Exact specifications and materials
Blade steel — H12MF: High-alloy tool steel X12MF stands out for its excellent hardness (61-62 HRC), outstanding wear resistance and excellent cutting properties. Due to the content of chromium, vanadium and molybdenum, the steel is resistant to corrosion, which is important when using the knife in conditions of high humidity or during prolonged storage. This steel is able to maintain its sharpness for a long time, which significantly reduces the need for frequent sharpening. However, increased hardness requires care when working with very hard materials — the blade is not prone to chipping, but excessive lateral force is best avoided.
The handle is a black hornbeam:Black hornbeam is a hard, dense wood species with a smooth texture and high resistance to moisture and temperature changes. The material not only provides an elegant, aesthetic appearance (deep black color), but also guarantees a secure grip, even with wet hands or use in cold climates. Hornbeam wood is not prone to swelling and cracking, which increases the life of the handle with minimal maintenance.
Geometry: The blade thickness is 3 mm, length — 133 mm, width — 24 mm. These parameters are ideally balanced for a universal knife: the blade is thin enough for precise and precise cutting, and at the same time strong enough for confident control. The handle length of 125 mm fits well in almost any palm, providing a comfortable and reliable grip.
Scabbard — leather: High-quality leather scabbard securely locks the knife, protecting the blade from mechanical damage and ensuring safe transportation.
Application area and optimal scenarios
The Karachay bichak (bychak) is a traditional ethnic knife with a rich history, originally created as a universal tool for everyday life, hunting, hiking and outdoor work. This shape is ideal for slicing meat, cutting fish, peeling vegetables, performing small household tasks in the field and in the kitchen. It shows itself especially well in filigree work — cutting and thinly slicing. Due to the combination of length and geometry of the blade, the knife remains very obedient and manageable.
Thanks to its classic shape and hand—made finish, the product will also become an ornament of the collection - for connoisseurs of ethnicity and traditions.
Advantages and limitations
- Long-lasting sharpness: X12MF steel keeps sharpening for a long time, does not require frequent maintenance — it is ideal for hiking conditions and long expeditions.
- High wear resistance:The blade is resistant to mechanical damage even during intensive use.
- Resistance to moisture and corrosion: It can be used for fishing, hunting and expeditions without the risk of rapid rust appearance.
- Comfortable grip:Black hornbeam is reliable in both wet and dry hands. The material is pleasant to the touch, does not slip even when working with gloves.
- Aesthetics and uniqueness: Each knife is the result of handmade work, which guarantees the uniqueness of the wood pattern and the overall appearance of the product.
Restrictions:
The knife is not intended for heavy chopping, opening canned food, or use as a crowbar — its high hardness does not forgive excessive lateral loads. It is also not recommended for super-rough work on bones or frozen foods: there is a risk of chipping.
Care recommendations
Steel H12MF: Although steel is resistant to corrosion, to maintain the maximum quality of the blade, it is recommended to rinse and wipe the blade dry after each use, and lightly oil it during long—term storage.
The handle is made of black hornbeam: It does not require special care, but to maintain the gloss and color depth, you can periodically treat the handle with mineral oil.
Sharpening:To restore sharpness, it is enough to use a high-quality water stone of medium grain; steel is easily sharpened to razor sharpness, while not blunt for a long time.
