Precise analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade Steel — Elmax (HRC 62): Elmax is a modern powder—coated tool steel recognized worldwide for its outstanding wear resistance, corrosion resistance and excellent hardness. The hardness of 62 HRC ensures exceptional cutting edge durability: the knife stays sharp longer even during active use, which is especially important in tourism, hunting and everyday tasks. Due to its high corrosion resistance, Elmax is excellent for use in humid conditions, is not afraid of accidental ingress of water or long-term storage in a leather sheath.
Handle — Karelian birch (amber): Karelian birch is known for its unique texture and noble aesthetics: each specimen is unique. This material is not only beautiful, but also practical — the treated birch provides a comfortable grip and secure hold in the hand, even if the palm is wet. The wood is additionally impregnated with protective compounds, which increases its moisture resistance. The ergonomic shape of the handle and its length of 125 mm are optimal for medium and large grip, minimizing fatigue during prolonged work.
Blade shape and parameters: The blade is of the Normal Blade type, length — 87 mm, width — 20 mm, thickness — 2.6 mm. This geometry is versatile: it perfectly copes with precise and delicate cuts, is suitable for planing, cutting, product work, as well as for performing minor technical tasks. The thickness of the blade is sufficient for light power work without the risk of fracture.
Mechanics and reliability: The flip—out mechanism provides lightning-fast opening with one hand, which is convenient for operational use in the field or at home. The lock is secure and prevents accidental folding of the blade.
Package contents: The natural leather sheath reliably protects the knife when carrying, guarantees long-term storage and convenience during transportation.
Optimal applications and limitations
Ideal for: hiking, hiking, hunting, fishing, picnics, urban EDC (everyday carry), grocery work, small household tasks and collecting.
Confident retention:The first fitting in the hand emphasizes the balanced design: the knife is securely fixed in the palm of the hand and does not slip even with wet hands or gloves.
Moisture resistance and corrosion resistance:Thanks to Elmax steel and treated Karelian birch, the knife is resistant to moisture and is not afraid of corrosion, which makes it an excellent choice for outdoor use.
Wear resistance and durability: The high hardness of the blade ensures long-term sharpness and minimal wear, even with frequent use.
Ease of maintenance: Elmax sharpening is available with standard diamond or ceramic tools and does not require frequent maintenance due to its high edge resistance. It is enough to wipe the handle periodically with a dry soft cloth and avoid prolonged contact with aggressive chemicals.
Limitations: It is not suitable for heavy chopping, cutting bones, opening metal and plastic containers, heavy batoning and extreme power loads (for such tasks it is better to choose models with a larger thickness and a different blade profile). With strong transverse loads on the blade, there is a risk of damage due to its geometry and high hardness.
Unique differences compared to other knives
The use of premium Elmax powder steel (HRC 62) guarantees the highest wear resistance and anti-corrosion properties.
The exclusive handle made of amber Karelian birch is a combination of natural beauty, tradition and modern craftsmanship.
The modern flip—out mechanism ensures the comfort and speed of blade opening in any situation.
Handmade — each knife is unique, goes through an individual fit and careful quality control.
Care recommendations
After use, wipe the blade and handle dry, especially after contact with moisture, food, and aggressive media.
It is recommended to periodically lubricate the blade with neutral oil, and the handle with special wax or wood oil to preserve the structure and color.
Do not drop or expose to strong impacts.
Keep the knife in a leather sheath, avoid prolonged contact with moisture inside the sheath.
For sharpening, use a diamond or ceramic bar; sharpen carefully, observing the angle of descent.
Summary and recommendations
This knife is the choice for true connoisseurs of handmade, aesthetes, collectors, as well as those active in tourism and urban tasks: Elmax guarantees performance, and amber Karelian birch guarantees a unique personality. We especially recommend it to those who are looking for harmony between premium style, reliability and comfort in every detail. It is not suitable for heavy power work — it is optimal for delicate and versatile tasks of any level.
