Sturdy
Description
A high-end field knife from the Berezhny brothers forge. High flat grind. Blade material: Uddeholm Vancron powder metallurgy steel hardened to 63 HRC. Handle made of stabilized "spalted" birch. Usually, when making handles from Karelian birch, one simply looks for pieces of wood with an interesting grain. With "spalted" handles, the technology is slightly different. The manufacturer - and in this specific case, the Berezhny brothers make both the handle and the blade - finds the wood, cuts it into appropriate blocks, and then intentionally infects them with a species of parasitic fungus that gives a unique, original look, and only after that subjects the block to the stabilization process. The handle has one mosaic pin and one lanyard pin, also decorative, on the pommel. Brown, slip-in leather sheath, Finnish type. An exquisite bolster made in the Japanese mokume-gane technique, in which different metals - in this specific case, copper and nickel - are combined to create a decorative pattern.
