Technical analysis of properties and structural features
Blade Steel – X12MF: X12MF is a tool alloy steel known for its high hardness (61-62 HRC) and excellent wear resistance. Due to the chromium and molybdenum content, this steel exhibits outstanding abrasion resistance, holds excellent sharpening and demonstrates strong resistance to aggressive environments, which is critical for active use in nature, at home and even during heavy industrial use. At the same time, this steel requires a little more attention to dirt and moisture: it is less corrosion resistant than its stainless counterparts, so regular drying and processing of the blade are necessary to preserve its appearance and performance.
Handle – G10 red and black: G10 is a modern composite material with enviable strength, minimal water absorption and excellent resistance to mechanical and chemical influences. Laminate G10 does not deform and does not swell even with prolonged contact with moisture, is not afraid of sudden temperature changes and shock loads. The relief and shape of the handle help to hold the knife securely in any situation, and the unique red and black coloring gives the product a recognizable, spectacular look.
The shape of the blade is a dirk: The blade of the cortical type is distinguished by a straight double-edged profile with a symmetrical tip. This shape is designed for excellent piercing and cutting tasks, provides excellent penetration and allows you to work confidently with both precise injections and extended cuts. The guard reliably protects the hand from slipping onto the blade during dynamic operation. The blade thickness of 2.4 mm and the length of 100 mm make this knife versatile enough for a variety of household and field tasks.
Optimal application and operational features
What it is especially good for: The cutlass shape of the blade makes the knife an ideal choice for precise stabbing movements, filigree work with skin, fabrics and food, as well as for tasks where penetration and minimal resistance to pricking and cutting are required. Such a knife will be indispensable in hiking, camping, hunting, and will also become a striking example in the collection of connoisseurs of the historical style and aesthetics of Soviet cutlasses.
Grip convenience:The G10 guarantees an excellent grip in both dry and wet hands; the textured material prevents slipping even in rain or wet conditions, and the anatomical shape of the handle plus the guard further increases safety and comfort when working.
Moisture resistance and wear resistance: The G10 handle is completely resistant to moisture, does not fade, does not warp and is not afraid of household detergents. The blade made of X12MF perfectly holds sharpening and withstands prolonged loads, but requires regular preventive cleaning and drying to protect against corrosion.
Ease of maintenance: Sharpening a blade made of X12MF requires the use of high-hardness abrasives, but due to its high wear resistance, the knife retains its sharpness longer than most analogues. To maintain perfect condition, it is enough to periodically clean and lubricate the blade, especially after working in a humid environment.
Limitations and scope of inappropriate use
What is not suitable for: A cutlass profile is not the best choice for powerful cutting, opening hard containers, planing wood, or performing heavy household chores that require a thick, massive blade. It is also not recommended to use the knife as a tire iron or for opening metal cans.
Due to the high hardness and profile of the blade, it is not recommended for cutting bones and impact work on hard materials (risk of chipping and damage to the cutting edge).
Unique advantages and aesthetics of the product
The knife is the embodiment of the classic traditions of cutlass shapes with a touch of the historical style of the USSR, artfully executed by hand. The red and black G10 handle emphasizes individuality and a modern approach to the classics. The leather scabbard and high-quality finish add status to the product, turning it not only into a working tool, but also into a collector's item.
Recommendations for care and selection
For a professional collector, tourist, hunter or lover of historical knives, this knife is an excellent choice due to its combination of aesthetics, traditions and modern materials. It is ideal for fine work where precision and control are important, and will become a bright accent in any collection. It is not recommended for heavy work where impact loads on hard materials are possible.
Care recommendations: Clean the blade regularly from dirt and moisture, dry it and lubricate it with oil after each use. Store the knife in dry conditions to avoid corrosion on the X12MF steel. The G10 handle does not require special care, it is enough to periodically wipe it with a damp cloth.
The result: This knife is the choice for connoisseurs of high—quality handmade products, historical design and high performance characteristics. For collectors, tourists and hunters who value precision, aesthetics and reliability, the ensemble of properties will be especially in demand.
