Detailed analysis of properties and features
The kit combines two unique knives — a folding knife and an all—metal Uzbek knife - both made of M390 powder steel, one of the best modern premium steels. This steel provides outstanding cutting edge resistance, high hardness at 62 HRC and excellent corrosion resistance even with regular contact with moisture and aggressive environments. The powder structure guarantees an even distribution of carbides, which further improves wear resistance and keeps the edge sharp even during intensive use.
The handle is made of textolite, a time—tested composite material that is lightweight, durable, and resistant to temperature and moisture changes. The textolite does not slip out of your hand even when wet, which is critical for hunting, fishing, tourism and kitchen tasks.
A blade with a trailing point shape is characterized by a curved butt line with a raised tip. This geometry is ideal for fine work, slicing, butchering meat, cooking and skinning animals. The 3 mm blade thickness provides a balance between strength and excellent cutting, allowing you to perform both delicate and moderate strength tasks.
The set comes in a leather sheath, which emphasizes the craft approach and protects the knives in carrying and storage.
Advantages and scope of application
Optimal tasks: Filigree cutting, outdoor and home cooking, butchering game and fish, skinning, hiking, EDC (daily wear) and collecting thanks to aesthetics and practicality.
Hand hold: The textolite handle fits well in the hand in any conditions — wet, cold, dirty — providing a reliable grip and safety at work.
Corrosion resistance: The M390 is known for its exceptional resistance to moisture, so the knife does not require frequent drying or lubrication, which is ideal in the field.
Wear resistance and durability:The hardness of 62 HRC and the structure of the steel guarantee a long service life and resistance to blunting even under heavy use.
Ease of maintenance: Despite its high hardness, the M390 holds its sharpening perfectly and does not require frequent straightening, however, it is recommended to use modern abrasives (diamonds, ceramics) for sharpening.
Aesthetics and practicality: The classic Uzbek shape of the pchak and the all-metal design reflect historical continuity, handmade makes each knife unique.
Limitations and nuances of the application
The shape of the trailing point is poorly suited for chopping bones, heavy impact work, and use as a tire iron or crowbar.
Despite all moisture resistance, it is recommended to avoid aggressive acidic environments in order to preserve the flawless appearance of the steel.
Powdered steel is more difficult to sharpen on household abrasives — a modern tool is needed.
The textolite is resistant to moisture, but cracks are possible under extreme impacts — it is not recommended to use it as a hammer or for batoning.
Brief recommendation and conclusion
This set is an ideal choice for connoisseurs of handmade, lovers of hiking, cooking and hunting, as well as collectors who appreciate quality and historical aesthetics. If you are looking for a durable, cutting knife that is not afraid of moisture and is easy to care for, this set will become an indispensable companion. For heavy bone work or strength tasks, it is better to choose a model with a different geometry.
Care recommendations: After use, rinse and wipe the knife dry, avoid prolonged soaking. Use diamond or ceramic tools for sharpening. Keep knives in a leather sheath in a place protected from moisture.
