Detailed analysis of materials and construction
- Blade steel: X12MF is a tool steel known for its exceptional wear resistance and high hardness (61-62 HRC). Due to its high carbon and chromium content, it easily retains its sharpness even with intensive use. It has moderate corrosion resistance: it is better than most carbon steels, but it is inferior to stainless alloys, therefore it requires careful care, especially with frequent contact with moisture.
- Handle material: bubinga, carved bone, brass — a unique combination of aesthetics and practicality. The African bubinga tree has a high density, is resistant to abrasion, and practically does not absorb moisture, which increases durability and grip comfort. The carved bone adds exclusivity and tactile pleasantness, while the brass inserts emphasize the handiwork and help balance the knife.
- Blade shape: Normal Blade is a universal solution for household tasks, tourist and hunting work. The straight line of the butt and the classic profile ensure precision when cutting and confidence when working on a cutting board and in the field.
- Dimensions: blade length — 148 mm, thickness — 2.4 mm, width — 32 mm. These parameters provide a balance between controllability, cutting accuracy and blade strength.
- The handle (130 mm) fits perfectly in a medium and large palm. The wood and bone treatment creates a tenacious surface even with wet hands; the brass parts are non-slip, adding comfort in the cold season.
- The sheath is made of genuine leather, durable and pleasant to the touch, provides reliable and stylish storage of the knife.
Scope and strengths
- It is optimal for: hiking, hunting and fishing (cutting, cleaning, universal use around the campfire), household work, collecting (thanks to artistic bone and hand-made decoration), gifts.
- Advantages:
- Long-term cutting edge sharpness due to hardness and wear resistance of steel X12MF;
- Excellent grip in the hand, slip resistance due to the combined bubinga handle and carved bone;
- Unique appearance and feeling of elite handwork;
- Balance of weight and size — the tool is convenient to carry, use and store;
- The handle is not susceptible to moisture and mechanical damage.
Limitations and less suitable tasks
- Medium corrosion resistance steel: it is not recommended to use for long-term work in seawater or for frequent contact with aggressive media without thorough drying and treatment.
- The blade thickness of 2.4 mm makes the knife less suitable for heavy "batoning" and chopping of large wood — the knife is designed for accurate, precise work.
- It is not recommended to use it for throwing and tasks involving extreme mechanical loads.
Features of care
- It is recommended to thoroughly wipe and dry the blade after working with moisture or products; apply protective oil regularly.
- Sharpening is easily supported on modern devices; steel X12MF holds the chamfer well. However, high-quality abrasive materials must be used for sharpening due to the hardness of the steel.
- The handle made of bubinga and bone does not require special impregnation: it is enough to wipe it periodically with a soft cloth, avoiding prolonged soaking.
Summary final recommendation
This knife is ideal for handmade connoisseurs, lovers of tourism, hunting, fishing and collectors looking for a versatile, aesthetically perfect and reliable tool. It is worth choosing if you value durability and exceptional sharpening, aesthetic pleasure from materials and hand-made finishes, and are also looking for an exclusive status accessory.
It is not recommended for those who need a knife for heavy work (batoning, rough chopping) or permanent work in marine/ aggressive environments — knives with a different blade shape and more corrosion-resistant steel are appropriate for such tasks.
