Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: Forged 95X18 (HRC 58) is one of the best domestic high—alloy corrosion-resistant alloys, which has long proven itself in the production of working knives. The hardness level of HRC 58 indicates an excellent balance between excellent wear resistance and the ability to sharpen in field conditions. 95X18 steel is practically not afraid of moisture, it is resistant to most corrosive influences — you can use the knife even in conditions of constant dampness, without fear of rust with minimal maintenance. The forged design guarantees additional durability of the cutting edge and the entire tool.
Blade shape and dimensions — a chopper with a wide (100 mm) and massive blade 190 mm long and 5 mm thick, ideal for heavy forestry and household work. This geometry allows efficient chopping, chopping and roughing operations where a safety margin and a wide working surface are required. This form is in demand in woodwork, camping cooking, firewood preparation, and even carcass hunting.
The birch bark handle is a natural material with excellent ergonomic properties: it is warm to the touch, does not slip even in a wet hand and adapts quickly to the palm. Birch bark reduces fatigue during prolonged grip, which is especially important during heavy work. The classic handle length (180 mm) is universal for most users.
The leather scabbard ensures long-term storage and safe wearing, emphasizing the tradition and aesthetics of the handmade product.
Optimal applications
Tourism and survival: The chopper performs well in camping, hunting, and forest hiking — where a lot of chopping/chopping operations are required and contact with moisture is inevitable.
