Description

Hand-forged knife made of 9XC tool steel. This steel is used to manufacture metalworking tools such as drills and milling cutters. 9XC is a Russian designation. The number 9 means that the steel contains 0.9% carbon. The letters (obviously in the Cyrillic alphabet) "X" and "C" denote chromium (Cr) and silicon (Si) respectively, of which there is not less than 1.5%. Knives and axes made of this steel appeared on the Russian market relatively recently. These are always forged products; they are not produced by stamping or rolling. To emphasize this, manufacturers almost always leave forging marks on the blades. Knives are hardened to 60-62 HRC, axes to 55-57 HRC.

Wooden handle made of black hornbeam, finished on both sides with nickel silver castings: bolster and pommel with a loop for a lanyard or wrist strap. Bladedrop pointwith a minimal drop below the spine line, cutting edge typerecurve(wave-shaped). Leather sheath, push-in type, Finnish style.
