Blade steel: X12MF is a high—alloy tool steel with a particularly high chromium and molybdenum content. It is known for its outstanding hardness (61-62 HRC), which provides impressive cutting edge durability, slow wear and excellent durability in operation. Due to its increased wear resistance, the blade retains its sharpness for a long time, even when working on hard and abrasive materials. An important feature of the X12MF is its good corrosion resistance for knives of this class, but prolonged contact with moisture still requires careful care: wipe and dry the blade after use, especially in damp conditions.
The birch bark handle is a natural material known for its antiseptic properties, lightness and pleasant texture. Birch bark fits perfectly in the hand: the material gently adjusts to the palm, does not slip even in wet conditions and ensures a secure hold of the knife with different types of grips. This handle is pleasant to the touch and durable if you take minimal care to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and periodically treat with natural oils or waxes.
Blade shape: Normal Blade (the classic straight line of the butt with a slight drop to the tip) provides versatility — the knife is great for precise, controlled cuts, growing, skinning, slicing food or other everyday tasks. This profile is convenient and safe due to the presence of a guard, a protective stop that prevents the hand from slipping onto the cutting edge.
Construction and dimensions:The blade length of 100 mm, thickness of 2.4 mm and width of 35 mm make the knife compact and convenient for precise work, at the same time it is strong enough for moderate load. The handle length of 130 mm allows you to comfortably hold the knife even in a large hand. The leather sheath guarantees long-lasting and stylish storage of the knife, protecting the blade from damage and moisture during transportation.

Care recommendations
For maximum service life, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry after each use, especially in humid conditions. Keep the knife in a dry leather sheath, avoiding long-term storage in a humid environment. From time to time, treat the birch bark handle with natural oil or special wax for natural wood — this will preserve its pleasant surface and protect it from cracks.
For sharpening, use fine—grained abrasive stones - the X12MF steel holds the sharpening well, but requires a careful approach to maintain the sharpness of the cutting edge.
