Technical characteristics and design features
The blade of the knife is made of X12MF tool steel, which has one of the best combinations of hardness, wear resistance and cutting edge resistance among modern knife steels. The hardness of the blade is 61-62 HRC, which guarantees excellent sharpness during long-term use and makes the knife especially effective when cutting on hard and fibrous materials. The blade is 2.4mm thick and 31 mm wide with a length of 118 mm, providing a good balance between durability and versatility for various tasks.
The handle is made of a combination of stabilized Karelian birch (in a gorgeous green shade) and black hornbeam. The stabilization of wood increases its resistance to moisture, deformation and cracking, and black hornbeam gives additional density and refined appearance. This arrangement is not only aesthetically attractive, but also practical: the handle fits perfectly in the hand, does not slip even in wet conditions, thanks to the natural relief of Karelian birch and treatment with stabilizing compounds.
The classic shape of the Drop Point blade provides high maneuverability and control when working: the geometry allows you to confidently perform both precision and strength tasks. The knife is equipped with a leather sheath, which ensures safe and stylish carrying, as well as protection of the blade outside of work.
Optimal tasks and application conditions
The knife is perfect for everyday use (EDC), outdoor activities, hiking, hunting and fishing. Drop Point is an ideal shape for universal cutting, skinning, woodwork, and outdoor cooking. Due to the high hardness and wear resistance of the X12MF, the knife can easily handle cutting game, planing branches, and precise work on soft and hard materials. The handle made of stabilized wood is resistant to moisture, so the knife can be used in damp and humid conditions without fear of rapid deterioration of the material.
Thanks to its hand-made assembly and the use of premium materials, the knife is equally interesting for practical use as well as for collectors who appreciate the exclusivity and authenticity of handmade products.
Advantages and limitations
- Advantages:
- Tool steel X12MF — excellent cutting edge resistance, high hardness, reliable wear resistance.
- The handle is made of stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam – it is not afraid of water, does not crack, gives a unique appearance and excellent ergonomics.
- Drop Point – versatility: suitable for precision, strength and filigree work.
- The thickness of the blade and the quality of the heat treatment ensure working strength without excessive heaviness.
- Leather scabbard included — convenient to carry and store.
- Limitations:
- High hardness (61-62 HRC) requires careful handling: it is not recommended to use a knife for chopping bones, heavy impact work, or "breaking" hard objects to avoid chipping.
- X12MF, despite its general resistance to rust, belongs to the class of tool steels and requires regular maintenance. After use, it is advisable to wipe the blade dry and periodically use preservative oil, especially during long—term storage. It is not intended for heavy construction work, batoning or metal contact.
Care recommendations
To preserve the appearance and operational properties, it is recommended to clean the knife from dirt after use, wipe it dry, and apply a thin layer of protective oil to the blade during storage. The handle made of stabilized wood is resistant to moisture and does not require complicated maintenance, however, any aggressive chemicals should be avoided; if necessary, it is sufficient to wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid prolonged contact with water and do not store the knife in a wet sheath.
