Technical characteristics and design features
The blade is made of high-alloy tool steel X12MF with a hardness of 61-62 HRC. This steel is famous for its exceptional wear resistance and the ability to maintain its sharpness for a long time, which is especially important for a universal knife used in field and field conditions. The blade, 2.4 mm thick and 135 mm long, is optimal for most household and travel tasks, and the classic shape of the Normal Blade ensures tip strength and ease of use with various cutting techniques.
The handle is made of black hornbeam, a noble and dense wood species that combines tactile pleasantness with wear resistance. The inserts made of nickel silver not only emphasize the unique author's look of the knife, but also increase the strength of the structure in the bolster area. The handle length of 120 mm ensures an ergonomic and secure hold even during prolonged operation, which is especially appreciated by hunters and tourists. The classic black color of the handle is in harmony with the traditional look of the knife.
The leather sheath is included in the kit and guarantees the safety of the knife during carrying. The absence of a lock indicates a traditional design — the knife can be easily removed with one hand.
Purpose and scope of application
Due to its balanced size and versatile blade shape, this knife is ideal for hiking, hunting, fishing and everyday tasks in nature. It will perfectly cope with cutting game, cooking, woodwork (sharpening pegs, shavings for ignition), as well as precise technical work that does not require a massive blade. Excellent handling and comfortable grip make it an indispensable assistant for outdoor enthusiasts.
The high wear resistance of the X12MF steel allows the knife to be used where prolonged work is required without frequent sharpening. Due to its corrosion resistance (with minimal maintenance), the product is suitable for use in conditions of high humidity and in contact with organic matter, which is especially important for hunters and fishermen.
However, due to the high hardness of X12MF steel, the knife is not recommended for cutting hard materials (bones, metal objects) - this reduces the risk of chipping the cutting edge. For heavy household chores or cutting large bones, it is better to choose another tool.
Strength, durability and care
The high hardness of the blade (61-62 HRC) and the wear resistance of X12MF steel combined with a durable, moisture-resistant hornbeam handle ensure a long service life of the knife when used correctly. Nickel-silver parts are not susceptible to corrosion and decorate the product, preserving its aesthetic appearance for many years.
Knife care is simple: it is recommended to wipe the blade dry after work, periodically lubricate it with a thin layer of oil, especially during long-term storage. The hornbeam handle does not require special care, but its prolonged exposure to water is not recommended — this will preserve the original appearance of the wood.
It is recommended to use high-quality sharpening systems for sharpening the knife: steel X12MF requires a little more time to restore sharpness, but retains its working condition for a long time.
