Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel H12MF (hardness 61-62 HRC):X12MF is a high—carbon tool steel known for its exceptional hardness and wear resistance. Hardness at the level of 61-62 HRC ensures excellent retention of the cutting edge even during active use. The blade does an excellent job with long-term cutting operations, without requiring frequent sharpening. The wear resistance of the X12MF is especially important for hiking, hunting and everyday tasks where stable operation of the knife is required. However, it is not stainless steel, and prolonged contact with moisture may cause corrosion. Therefore, we recommend that you wipe the blade thoroughly after contact with water and lubricate it with oil to preserve its appearance and performance.
Handle material — Karelian birch and black hornbeam: The combination of natural Karelian birch and black hornbeam gives the knife not only a premium appearance, but also excellent ergonomic properties. Karelian birch is famous for its unique texture, pleasant to the touch and non-slip even in wet hands. Black hornbeam adds hardness and resistance to mechanical damage, forming a harmonious ensemble of aesthetics and practicality. The ergonomic shape of the handle and the length of 122 mm ensure a reliable, comfortable grip for almost any palm, which is especially important when working for a long time, including with gloves or in a humid environment.
Drop Point Blade Shape: Drop Point is a universal blade shape with a lowered buttline and a convex belly. This design is optimal for precise controlled cuts, safe piercing, skinning and other manipulations. The blade's length of 118 mm and thickness of 2.4 mm ensure a balance between maneuverability and durability, which is important for hiking, hiking and universal household tasks.
Additional elements and construction: The knife is equipped with a handmade leather sheath, which emphasizes attention to detail and guarantees durable, safe storage and transportation. The handmade work of the master, the careful selection of materials and the perfect quality of fitting the elements favorably distinguish this knife from its analogues.
