One of the blades that have proven their effectiveness both in the kitchen and in natural extreme situations is the Scorpion knife.
Manufacturer - LLC PP “Kizlyar”
Today, knives made at this enterprise are very popular among consumers. They are especially appreciated by connoisseurs and lovers of edged weapons. Among the wide variety of different models of knives that Kizlyar produces, the Scorpion knife stands out for its undeniable advantages.
Design
In the manufacture of a knife, high-quality electrochemical etching is used. Using this procedure, various floral ornaments and the image of a scorpion characteristic of this model are applied to the blade. The shape of the blade itself is very similar to a sting. The company "Kizlyar" in the design of its logo used some elements of this knife.
Scorpion knife: product description
The total length of the product is 322 mm. A concave sharpening blade can be represented in two ways:
- a polished blade is processed using emery nozzles and pastes;
- dark blade.
Dark Blade Processing
The surface of a dark blade undergoes three procedures:
- slowness (the very first layer);
- white chromium plating (second layer);
- black chrome plating (third finishing layer).
The dark blade with the existing galvanic coating is characterized by high resistance to corrosion processes.
The Scorpion knife with a dark blade has a low light reflection coefficient, as a result of which glare is excluded during its operation. The applied anti-corrosion coating has one drawback - it is not resistant to abrasion. This must be taken into account during operation of the knife.
Parameters, form
Main parameters:
- blade length is 182 mm;
- thickness - 3.6 mm.
The shape of the blade is curved, on the concave bevel of the butt there is an additional sharpening, which is intended for cutting bones. In the butt section, a special file is intended for a similar purpose.
Knife “Scorpio” in its shape resembles a die, which rivets to the shank.
The kit assumes the presence of leather scabbard.
Handle Making
In the manufacture of handles for these knives, walnut is used. Wood undergoes processing, which is impregnation in a vacuum with linseed oil. A special compound and polymerization are also used to increase strength. As a result, walnut products acquire moisture resistance and hardness. Handles do not become unusable when in contact with water or as a result of a fall.
Any wood product requires care. Wooden handles of knives also require careful handling. You can cope with the task of caring for the handle of the knife yourself. To do this, it is enough to purchase Carnauba wax, which, if necessary, can easily rub the wooden surface of the product. This product is also suitable for furniture. Experienced knife owners do not recommend varnishing the handles.
Where is it used?
Knife "Scorpio" is intended for hunting. Since this blade is a melee weapon and belongs to the category of hunting license knives, the buyer must present the original permit for possession of hunting firearms for its purchase.
How to sharpen?
Any knife, depending on the characteristics of the steel, requires periodic sharpening. For this purpose, it is recommended to use a special grinding system, which can be used for both professional and home use. Such a system is the Scorpion knife sharpener. Compactness, accuracy and simplicity of design provide its reliability and ease of operation. The sharpener is designed for a ten-year life. The simplicity of the design allows, if necessary, to carry out repairs on their own, which mainly consists in the periodic replacement of parts that have exhausted their life. This device allows sharpening blades having any configuration.
Advantages of the Scorpion grinding system
The main advantages of the system:
- The design has a convenient system for mounting and turning the sharpened blades. The adaptive clamp used fixes the knife well without force clamping in the butt portion. This prevents possible damage to the blade or thread on the clamps.
- The simplicity of the design allows disassembly - assembly on their own, without using instructions.
- The system has a small weight (up to two kilograms) and compact dimensions, which makes it easy to transport unassembled.
- D16T duralumin and stainless steel are used to make the sharpener, which positively affects the stiffness, accuracy and durability of the product.
- Sliding nodes are characterized by a tolerance of 0.02 mm and the absence of backlash.
- A square tube made of aluminum is used as an abrasive. Emery of different grittiness is attached to its four sides with a thin cloth tape. They can sharpen a knife no worse than on a stone.
- The presence in the system of various options for fastening abrasives, fixing any types of forms or stones. This makes it possible to sharpen blades having a concave curvature of the cutting edge.
- The Scorpion knife sharpener also allows you to sharpen other cutting tools.
- Through the use of stainless steel and bronze, wear on the slip assembly is prevented.
- The design of the sharpener allows the fastening of round-shaped blanks necessary for sharpening knives having a concave curvature of the cutting edges.
