The exact characteristics and their impact on the performance of the knife
- Blade steel: X12MF (HRC 61-62)
This knife is made of high—quality tool steel X12MF, characterized by excellent hardness - 61-62 HRC. This hardness provides outstanding wear resistance, long-term preservation of the sharpness of the cutting edge and resistance to microcracks during intensive work. X12MF is load-resistant, holds sharpening well, but requires careful handling when straightening: due to its high hardness, it is recommended to use special abrasives.
It is worth considering: X12MF is not stainless steel. To maintain the perfect condition of the blade, it is important to wipe the knife dry after contact with moisture and periodically use neutral oils to protect against corrosion. - Handle material: Birch bark
The handle made of natural birch bark is famous for its lightness, warm and pleasant tactile feeling even in frost or heat. The natural texture of the birch bark layer ensures a firm grip on the hand: the handle does not slip even in damp conditions, does not "stick" to the palm at subzero temperatures. This material is eco-friendly, smells good and, with proper care, lasts for many years. Birch bark requires avoiding prolonged contact with moisture — after getting wet, it is recommended to dry the handle well. - Blade shape: Trailing point
The curved upper butt with a raised tip (trailing point) makes the blade ideal for precise and deep self-cutting, thinning, skinning and other tasks related to processing fish, poultry and meat. Due to the extension to the tip, it is easy to control during milling and fine cutting operations. This shape is least suitable for chopping wood, chopping and power work — it is not recommended to give lateral loads to the blade. - Dimensions and ergonomics
The length of the blade is 145 mm, the width is 40 mm, and the butt is 2.4 mm thick. They allow you to confidently perform both delicate and versatile field tasks. The handle length of 125 mm is designed for comfortable coverage by an adult palm, and the balancing of the knife ensures optimal control during operation. - Scabbard: Genuine leather
The knife comes with a sturdy leather sheath that reliably protects the blade from external influences, and you from accidental cuts during transportation. The leather scabbard is durable and organically complements the handmade aesthetic.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
- Optimal tasks and usage scenarios:
— Hunting (skinning, butchering, thinning)
— Fishing (processing and thinning of fish)
— Tourism, outdoor cuisine (fine cutting, slicing of products)
— Collectibles: the aesthetics of the birch bark handle and the handwork make the knife a sought-after item for collectors. - Advantages:
— Excellent cutting edge resistance (X12MF)
— Confident grip in all conditions (birch bark)
— Maneuverability and precision of cutting (form of trailing point)
— Handmade: each handle is unique due to natural materials - Restrictions:
— Not recommended for heavy work (chopping, chopping, power loads)
— Requires regular maintenance: steel is susceptible to corrosion without timely treatment, birch bark does not like prolonged wetting
— It is not intended for open cans, nails and other "rough" household tasks
Unique features and recommendations for care
- The combination of tool steel and natural birch bark is not only excellent performance, but also respect for the traditions of Russian knife making.
- Thanks to the handmade work, each knife is individual: the natural pattern of birch bark makes the handle unique, and the master's work is flawlessly balanced.
- Care: After work, clean and wipe the blade, and keep the knife dry. Periodically treat the steel with protective oil. The birch bark handle can be rubbed from time to time with a composition based on natural oil or wax for wood.
Brief recommendations — for whom and for what this knife is suitable
This knife is indispensable for hunters, fishermen, tourists and collectors who want to get a reliable working tool and an aesthetically perfect original product. The shape of the blade and the materials used are ideal for delicate work with products, skinning and thinning, and handmade and natural birch bark emphasize the individuality of the owner. It is not suitable for strength tasks, cutting hard materials and woodwork — the blade is designed for precision, not for brute force.
