Detailed analysis of properties and features
S390 Blade steel: S390 high-speed powder steel is renowned for its extraordinary hardness (70 HRC), outstanding wear resistance and blunt resistance. It contains significant amounts of tungsten and vanadium, which ensures an extremely sharp cutting edge and minimal wear even during long and difficult work. Due to these characteristics, the knife retains razor sharpness longer than most analogues, which is especially valuable on the road or in the field.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion: Despite its impressive hardness, the S390 is not stainless steel. It is resistant to moderate moisture due to its alloying elements, but it is still recommended to thoroughly wipe the blade after use and periodically treat it with oil to protect against corrosion.
Easy maintenance and sharpening: S390 is one of the most wear—resistant steels, which means that sharpening will require experience and high-quality equipment (diamond or ceramic stones). For those who value impeccable long-term sharpness, this is a worthwhile compromise.
Handle material: The combination of stabilized Karelian birch (amber) and black hornbeam with nickel silver inserts is an example of classic and shocking at the same time. The stabilized Karelian birch, thanks to special treatment, is not afraid of moisture, does not deform and is pleasant to the touch, and the hornbeam gives the handle exquisite strength and resistance to mechanical influences. Nickel silver adds nobility and durability.
Ergonomics and retention: The traditional shape of the handle strengthens the grip in the hand even in harsh conditions (moisture, cold, skin of the hands). The texture of the stabilized wood and the anatomical profile prevent slipping, providing confidence when working.
Clip-point blade shape: The classic "finka" with a clip-point offers excellent penetrating ability, is convenient for precise and delicate operations, and is also versatile in cutting and slicing food, wood or hides. The rounded slopes and the sharp tip make the knife a practical helper in field work, hunting or tourism.
Wear resistance and durability: Thanks to the S390, the blade demonstrates extreme resistance to discoloration and abrasion, allowing it to be used for small household, hiking, hunting or tactical tasks without fear of premature blunting.
Scope of application and operational features
- Tourism, bushcraft — ideal for cutting food, planing, skinning, cooking firewood, precision work.
- Hunting — suitable for primary cutting, due to the thin, sharp edge, but not for heavy cutting of bones.
- A classic gift and collectible knife, the aesthetics and historical image of the "NKVD Finks" make this a creation for connoisseurs of tradition.
- Everyday tasks — thanks to the durable blade and handle, it can be a reliable companion on any expedition or journey.
Restrictions: It is not recommended to use for heavy work on bones, metal, stone or other hard materials — the high hardness of the steel makes the blade sensitive to lateral loads and impacts (the cutting edge may chip if used improperly). Sharpening requires experience and specialized abrasives. It is not intended for heavy chopping work (for example, cutting through thick branches).
