Main advantages
✅ Extremely high corrosion resistance
Due to the chromium content of 20%, this knife is resistant to both moisture and acidic environments.
✅ Long sharpness retention
Due to its high carbon and vanadium content, the steel retains its sharpness significantly longer than most other stainless steels.
✅ Unique handle
Stabilized Karelian birch with a mammoth tooth inlay and Makume bolster give each knife a unique character — no two are the same.
✅ Professional hardening
The heat treatment performed by Alan Balikoev guarantees the maximum balance of steel hardness, wear resistance and elasticity.
✅ Universal slopes
Straight slopes from the shoulder ensure good cutting properties, ease of control and easy maintenance.
Summary
This is not only a functional tool, but also a unique collector's item that combines the most advanced powder steel, professional hardening, and exquisite handmade aesthetics.
