Blade steel — X12MF (hardness 61-62 HRC): X12MF is one of the most durable Russian—made alloy tool steels, characterized by outstanding resistance to wear and longevity of the cutting edge. Due to its high hardness (61-62 HRC), the knife retains its sharpness for a long time, perfectly copes with dense materials and confidently cuts wood, leather, and food, even after prolonged use. However, such a high hardness requires careful handling: it is better to avoid heavy lateral loads, work on bone or metal to prevent chipping.
Corrosion resistance:X12MF is moderately resistant to moisture — steel has low corrosion resistance, so the knife requires regular wiping and drying after contact with water and aggressive media. For reliable protection, it is recommended to periodically lubricate the blade with a thin layer of oil.
Handle material — Karelian birch: The traditional Karelian birch tree not only looks impressive, but also feels great in the hand due to its natural texture, which increases grip even in wet conditions. The Karelian birch handle is warm to the touch, does not slip even in wet palms, and is not afraid of light mechanical influences. But in order to preserve the color and durability of wood, periodic treatment with special oils or wax is required.
Dimensions: Blade length 110 mm, thickness 3 mm, width 25 mm. This size ensures versatility — the knife is suitable for both precise work (cleaning, thinning, slicing) and for more rough operations (kindling preparation, small-scale cutting work).
Leather sheath: Genuine leather reliably protects the knife during transportation and storage, provides quick access and additional protection from moisture.
