Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: H12MF (hardness 61-62 HRC)
The knife is made of one of the most respected Russian tool steels — KH12MF. This steel is known for its outstanding wear resistance and excellent hardness (61-62 HRC), which ensures long-term preservation of cutting edge sharpness even during active use. Due to the high content of carbon and alloying elements, X12MF is resistant to abrasion and damage, which makes the knife an ideal tool for cutting hard and rigid materials.
Key aspect: steel X12MF is moderately resistant to corrosion — it is not afraid of short contact with moisture, but after interacting with water or aggressive media it requires rapid wiping and drying to avoid the appearance of rust. With proper care, the blade retains its flawless appearance for many years to come.
Handle: Bubinga
Environmentally friendly bubinga wood is not only strong and durable, but also an exceptionally beautiful material. The bubbling texture is famous for its rich warm color and expressive pattern. The wood is resistant to moisture and deformation, tolerates temperature changes well, ensuring a secure hold of the knife even in a wet hand. Thanks to the carefully crafted handle shape with a length of 125 mm, the knife fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and does not cause fatigue during prolonged use.
Shape, size and balance
The blade is 135 mm long and 2.4 mm thick. It is versatile: it copes well with cutting food and small household chores. The 36 mm blade width provides good cutting control and finger protection. The proportions of the knife are balanced for constant work: the shape is suitable for cutting, planing and thinning, and also performs well in tourist tasks and in nature.
Scabbard: Leather
The elegant classic genuine leather scabbard securely locks the knife, protects the blade from external influences and provides convenient transportation.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
- Optimal tasks:universal use in nature (tourism, hunting, fishing), processing of products in field conditions, small household, carpentry and handicraft work. Due to its durability and expressive aesthetics, the knife is also interesting as a handmade collector's item.
- Grip reliability:Anatomically adjusted bubbling handle ensures a firm grip in dry and wet hands; the knife does not slip even during intensive work.
- Resistance to moisture and corrosion:X12MF steel requires regular maintenance — after contact with moisture, it is necessary to wipe the blade dry and store it in dry conditions. The bubing handle is resistant to moisture, does not swell or crack.
- Wear resistance and durability:The high resource of steel makes it possible not to sharpen the knife for a long time, even under loads; the blade is not afraid of hard wood, bone and other dense materials.
- Ease of maintenance: despite its high hardness, X12MF steel lends itself well to sharpening with medium-grain abrasives. Care of the handle is minimal — it is recommended to occasionally wipe the bubing with special oil.
- Restrictions:steel is moderately resistant to corrosion — rust may appear during prolonged contact with moisture; it is not recommended to use a knife for cutting frozen meat, bones of large animals, as well as as a crowbar or chisel — this is not a task load for a thin cutting tool.
Uniqueness and recommendations for care
The composition of X12MF steel and exotic bubinga wood gives this knife not only striking practicality, but also expressive aesthetics, emphasizing the individuality of the owner and the high status of the handmade product.
Care recommendations:keep the blade dry, lubricate it from time to time with oil (mineral or special for knives); take care of the handle, keeping it clean and shiny. Do not store the knife in a leather sheath for a long time without airing.
Summary of the final recommendation
This knife is an ideal choice for travelers, hunters, fishermen, and connoisseurs of stylish, durable handmade items who value sharpness, reliable grip, expressive aesthetics, and a balance between durability and ease of care. It is not recommended for sea fishing, extreme conditions of high humidity, or use as a heavy tool knife.
