Actual analysis of properties and characteristics
- Blade steel – H12MF: This type of tool steel is famous for its outstanding wear resistance due to its high chromium and molybdenum content. The hardness of the blade 61-62 HRC ensures long-term preservation of the cutting edge and durability, allowing the knife to withstand prolonged operation without additional sharpening. However, the X12MF requires careful maintenance, especially in conditions of high humidity – the steel is well protected from wear, but does not belong to absolutely stainless alloys, so it is recommended to wipe the blade after contact with moisture and store it in a dry place.
- The shape of the blade is a dirk: The aesthetically elongated, narrow shape with symmetrical sharpening is typical of cutlasses, which have historically been used for thrusting, punching, and precision work. This geometry is ideal for accurate punctures, laying out and scalping small objects. The tip easily penetrates the material, however, due to the relatively thin cross-section, the blade is poorly adapted to cutting or heavy force loads.
- The handle is white acrylic:The acrylic material is distinguished not only by its aesthetic purity and modern conciseness (the white color perfectly matches the polished blade and nickel–plated guard), but also by its hygiene - it does not absorb moisture and is easy to clean. The shape of the handle with a guard ensures a secure hold of the knife in the hand, minimizing the risk of slipping during piercing work. However, the surface of acrylic is more slippery than wood or composites and may be less comfortable when working with wet hands or gloves.
- Dimensions and balance:Blade length – 100 mm, thickness – 2.4 mm, width – 18 mm. The optimal combination of compactness and functionality, which makes the knife convenient to carry every day as an EDC tool. The handle length is 130 mm, which guarantees a secure grip.
- Scabbard – leather:The classic leather scabbard neatly complements the overall look, ensuring safe and secure storage of the knife.
- Lock type: There is no information, it should be taken into account when choosing the scope of application.
Scope and possibilities
- Optimal: Collecting (authentic historical design gives the knife a collectible appeal), precision work, opening packages, elements of tourism and fishing as an auxiliary tool, use as a stylish gift.
- In the hand: Due to the presence of a guard and the shape of the handle, the knife holds well with precise, directional movements. The surface of the acrylic is smooth — we recommend caution when working with wet or slippery hands.
- Moisture resistance and corrosion resistance:X12MF is quite resistant to corrosion, but requires wiping after use in humid conditions. Acrylic is not afraid of moisture, is not subject to deformation.
- Wear resistance and durability: The high wear resistance of the blade is one of the main advantages, steel keeps sharpening for a long time, does not crumble or crumple during normal operation.
- Service:Due to the high hardness, sharpening may require a little more time on abrasives, but it is rarely necessary. Care is limited to timely cleaning, purging of the locking assemblies (if any) and oil treatment of the surface.
Limitations and important nuances
- Unsuitable for: Strength tasks, rough chopping on hard materials, bone cutting, etc. – the blade is not designed for such loads due to the cutlass structure and the average thickness of the butt.
- Use in humid and aggressive environments:Requires care: X12MF steel needs to be wiped and stored in a dry case after prolonged contact with moisture or an aggressive environment.
Brief advice and care
This knife is the choice for connoisseurs of laconic aesthetics and precise workmanship, collectors and lovers of stylish accessories. It is suitable for use in everyday tasks, tourism and as a gift, but it is not intended for heavy hiking and power loads. Care: wipe the blade and mechanism after work, store in dry conditions, regularly update the sharpening on fine-grained stones.
