Precise analysis of materials and construction
The Blade: It is made of S390 high-speed powder steel. This steel belongs to the elite of tool steels and is famous for its extremely high hardness (70 HRC), outstanding wear resistance and the ability to maintain the sharpness of the cutting edge for a long time. The S390 contains a large amount of tungsten, vanadium and cobalt, which provides not only aggressive cutting, but also high resistance to bluntness even when working with hard and abrasive materials. The blade thickness of 3 mm and the length of 105 mm ensure a balance between the strength and maneuverability of the knife.
The handle:It is made of natural wenge, one of the most valuable African wood species, which is known for its density, moisture resistance and incredible wear resistance. The wenge texture provides excellent grip even in a wet hand, and also gives the handle a premium look. The 125 mm handle length is optimized for a secure grip in both classic and power grips.
The scabbard: Genuine leather — reliably protects the knife when carrying, emphasizes the handmade status and attention to detail.
Blade shape:The classic pchak is a blade with a pronounced belly and a smooth curve of the cutting edge, perfect for cleaning, slicing and thinning products. This form has historically established itself in Central Asian cuisine and everyday life as a universal one, but with a gentle emphasis on working on products.
Optimal application area and advantages
The knife will be great for thinly slicing meat, fish, vegetables, cutting food in camping and at home, and is also appreciated in cooking and tourism. The S390 allows you to work with hard and fibrous products without fear of rapid bluntness. Natural wenge does not slip even in wet palms or in cold weather, maintaining grip comfort in all conditions.
- High wear resistance:Even with intensive use, the knife remains sharp for a long time.
- Fracture strength:With the thickness of the blade and the steel structure, the knife can withstand significant loads perfectly.
- Corrosion resistance:The S390 resists rust well, but requires minimal maintenance — wipe the blade dry after use and do not store it in a humid environment for a long time.
- Aesthetics and comfort:Wenge and leather emphasize uniqueness and handwork, creating a sense of individual product.
- Ease of maintenance:Due to the high hardness, the knife will need to be sharpened less often, however, it is recommended to use diamond or ceramic stones for service sharpening.
Limitations and less suitable scenarios
-
It is not intended for planing hard materials, chopping bones, opening canned food and other power work related to bending the blade — high hardness and fine reduction make the blade vulnerable to chipping under such loads.
- It is not recommended for use in seawater and long—term storage in a humid environment without proper care - despite its stability, S390 steel is not completely stainless.
- For field work requiring high pressure, it is worth choosing knives with lower hardness and a different blade shape.
Unique features and historical context
The combination of the classic shape of the knife, respected for its versatility since ancient times, with modern premium materials gives the knife not only great practical value, but also aesthetic appeal for collectors and connoisseurs of handmade. Each knife is unique due to its individual wenge texture and hand-finished steel.
Brief recommendations and tips for care
This knife is ideal for gourmets, professional chefs, tourism enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate premium materials, handwork and outstanding cutting qualities. It is not suitable for heavy work on wood, bones or metal.
For long service life, it is recommended to wipe the blade regularly after use, avoid exposure to strong reagents, and store the knife in a dry leather sheath. For sharpening, use specialized stones for hard steels.
