Detailed analysis of the characteristics and capabilities of the knife
Blade steel: Böhler K340, hardness 62 HRC
The kitchen knife is equipped with a blade made of Austrian tool steel K340, which has outstanding wear resistance and a hardness of 62 HRC. This indicator ensures long-term preservation of the cutting edge, even with intensive daily use in the kitchen. The K340 is renowned for its high abrasion resistance, allowing the blade to stay sharp longer without frequent sharpening. Due to its chemical composition (with a high content of chromium and vanadium), steel confidently resists corrosion, but requires timely care. It is not recommended to leave the knife wet for a long time or store it with acidic residues on the blade.
Handle material: Birch bark and black hornbeam
The combined handle is handmade from natural birch bark and noble black hornbeam. Birch bark is famous for its warm, pleasant texture, slip-resistant due to its slight roughness, and hornbeam gives the handle strength, durability and an elegant contrasting appearance. This combination fits perfectly in the palm of both dry and wet hands — the handle remains reliable even when working with wet products or hands for a long time.
Blade shape and parameters: Drop Point, length 165 mm, thickness 1.4 mm
The classic universal shape of the Drop Point is ideal for a chef's kitchen knife: the wide blade, smooth descent and slightly raised tip give full control over cutting, allowing you to slice both large and small products — from vegetables and meat to fish and herbs. The blade length of 165 mm provides sufficient working area, and the thickness of 1.4 mm is sufficient for precise, accurate "sliding" cuts and shredding. Due to the soft material and the quality of the steel, the knife easily handles most kitchen tasks and is not prone to chipping and deforming when used correctly.
Durability and maintenance
The unique combination of K340 steel and carefully calibrated hardening implies a minimum sharpening frequency with a stable sharp cut. Maintenance of the knife does not cause difficulties — the steel lends itself well to sharpening by professional and household means, and the surface of the blade is easily restored with preventive maintenance. The only condition is regular wiping and dry storage to fully unlock the corrosion resistance of K340. The handle made of birch bark and hornbeam is durable — sometimes it is enough to treat the surface with natural oil to maintain aesthetics and prevent drying out.
Other important features
The knife is equipped with a handmade leather sheath, which ensures safe storage and transportation of the product. Thanks to the combination of natural materials, the unique texture of birch bark and the deep hornbeam color, the knife looks statuesque and stands out against the background of mass-produced products. Handmade guarantees individuality — each piece has its own unique features.
Optimal applications and limitations
Recommended tasks and usage scenarios:
-
Daily work in the kitchen: slicing, chopping, cutting meat, fish, vegetables, herbs.
- Professional and home cooking is suitable for both experienced chefs and connoisseurs of handmade and aesthetics.
- Collecting thanks to the author's performance and premium materials.
- It is not designed for chopping bones, frozen food, or working with particularly hard materials — the thin blade and hardness of the K340 require delicate handling of excessive loads.
- It is not recommended to use outside the kitchen, for example, as a tourist, hunting, or tactical knife.
Unique advantages of the product
- Rare and high-grade K340 steel: long life of sharpness, minimal maintenance costs, resistance to corrosion and wear.
- Birch bark and black hornbeam handle: perfect ergonomics, pleasant tactility, reliable grip in all conditions.
- The perfect balance of length, width and blade shape for absolute control in the kitchen.
- Exclusive handmade — each knife is unique in appearance and tactile.
Care recommendations
- It is recommended to wash the knife by hand, wipe it dry immediately and store it in a sheath or on a magnetic stand.
- Avoid prolonged contact with acids and moisture — this will increase the service life of the blade.
- Periodically treat the handle with natural oil to preserve the color saturation and protect the wood.
- Sharpening is done on high—quality stones - steel easily accepts the point and holds it for a long time.
Brief recommendations
This knife will be the perfect choice for professional chefs and discerning amateurs who appreciate the long sharpness, aesthetics of natural materials and the uniqueness of the original product. It is ideal for everyday cuisine, creative gastronomic experiments, and will also become a worthy example in the collection. For those who like hiking or heavy work with bones and hard products, it is better to choose specialized tools. Knife care is simple, but requires regularity — these efforts are fully repaid by convenience, external expressiveness and exceptional cutting quality.
