Detailed analysis of materials and construction
The blade of this knife is made of the well-known tool steel X12MF with a hardness of 61-62 HRC. Due to its high hardness and balanced chemical composition, the X12MF demonstrates excellent wear resistance — the blade retains its sharpness for a long time even during intensive work on hard materials. Steel has good cutting edge strength, which makes the knife indispensable for tasks where clean and controlled cutting is especially important. However, like most tool steels with a high carbon content, X12MF requires careful maintenance to prevent corrosion: after use, it is recommended to wipe and periodically lubricate the blade.
The handle is made of a combination of stabilized Karelian birch with a rich blue hue and black hornbeam. Stabilized birch fascinates with its unique texture and color, and the stabilization technology itself provides moisture resistance, preventing swelling, cracking and deformation during operation in humid conditions or with significant temperature fluctuations. The black hornbeam adds extra strength, durability and premium appearance to the structure. The ensemble of materials guarantees a secure grip and does not slip even in wet hands.
The 150 mm long and 2.4 mm thick blade is made in the classic form of the Normal Blade — a universal choice for most household, tourist and hunting tasks. This geometry provides excellent handling, accuracy, and predictability when working with both products and harder materials (wood, leather).
The genuine leather scabbard provides decent blade protection and convenient transportation, complementing the ensemble of noble materials and emphasizing the individuality of handmade.
Advantages and scope of application
- Wear resistance and sharpness:The X12MF is suitable for long hikes, hunting, fishing, and picnics when it takes a long time to maintain a working sharpener without frequent maintenance.
- Durability and versatility:The shape of the blade and the geometry parameters allow you to perform a wide range of tasks: cutting meat and fish, slicing food, woodwork, small bushcraft, household and household chores.
- Ergonomics of the handle: The combination of stabilized birch and hornbeam provides the knife with an excellent grip even in wet or dirty hands, minimizing the risk of accidental slipping.
- Aesthetics and uniqueness: Each knife is unique due to the natural texture of Karelian birch and manual processing — it is perfect for both practical use and for adding to the collection.
- Moisture resistance of materials: Due to wood stabilization, the handle is resistant to moisture and temperature changes.
Usage restrictions
-
Tool steel X12MF is prone to corrosion — it is not recommended to use the knife for prolonged contact with moisture, salt water or acids without subsequent maintenance.
- Despite its high hardness, the knife is not designed to work on super-hard materials (metal, stone), aggressive picking or throwing load.
- Normal Blade is less versatile for specific tasks (fine milling, extremely fine work) than blades of specialized formats.
Care recommendations
- After each use, wipe the blade thoroughly dry and store it in a dry place.
- Periodically lubricate the blade with neutral oil to protect it from corrosion.
- It is recommended to use water or diamond stones for sharpening, and maintain the recommended sharpening angle for X12MF (20-25 degrees).
- The handle made of stabilized wood does not require special care, but avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals and open flames.
Conclusion and recommendations
This knife is the best choice for those who appreciate versatility, durability, premium materials and handmade individuality. It is ideal for tourists, hunters, outdoor enthusiasts and collectors. The special value of the knife is given by the combination of a blade made of X12MF (long-lasting cutting ability and durability) and a moisture-resistant, spectacular handle made of stabilized wood. It is not recommended as a tool for heavy work such as chopping or for use in conditions of prolonged dampness without maintenance. For connoisseurs of uniqueness and those who are looking for a balance between aesthetics and practicality.
