Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: K340 (Böhler-Uddeholm)
High—alloy tool steel K340 is the choice of professionals for premium knives due to its excellent balance of hardness (62 HRC), wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Due to the content of vanadium, molybdenum and chromium, steel is practically not inferior to elite powder steels, demonstrating a long service life of sharpening even during intensive work in the kitchen. The K340 does an excellent job with hard foods, and is also not prone to chipping under accidental loads. Good corrosion resistance makes the knife suitable for working with juicy, acidic foods (citrus fruits, tomatoes, etc.), but like any semi-stainless steel, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry after use and not leave it in a humid environment for a long time to completely eliminate the appearance of stains.
Handle material: Birch bark and black hornbeam
The combination of birch bark and black hornbeam is not only aesthetic and a tribute to handmade traditions, but also practical. Birch bark is light, has a pleasant texture to the touch and is absolutely environmentally friendly, it does not slip even in a wet palm. Black hornbeam, on the contrary, gives the structure additional density, resistance to mechanical influences and emphasizes the premium quality of the knife. This symbiosis of materials guarantees a secure grip in all conditions, whether it's wet hands, intensive chopping or prolonged work in the kitchen.
Blade Shape: Trailing Point
The perfect form for culinary creativity! The slightly raised butt line and the sharp, curved tip make it easy to perform precise cutting, thinning, and chopping of greens, vegetables, and meat. With a blade length of 212 mm and a thickness of 1.4 mm, the knife combines excellent handling and penetration, does not split delicate products and is perfect for large workpieces.
Other features
The knife is equipped with a leather sheath — additional protection during storage and carrying, which is especially important for collectors or those who store the tool outside the kitchen counter. The entire assembly is handmade, which makes the knife unique, and each piece is slightly different from the others.

Care recommendations
