Technical and aesthetic analysis of properties and features
The Blade: The knife is made of cannonball steel from the Great Patriotic War, which not only gives it exceptional historical value, but also guarantees the reliability of the time-tested material in the harshest conditions. The hardness of the blade is 60 HRC, which is the optimal indicator for long—term preservation of the cutting edge, resistance to discoloration and abrasion. The blade thickness of 2.4 mm and the length of 145 mm make the knife a versatile tool suitable for both cutting and piercing operations of medium complexity. The 20 mm wide blade provides a balance between maneuverability and resistance to deformation.
The handle:The use of moose horn not only emphasizes uniqueness and handiwork, but also provides an excellent grip in all conditions — the material does not slip even in a wet hand and does not absorb moisture, and thanks to scrimshaw, the handle becomes a real work of art. The handle length of 130 mm guarantees comfort and confidence when holding the knife both with gloves and bare hands. The guard protects the fingers when performing power work, increasing the safety of operation.
The scabbard:Molded genuine leather scabbard securely locks the knife, protects the blade from external influences and promotes easy and safe wearing.
Wear resistance and care: The steel of cannonballs contains a high percentage of carbon, which provides excellent wear resistance and strength, but the material requires timely care — regular drying and oil treatment to prevent corrosion. Sharpening will not cause difficulties for an experienced user, and high hardness will allow you to keep a sharp blade for a long time even during intensive use.
Historical heritage: Each knife is not only functional, but also a contribution to the memory of heroism and history. This knife will become an ornament of any collection, a source of pride and a family heirloom.
