Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel — Böhler K340 (HRC 62): The main advantage of this steel is its outstanding wear resistance and durability. K340 is a tool steel with a high chromium content, which perfectly resists discoloration of the cutting edge and has excellent wear resistance even during intensive work. The hardness of 62 HRC ensures phenomenal sharpening retention, and the knife will stay sharp much longer compared to most other steels.
At the same time, high hardness requires care: the blade is less plastic, so it is not recommended to perform fracture work or use a knife to cut hard materials (bones, large-thickness wood). K340 steel is resistant to corrosion due to its chromium content, but it is inferior in rust protection to stainless steels, therefore, after contact with moisture or products, it is recommended to thoroughly wipe and store the knife in a dry place.
The shape of the blade is Clip-point: The classic shape of the NKVD finca blade, inspired by the legendary hunting and service knives of the 20th century. The Clip-point provides a thin, sharp tip for precise work, high piercing power, and is versatile for slicing, grocery work, cutting, and fine wood carving. This geometry is ideal for universal tourist, hunting and everyday knives, as well as for historical reconstructions.
Limitation: the thin tip is less suitable for heavy work on bones or picking — chipping is possible.
Handle — carved bone and nickel silver:The carved natural bone gives the knife an exquisite aesthetic and emphasizes the status of the handmade product. Nickel-silver elements add exclusivity and protect the structure, acting as a beautiful and durable frame. The handle is comfortable, provides a secure grip, and the wearable guard additionally protects the hand from slipping even with gloves.
Due to the processing and combination of materials, the handle is securely held in the hand, however, when working for a long time in wet conditions or in contact with grease, it is recommended to wipe the handle more often to avoid slipping. Carved bone requires careful handling — prolonged wetting and sudden temperature changes are not recommended.
Scabbard — genuine leather:The classic leather sheath holds the knife securely, protecting the blade from environmental influences. Leather harmonizes with the aesthetics of expensive materials and emphasizes the status of the product.

Unique advantages
Combining the legendary authenticity of the NKVD finca with modern high-tech materials (K340), the exclusivity of the carved bone handle and nickel silver inserts creates a truly collectible and functional handmade knife. Such a knife will become the business card of the owner, the heir to traditions and a reliable companion on a hike.
Care recommendations and final conclusion
Care recommendations: After use, especially after contact with moisture, food or organic matter, wipe the blade dry and store the knife in a dry leather sheath. Keep the bone handle away from prolonged wetting and avoid strong mechanical influences. If necessary, use fine-grained stones for sharpening, since K340 steel requires a careful approach, but it will reward a very long retention of the cutting edge.
Final recommendation: This knife is an ideal choice for fans of historical style, hunters, tourists, collectors and all connoisseurs of things that combine durability, excellent working qualities and refined handmade aesthetics. It is not optimal for heavy household chores, picking and extreme survival, but it is perfectly suitable for tasks requiring sharpness, precision and status.
