Khanty Hunting Knife "Ostyak"

knife with history

Siberian ethnic knives of the Khanty and Mansi peoples have a unique history. Like our ancestors, we use the most valuable material, kap, in the production process. Anyone who owns a knife will enjoy all the power and beauty of a hunting item.

The most versatile knife in the world.

This tool is useful not only in the material world, but also in the subtle world...

It is prepared not only for delicate work, but also for extreme use, whether it is slaughtering an animal, building a house or alerting traps and bastards.

Such a knife is available in many hilt types, and at the same time, it will not chafe or dull the hand, as it does not have finger guards or finger recesses. It is a kind of multifunctional tool.

The narrow blade has good penetrating power and maneuverability when slaughtering an animal in the joints.

"... The universal qualities of a hunting knife are determined primarily by its effectiveness in performing a variety of types of work in the process of hunting a particular game, in other words, by its versatility"

Of course, this versatility is relative and is a rather average combination of characteristics inherent in knives of various types and sizes. For most types of hunting in the natural conditions of the north with its vast expanses of forests, according to a number of experts, a medium-sized knife with a narrow blade and a large handle is universal.

Each knife is unique, due to the natural pattern of the birch burl used on the handle! Created on the basis of the traditional Khanty, Mansi and Forest Nenets knife. The knives are handmade by Khanty and Mansi artisans. An indispensable assistant for hunting, fishing and everyday life!
