Detailed analysis of characteristics and properties
Blade steel: X12MF
The blade is made of tool steel X12MF with a hardness of 61-62 HRC. This steel is characterized by outstanding wear resistance and retains its cutting edge even during intensive use. Due to its high chromium content, steel has a pronounced resistance to corrosion, which is important for knives used outdoors and in changeable weather conditions. However, like most tool steels, X12MF requires regular maintenance: wiping and drying after contact with moisture to completely avoid the appearance of stains.
Handle material: Acrylic and Karelian birch
The handle is made of a harmonious combination of natural Karelian birch and premium acrylic. Karelian birch provides pleasant tactile sensations, warmth in the hand and has a high aesthetic value due to its unique natural pattern. The acrylic segment adds moisture resistance and dirt resistance, and the white color makes the knife a striking accessory. The combination of these materials guarantees a secure grip even in wet conditions, while the handle fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and does not slip.
Shape, dimensions and balancing
The 120 mm long and 3 mm thick blade is a universal solution for most household and tourist tasks. With a width of 28 mm, the blade provides excellent cutting control, allowing you to perform both precision work and more coarse tasks such as cutting food or small craft work. The handle length (120 mm) is optimal for most palms, and the correct weight distribution makes the knife comfortable for long-term use without arm fatigue.
Corrosion resistance and wear resistance
Due to the characteristics of the X12MF steel, the knife perfectly resists chipping, retains its sharpness for a long time and is generally extremely unpretentious in operation. However, for maximum service life, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry after use and periodically lubricate it with oil.
Ease of maintenance
The blade is easy to sharpen: although X12MF steel is hard, it restores sharpness quickly with the right tool (high-quality abrasive, diamond stone). The handle made of acrylic and Karelian birch does not require complicated maintenance — it is enough to wipe with a damp cloth and periodically treat the wooden parts with oil or special wax.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
Optimal tasks:A versatile camping, camping, or household knife, great for slicing, butchering, small craft jobs, light woodwork, and picnic tasks. It is convenient for field kitchen tasks and outdoor work due to the combination of a sharply sharpened edge and a reliable handle.
Advantages:high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, premium handle materials, hand assembly, reliable grip even with wet hands, spectacular appearance thanks to the combination of white acrylic and textured Karelian birch.
Limitations: is not intended for heavy work requiring increased fracture strength, such as chopping bones or batoning thick branches. Also, because of the bright white handle, the knife may be less convenient for concealed carry on hunting.
Unique features and exclusivity
The unique combination of acrylic and Karelian birch emphasizes the individuality of the product: each knife has its own unique handle pattern. White acrylic not only adds aesthetics, but also increases moisture resistance and ease of care. Steel X12MF is the choice of professionals who value durability and minimal maintenance costs.
Care recommendations
Wipe the blade and handle dry after each use.
Periodically apply protective oil to steel surfaces, especially after contact with food or moisture.
Karelian birch parts are sometimes treated with specialized wax or oil for wood.
Keep the knife in a leather sheath in dry conditions — they provide additional protection during transportation.

For a home or camping kitchen, as well as as a spectacular gift to a connoisseur of high-quality things, this knife will become a truly useful and stylish tool. It is not recommended for heavy power work and professional big game hunting.
