I am satisfied with the purchase. I notched the blade at the thumb rest to hold it more securely and avoid slipping. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the guard is sharp, so I also filed it down to reduce this. In my piece, I see minor details that could be improved, like one of the handle scales being slightly longer, but it's not a problem. The sheath is very well made, although I would have preferred Kydex, but unfortunately there's no option. Both blade and handle are immediately protected with Pruciak. I think it's worth its price, especially when on sale. Let's support Polish products!
Bushcraft knife featuring a drop-point blade profile. Crafted from premium 80CrV2 carbon steel (NCV1) with a hardness of 59-60 HRC, the blade ensures excellent impact resistance and outstanding wear resistance due to its high hardness level.
Equipped with a flat grind, the blade excels at slicing, planing, and chopping wood. A cross guard at the base of the blade, known as the jelec, ensures enhanced hand safety by preventing slippage during use.
Ergonomic handle made from ash wood with an attractive grain, secured by black screws. Supplied with a sheath made from black cowhide leather with visible stitching. A belt loop at the end provides convenient attachment to a belt.

Excellent balance between price and quality. Very handy, sturdy piece of blade. Works great for forest use. The screw-on handle is a good idea—you can make your own or improve the original one. I highly recommend it.

A very nice, small, and handy outdoor knife - on one hand, it looks like someone was learning how to make knives with it (the rough finishing aesthetics don't matter to me) and is definitely for simplicity enthusiasts; on the other hand, it's comfortable, sharp, and comes with a very nice and solid sheath included. I deduct one star for the "guard," which is so sharply angled that you could cut yourself with it as with the blade. I simply file it down. For this price, I’m happy to have a sturdy little knife that I can use in the bushes without feeling bad about it. And it's nice that it was made by someone from our sad country.
