Technical analysis and features of the knife
Blade steel: X12MF
The main material of the blade is tool steel X12MF, known for its high hardness (61-62 HRC), outstanding wear resistance and the ability to keep sharpness for a long time. This steel has excellent compressive strength and fatigue resistance, which is especially important for knives designed for intensive use. Due to the balanced chromium and molybdenum content, the X12MF blade has moderate corrosion resistance: it resists moisture well in normal field and household conditions, but is not recommended for prolonged contact with aggressive media (seawater, acids).
Handle: Micard (red + black)
The handle is made of micard, a composite material renowned for its durability, resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations and mechanical damage. Even in wet conditions, the micarta provides a secure grip and does not slip in the hand due to the microtexture of the surface. This significantly improves safety and control at work, especially in difficult weather conditions.
Dimensions and balance
The blade is 115 mm long and 2.8 mm thick, providing a universal balance between cutting and strength characteristics. The handle length of 125 mm fits most palms, making it easier to work for a long time without feeling tired. The blade width of 32 mm adds stability under transverse loads and provides additional safety for the fingers.
Scabbard: leather
The knife is equipped with a strict leather sheath — this is not only a handmade aesthetic, but also reliable storage and carrying of the knife in any conditions.
Optimal scope of application and tasks
This knife will perfectly prove itself in tourist trips, hunting, fishing, everyday life and as a universal helper for outdoor activities. The high hardness and wear resistance of steel allow it to be used for cutting meat, planing wood, working with products and performing complex household tasks in nature. Due to the strength of the blade, it can be used for moderate strength work, for example, cutting dense materials, but given its moderate corrosion resistance, prolonged contact with wet and aggressive environments is not recommended.
Thanks to the non-slip handle made of micard, the knife holds perfectly even in a wet hand, which is crucial for fishing, field culinary use or during rain.
Advantages of the knife
- High wear resistance and long service life of the cutting edge
- Excellent blade strength and hardness (61-62 HRC)
- Universal ergonomics and secure grip thanks to the micard
- Resistance of handle materials to moisture and mechanical damage
- Handmade and aesthetics of premium materials
- It is effective for tourism, hunting, fishing, household and field tasks
- Secure fixation in the hand even in adverse conditions
Restrictions and recommendations
- It is not recommended for prolonged exposure to salty or aggressive environments — despite the resistance of X12MF steel to moisture, it is not a full-fledged stainless steel. It is not designed for heavy batoning or cutting thick branches: the design and geometry are tailored for cutting and universal tasks, not for the role of an axe.
- Requires regular maintenance: after contact with moisture, be sure to wipe and lubricate with oil to prolong the service life of the steel.
- Sharpening is performed with standard abrasives for carbide steels, but due to the high hardness, the process may take a little longer, but the knife will require less re-cutting.
Conclusion and recommendations for care
If you value a combination of strength, durability, and premium aesthetics, this knife is a great choice for hiking, hunting, fishing, and serious household use. It is ideal for those who are used to relying on tools in all conditions and appreciate handmade work and durable materials.
Specific care: wipe the blade after use, keep away from prolonged contact with water and be sure to periodically lubricate the steel with neutral oil. The handle made of micard is practically maintenance-free, it is enough to rinse with water without aggressive chemicals.
This knife is less suitable for those who require an easy-to-maintain tool for extremely wet conditions or for heavy chopping work.
