Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel: H12MF (HRC 61-62)
The blade is made of alloy tool steel X12MF with a hardness of 61-62 HRC — one of the leaders in wear resistance among domestic steels. Thanks to this, the knife perfectly holds the cutting edge even under prolonged load, practically without requiring frequent sharpening. The steel has good impact strength and is resistant to chipping when used correctly. However, high hardness implies slightly greater brittleness compared to “soft” steels, so the knife is not recommended for cutting bones or rough work.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion
X12MF exhibits significant corrosion resistance, but is not completely stainless. After working in humid conditions, cutting fish or meat, it is recommended to wipe and wipe the blade dry to avoid stains or pitting. For long–term storage, periodically lubricate the blade with special oil.
Handle: Karelian birch (red), all-metal finish
Karelian birch is one of the most aesthetic and practical natural materials: it combines durability with a magnificent appearance. The handle is treated for additional protection from moisture, fits well in the hand and does not slip even in wet conditions. The all—metal construction (full tang) provides outstanding durability - the knife will not fail under bending and twisting loads.
The natural texture and coloring make each piece unique — the product is perfect for the collection.
Blade shape: Normal Blade, dimensions
The classic shape of the "Normal Blade" is versatile: the length is 148 mm and the thickness is 3 mm, allowing you to work with both food and fine cutting or wood carving. The blade width of 32 mm ensures excellent handling and safe operation. This geometry is convenient for precise control of the cutting depth and is suitable for filigree operations.
Ease of sharpening and maintenance
Due to its high hardness, X12MF requires a little more attention when sharpening – it is recommended to use high-quality abrasives or professional sharpeners, but with proper sharpening, the blade retains razor sharpness for a long time. Care of the handle is minimal — you can occasionally treat the wood with oil to preserve the brightness of the color and protect the structure.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
- Ideal for hunting, fishing, and hiking: light butchering, household chores in the camp, and versatile for most camping tasks.
- Outstanding resistance to bluntness and wear – the knife remains sharp even after prolonged loads.
- The Karelian birch handle remains reliable even in a wet palm — maximum control in all conditions.
- Is not afraid of heavy loads due to its all-metal construction.
- Limitations: it is not recommended to use it for chopping bones, large branches or as a pry bar — the blade is sharpened for precise work, not brute force.
- For a professional kitchen, it is better to choose a profile with more detailed information, if only the chef format is required.
Unique moments and legacy
The combination of modern technology with the history of northern folk knives. Karelian birch, a material traditionally used in folk crafts, is combined with high—tech steel, which makes each knife not only an effective tool, but also a work of art. A great option for collectors who appreciate uniqueness and practicality.
Care recommendations
- After use, wipe and wipe the blade dry, especially after contact with moisture and food.
- Periodically lubricate the steel with a thin layer of oil to prevent corrosion.
- Avoid prolonged contact with aggressive liquids (salt water, blood) without subsequent cleaning.
- The handle made of Karelian birch should be treated every few months with natural oil or a special impregnation for wood.
Summary of the final recommendation
This knife is a reliable choice for hunters, hikers, anglers, handmade connoisseurs and collectors. It is ideal for those who are looking for strength, durability and aesthetic value in one product, without planning to use a knife for extremely rough work. With proper care, it will serve for many years, preserving its unique beauty and working qualities.
