This foot is indispensable for winter fishermen, hunters, tourists and lovers of extreme recreation who need to quickly and reliably punch a hole in the ice or free the soil from the frozen crust.
The high hardness and strength of U8A steel allow the tool to be used repeatedly without loss of cutting edge efficiency.
The ash handle holds perfectly in your hand, even with mittens or wet palms, thanks to well—thought-out ergonomics and the natural roughness of the wood.
The large length of the blade ensures a deep grip of the ice in one blow, allowing you to quickly and effectively open even a thick layer of coating.
The collapsible design saves space in the trunk or backpack, and the leather scabbard protects the tool and surrounding items from damage.
Limitations and specific recommendations
U8A steel has high wear resistance, but it has low corrosion resistance and is sensitive to moisture. After use, it is important to thoroughly wipe the blade, periodically treat it with protective oil and store it in a dry place — this prevents the appearance of rust.
The ash handle requires minimal maintenance — periodic treatment with special oil or wax helps to keep the wood from drying out and cracking.
The tool is not designed for finishing jobs that require special precision or delicacy (for example, for fine wood carving, meat, or small kitchen tasks) — its powerful design is ideal for heavy impact operations.
Peshnya is not recommended for use in a humid environment on a permanent basis without prevention — prolonged exposure to rain or water can lead to corrosion of the blade and swelling of the handle.
Brief recommendations and conclusion
This tool is an ideal choice for fishermen, hunters, tourists and anyone who appreciates reliability, durability and functionality in extreme conditions. The U8A steel collapsible foot with an ash handle is a combination of a traditional approach, reliable materials and a thoughtful design. It is especially important for those who need to break through thick ice or frozen ground, and for whom ease of assembly and ease of transportation are important.
It is not recommended for tasks where it is required to work with food, wet materials without subsequent maintenance, or when minimal corrosion resistance is important. Armor will require minimal maintenance after use, especially on the blade.
Uniqueness: this tool, made by hand from high-quality materials, combines the historical reliability of domestic pistons with modern requirements for ergonomics and durability. The peshnya from the manufacturer is not just a working tool, but also a part of the Russian traditions of winter fishing and harsh tourism.
