S390 powder steel blade (HRC 70): S390 is a modern high—alloy powder steel of premium class. It is distinguished by extremely high hardness (up to 70 HRC) and outstanding wear resistance: the knife retains its sharpness for a long time even with intensive use, which is especially important in the field or professional conditions. The S390 is virtually resistant to micro—chips when used correctly and demonstrates excellent abrasion resistance - you gain confidence in cutting even on aggressive materials. At the same time, due to the high content of tungsten and vanadium, steel is resistant to corrosion, but still requires basic care, especially during prolonged contact with moisture.
Karelian birch handle (green): Exclusive Karelian birch linings not only look spectacular (the pattern is unique for each knife), but also provide excellent ergonomics. The material is βwarm" and pleasant to the touch, the handle is comfortably held in both dry and wet palms. The porous structure of the wood with high-quality impregnation prevents slipping, providing control even when working in field conditions. Karelian birch has good resistance to household moisture, but requires the exclusion of prolonged contact with water and periodic oil treatment to preserve its luxurious appearance and structure.
Dimensions and construction: The optimal blade length of 105 mm with a width of 28 mm and a thickness of 3 mm ensures the versatility of the knife — it is sufficient for most household, tourist and even hunting tasks, while maintaining compactness and ease of carrying. The handle length of 125 mm fits most palms, locking the knife in your hand even during difficult maneuvers.
