Detailed analysis of the characteristics
Blade steel RWL-34 (hardness 64 HRC):
This premium powder alloy is a benchmark among modern knife steels. Due to its high carbon and molybdenum content, the RWL-34 combines extreme hardness (64 HRC), impressive cutting edge durability, and excellent wear resistance. Even with intensive use, the knife retains its razor sharpness for a long time and is resistant to burrs. Molybdenum and chromium in the composition provide high corrosion resistance — the blade is not afraid of moisture and does not rust with proper care.
Handle material and finish: acrylic (white/black with red star):
Acrylic is a modern composite material with unusual strength, complete moisture resistance and resistance to temperature fluctuations. The handle surface does not absorb moisture, is scratch-resistant and retains its original appearance even after prolonged use. Reliable fixation in the hand is ensured not only due to the shape and balance, but also due to smooth transitions between materials and the presence of a guard that prevents slipping.
Construction:
The knife is folding, equipped with a reliable lock (pin), which makes it safe for daily wear and use in various conditions. The guard additionally protects the fingers, and the bright stylistics (white acrylic, red star) emphasize individuality and historical aesthetics, referring to the legendary "finks" of the NKVD.
Blade shape: Clip-point:
This geometry is a classic of versatility. Due to the lowered butt line and the sharp "nose" part, the blade is ideal for precision work, piercing, filigree cutting and versatile tasks. The 2.4mm thickness and 100 mm length make it easy to control the blade, and the overall ergonomics make the knife an excellent choice for everyday jobs, urban and tourist tasks.
Scope of application and advantages
It is optimal for: daily wear (EDC), collecting, tourism, picnics, making an unusual gift or souvenir, urban and light hunting use.
It does an excellent job with precise cutting, opening packages, cooking outside the home, and various household tasks.
High resistance to wear and corrosion ensures durability even under heavy use.
The acrylic handle does not require complicated maintenance, is resistant to chemicals and dirt, and holds well in a dry and wet hand.
The Clip-point blade shape is a universal solution: it allows you to work on both small and relatively large materials.
The stylish design and historical reference make the knife the center of any collection or a memorable gift.
Limitations and Features
It is not designed for heavy power work: planing of hardwood, breaking of bones, batoning and similar loadings.
Due to its hardness (64 HRC), steel requires careful handling: avoid impact loads and lateral twisting to prevent chipping of the cutting edge.
The shape of the blade is not designed for heavy field work or butchering large game.
It is not recommended to use as the main tool for rough camping equipment or bushcraft.
Care recommendations
To maintain maximum corrosion resistance of the blade, it is sufficient to rinse and wipe dry after use, especially during prolonged contact with aggressive media (salt water, acids).
Sharpening of the RWL-34 requires high-quality abrasives (ceramics, diamond), but it is carried out infrequently — steel holds the edge for a long time.
It is enough to wipe the acrylic handle periodically with a soft, damp cloth; after contact with aggressive substances, rinse with water.
It is recommended to periodically treat the leather sheath with a special cream to preserve elasticity.
Brief conclusions and recommendations
This knife is the epitome of historical style in a modern design: an ideal choice for collectors, connoisseurs of handmade, urban and tourist scenarios. It is suitable for those who appreciate aesthetics and adaptability, are looking for a reliable universal EDC knife and focus on the quality of materials with minimal maintenance. It is not recommended for heavy field work and extreme bushcraft.
