Blade steel X12MF is a high—carbon tool steel with excellent hardness (61-62 HRC), which provides exceptional cutting edge durability and high wear resistance. This material is resistant to heavy loads, keeps sharpening for a long time and is able to cope with frequent intensive use. Due to the chromium content in the composition, the steel demonstrates increased resistance to corrosion, however, regular maintenance is recommended for maximum service life — after use, it is enough to wipe the blade dry and, if necessary, use light oil.
The handle made of Karelian birch (amber) and black hornbeam is a combination that emphasizes both tradition and premium quality of the product. Karelian birch is known for its expressive texture, aesthetics and pleasant tactility, while black hornbeam gives the structure additional strength and moisture resistance. Both materials not only look beautiful, but also have excellent ergonomics: the knife is securely held in the hand even when working in wet conditions or with a glove. This solution is especially important for a small knife, where tool control plays a key role.
Dimensions and construction: the blade length is 70 mm (width — 20 mm, thickness — 2.4 mm) and the compact handle (90 mm) make the knife incredibly convenient for everyday use and precise tasks. The small size and classic materials of the scabbard (genuine leather) make it easy to carry the knife on your belt or in your pocket — it does not interfere with movement and is always at hand.
