Blade steel: X12MF is a well—known tool steel with a high content of carbon and chromium. It demonstrates exceptional hardness (61-62 HRC), which means excellent wear resistance: such a knife retains the sharpness of the cutting edge for a long time, withstands prolonged work on wood, hides and even bones. The X12MF resists abrasive wear and mechanical stress well, which makes the product a reliable helper in difficult conditions. However, despite its good resistance to moisture due to chromium, steel requires basic maintenance: after use, it is advisable to wipe and store the knife dry to prevent corrosion.
Blade shape: The Yakut is a traditional shape that comes from the heritage of the peoples of the North, ideal for woodwork, cutting fish and meat, and household tasks in the tundra or taiga. The single-sided lens-sharpening blade provides powerful cutting, a clean cut and easy penetration even into dense materials. This geometry has proven itself well in planing and precise household operations, where confident, precise work is needed.
Blade thickness: 2.6 mm — this parameter combines strength and versatility, allowing it to withstand not only precise, but also power loads, while the knife does not become too heavy or rough for delicate tasks.
Handle material: no information is provided, however, natural materials (birch bark, wood, horn) are traditionally used for such knives, providing a comfortable grip with both bare hands and gloves, which is critically important in the cold climate and dampness of the north.
The scabbard:made of genuine leather, which guarantees reliable protection of the blade, durability, easy carrying and stylish appearance, consistent with the spirit of handmade.
