The blade is made of premium S390 tool powder steel with a hardness of 70 HRC. This material is known for its exceptionally high wear resistance, the ability to keep sharpening for a long time even under intense loads, as well as its outstanding fracture strength and cutting edge. Due to the saturated content of tungsten, vanadium and cobalt, S390 steel provides unsurpassed durability and minimal loss of performance properties during prolonged use. It is important to note that the S390 requires careful maintenance to prevent corrosion.
The handle is made of micard, one of the most modern and practical materials. The micard is resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations, does not slip in wet or greasy hands, and the orange color makes the knife noticeable in nature and on the desktop.
The blade is 3 mm thick, 105 mm long and 28 mm wide, shaped in the classic pchak style — with a smooth rise of the butt to the tip and a pronounced ventral cutting edge line. This shape provides excellent cutting control, is suitable for complex cutting and filigree tasks, and is convenient for precise cutting and milling.
The handle length of 125 mm is optimal for most palms, and the anatomical shape ensures a secure grip in both the traditional and reverse positions.
Scope of application and advantages
It is excellent for working with meat, vegetables, fish — thanks to the classic shape of the bee, it is ideal for cooking, picnics, field trips and hunting.
It is ideal for tourist tasks: due to the combination of compact dimensions and high hardness, it cuts wood, food, cardboard, cords and leather.
It is especially good for collectors and connoisseurs of handmade — a unique combination of traditional design and modern materials.
The micard handle provides better knife control even in wet conditions and is resistant to aggressive environments.
The set includes a reliable sheath made of genuine leather, which emphasizes the status of the accessory and the convenience of carrying.
Limitations and important nuances
Due to its high hardness, S390 steel is more difficult to sharpen; a high-quality diamond or ceramic abrasive is required to restore its sharpness.
Despite its overall corrosion resistance, the S390 requires regular wiping and lubrication, especially after contact with acids, moisture, and high humidity conditions.
The shape of the pchak is not designed for heavy work on bones, chopping or prying — it is a knife for careful cutting, not a crowbar or an axe.
It is not recommended to use it for "breaking operations", opening canned food and other tasks beyond the scope of cutting functions.
Care recommendations
To maintain the perfect condition of the blade, clean and wipe it dry regularly, especially after contact with aggressive foods (fruits, fish, meat).
Periodically apply a thin layer of oil to protect against corrosion.
Sharpen only on specialized stones/abrasives, avoiding overheating of the cutting edge.
The micart does not require special care — regular washing and wiping is enough.
Conclusion and recommendations
This folding pocket is unique in its combination of elite S390 tool steel and a micard handle — the choice for those who appreciate durability, sharpness and aesthetic expressiveness. Its main advantages are manifested in the kitchen, in tourism, hunting, working with food and small materials. It is not recommended for heavy household tasks and "breaking point" work. It is optimal for connoisseurs of handmade, collectors and demanding users who value durability, vibrant style and authenticity.
