Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel – X12MF (HRC 61-62):The blade is made of high-alloy tool steel X12MF, which has a high hardness (61-62 HRC). This steel is famous for its outstanding wear resistance and cutting resistance — the knife retains its sharpness for a long time even with intensive use. The use of X12MF ensures reliable work with hard materials such as wood and leather, making the knife ideal for cutting and small carpentry tasks. Due to its good corrosion resistance for its category, the steel is protected from rust, but still requires basic maintenance: wiping and sometimes lubrication, especially in conditions of high humidity.
Handle material – stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam:The handle combines two unique woods: stabilized Karelian birch (in a rich purple shade) and black hornbeam. This combination is not only visually appealing and emphasizes the aesthetics of handmade, but also practical — the stabilization protects the wood from moisture, swelling and cracking. As a result, the handle remains pleasant to the touch, does not slip even in a wet palm and provides a comfortable, reliable grip in all weather conditions.
Blade Shape – Drop Point: The Drop Point shape is a classic, ideal for versatile tasks: from cutting food to performing precision work in nature. This blade profile allows you to control the cut, is not prone to chipping when working with hard materials, and the tip is convenient for piercing, skinning and other manipulations often found in tourism, hunting and everyday life.
Dimensions and ergonomics:The blade length is 118 mm (width 31 mm, thickness 2.4 mm) — the optimal balance of compactness and functionality. The handle length of 122 mm fits perfectly into a medium and large palm, and the smooth shapes ensure long-lasting comfort without fatigue.
Genuine leather scabbard:The classic leather sheath securely locks the knife and emphasizes its status as a premium product. The knife is convenient to carry and quick to remove if necessary.

- Resistance to moisture and corrosion:X12MF is resistant to rust, and stabilized wood is minimally sensitive to moisture — the knife can be used in the forest, near water, in wet weather. However, in case of prolonged contact with salt water, it is recommended to clean and dry the knife.
- Wear resistance and durability:The blade practically does not blunt even when actively working with hard materials and frequent loads, it is not afraid of accidental impacts and discoloration.
- Maintenance and care:X12MF retains sharpening for a long time, but special water or diamond stones are recommended for restoration. After use in extreme conditions, it is recommended to rinse and wipe the blade dry, the handle does not require additional care.
- Limitations: It is not recommended to use it for strong picking of hard materials (concrete, metal), as well as as a heavy chopping tool — the thickness and profile of the blade are optimized for cutting, rather than undercutting or forceful blows.
