Technical analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: X12MF
The blade is made of tool steel X12MF, one of the best Russian steels for cutting tools. It has a high hardness (61-62 HRC), which ensures long-term retention of the cutting edge and excellent wear resistance. This steel is resistant to mechanical stress and discoloration, but requires careful care, since its corrosion resistance is moderate: the knife is not recommended for use in a humid environment without subsequent wiping and lubrication of the blade.
Handle Material: Black Hornbeam
The handle is made of black hornbeam, a wood highly prized for its durability, wear resistance and pleasant—to-touch texture. Hornbeam does not crumble or swell when humidity changes, which ensures a stable fit in the hand even with prolonged use. The black hornbeam harmoniously complements the aesthetic value of the knife, giving it a classic and noble look.
Blade Shape: Drop Point
Drop Point is one of the most versatile and safe blade shapes. It provides good handling of the tip, high butt strength and allows you to perform not only cuts, but also precise punctures. The optimal width (20 mm) and thickness (2.4 mm) ensure a balance between penetration and reliability.
Dimensions and construction
The total length of the knife when unfolded is 235 mm (blade 105 mm, handle 130 mm). This size makes the knife convenient for everyday use, hiking and hunting. The compact and foldable design allows you to always have a knife at hand without discomfort.
Durability and care
Due to the hardness of X12MF and the structure of hornbeam wood, the knife perfectly tolerates intensive use. However, when working with products and in a humid environment, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry immediately to avoid corrosion. To maintain sharpness, careful sharpening on professional stones will be required — X12MF steel holds sharpening well, but requires some skill to restore it.
Knife features
- Firm grip. The ergonomic hornbeam handle guarantees control even with wet hands.
- Handmade. Each piece is unique, which is important for connoisseurs of exclusive products.
- The leather scabbard included in the package emphasizes the premium quality of the product and provides stylish storage.
Optimal applications and limitations
Ideal for:
- Daily Wear (EDC)
- Tourism, hiking, trips to nature
- Hunting (trophy cutting and preparation, minor equipment repairs)
- Handmade lovers and collectors
Restrictions:
- It is not recommended for long-term work on bones or very hard materials: the cutting edge may chip.
- It is not ideal for water activities without taking care of drying and lubrication: steel is prone to corrosion during prolonged contact with moisture.
Care and maintenance
To maintain excellent cutting properties and external aesthetics, it is recommended:
- Wipe the blade dry after use.
- Keep the knife in a leather sheath only after it is completely dry.
- Lubricate the blade regularly with finishing oil (especially after contact with moisture or food).
- Sharpen on diamond/ceramic stones with angle control.
- Make sure that the handle is not in a wet or dirty condition for a long time — the wood is treated, but care will prolong its service life.
Conclusion and recommendations
A folding knife based on X12MF steel with a black hornbeam handle is a combination of high wear resistance and aesthetics, an ideal solution for connoisseurs of practical handwork. The knife is especially suitable for those who are looking for a versatile and durable tool for EDC, tourism and hunting, as well as those who value heritage materials. It is not recommended for intensive work on bones and for prolonged contact with moisture without care. With proper maintenance, the knife will last for many years, maintaining its sharpness and noble appearance.
