Blade steel — K340 (Böhler-Uddeholm): The Austrian K340 tool steel is known for its outstanding wear resistance, fracture strength and excellent cutting edge retention. The hardness of 62 HRC provides the blade with high resistance to bluntness and impressive cutting power even during intensive work. The steel has a high chromium content, which significantly increases corrosion resistance compared to classical carbon steels, but K340 is inferior to high—grade stainless steels under prolonged exposure to moisture.
Handle material — birch bark and black hornbeam: The combination of laminated birch bark and natural black hornbeam gives the handles not only an exquisite appearance, but also premium ergonomics. Birch bark is a warm, velvety material that perfectly absorbs moisture, provides a reliable grip even in wet conditions, and black hornbeam strengthens the handle structure, adding strength to it. This handle is resistant to cracking and tolerates temperature changes well, does not slip in the hand and guarantees confidence when working.
Blade Shape — Drop Point: The classic shape of the Drop Point provides versatility of use: the slightly lowered butt gives the tip additional strength, which is ideal for thinning, chopping, slicing and other kitchen tasks. The blade width of 25 mm and length of 120 mm are optimal for delicate work and precise operations in the kitchen.
Dimensions and balance: The 1.6 mm blade thickness guarantees excellent penetration and minimal cutting resistance, while the blade remains strong enough for complex culinary work. The handle length is 115 mm, designed for a comfortable grip with any hand size.

Advantages and conditions of optimal use
Restrictions and recommendations for use
- It is not recommended to use it for chopping bones, hard frozen foods and opening canned food.: The thin blade, designed for delicate work, can be damaged under extreme loads.
- With prolonged exposure to moisture: Although K340 has good corrosion resistance, it is recommended to avoid prolonged contact with water and always wipe the knife dry after washing.
- Requires proper maintenance of steel and wooden elements.: Timely sharpening and processing of the handle will ensure maximum service life.
Care recommendations
- It is recommended to wash the knife by hand, do not use a dishwasher.
- Occasionally treat the handle with natural oil to maintain its appearance and moisture resistance.
- For sharpening, you can use water stones or professional systems — thanks to the hardness of K340, the knife retains its sharpness for a long time, but requires careful sharpening when restoring the cutting edge.
- Store in a dry place, use a complete leather sheath for transportation or storage outside the kitchen.
