Adaptability and design features
The blade is made of high—alloy tool steel X12MF, an alloy that has earned recognition among experienced hunters, tourists and collectors due to its exceptional hardness (61-62 HRC) and impressive wear resistance. The butt is 3.5 mm thick and 130 mm long with a width of 25 mm, giving the knife sufficient strength to confidently solve most field and household tasks.
The unique Yakut blade shape is not only a part of the historical heritage of the northern peoples, but also a practical feature that has been proven for centuries. The single-sided lenticular sharpening and characteristic chisel ensure easy penetration into the material, minimizing resistance and providing cutting control. This blade is equally good at tasks such as cutting fish and meat, wood processing, skinning, precision work and everyday cutting operations.
Advantages and application scenarios
- is ideal for:hunting, fishing, tourism, camping, camping, woodwork, traditional crafts and collecting.
- Resistance to wear and stress:The hardness of 61-62 HRC ensures excellent retention of the cutting edge even during intensive use, reducing the frequency of sharpening and the risk of jamming.
- Corrosion resistance:The X12MF confidently resists moisture and corrosion with regular maintenance, which is especially valuable when using the knife in field and wet conditions.
- Easy care: with proper attention to cleaning and lubrication, the blade retains its properties for many years. Steel requires timely drying and a minimum layer of oil after use.
- Hand grip: the shape and balance are characteristic of Yakut knives — they provide a secure grip with gloves and bare hands, both when working on food and wood.
Limitations and important nuances
-
It is not intended for rough scrap applications such as cutting bones, metal, heavy impact loads, and opening metal cans.
- It requires care when sharpening: hard steel is less tolerant of erroneous sharpening with cheap abrasives — it is better to use high-quality stones with small grain or professional equipment.
- Due to one-sided sharpening, an unaccustomed user may need to get used to the cutting technique.
- When exposed to a humid environment for a long time, monitoring and timely drying are necessary to prevent corrosion.
Care recommendations
To preserve the properties of X12MF steel, we recommend cleaning and thoroughly wiping the knife after each use, if necessary, applying a thin layer of oil to the blade. Do not leave the knife in a damp sheath or damp environment for a long time. When sharpening, use abrasives designed for hard high-speed steels, avoid excessive pressure and sharp mechanical impacts on the cutting edge.
Conclusion and recommendations
This knife is an excellent choice for handmade connoisseurs, hunters, fishermen, tourists and those who are looking for a reliable tool for all types of camping and household cutting. The Yakut geometry of the blade makes it indispensable for woodwork, fish cutting and traditional handicraft tasks. It is not recommended for heavy work on hard materials and for those who are not ready to devote time to the care of high-carbon steel. For collectors and lovers of ethnic products, this is a real find, combining time—tested technologies and the spirit of the North.
