Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel (X12MF, hardness 61-62 HRC): X12MF is a tool—grade high-carbon chrome steel known for outstanding wear resistance and mechanical strength. The hardness of 61-62 HRC makes the blade exceptionally sharp and confident in sharpening, even during intensive work. Due to its high chromium content and moderate amount of alloying elements, steel has good corrosion resistance, although it requires periodic maintenance to prevent the appearance of patina or rust during prolonged contact with moisture or acidic environments.
Handle Material (Black Hornbeam): Hornbeam is a traditionally valuable material for a knife handle, characterized by its density and hardness, as well as abrasion resistance. Black hornbeam is visually aesthetic, pleasant to the touch, non-slip even with wet hands, providing a reliable and controlled grip in various operating conditions. Wood retains heat, which makes the knife comfortable for prolonged use and in a cool climate.
Blade Shape (Sheepfoot): Sheepfoot type blade — with a rectilinear cutting edge and a rounded tip without a point. This shape is designed for precise and safe cutting, ideal for chopping, dicing and thin slices. It eliminates accidental punctures and makes the work as predictable as possible.
Dimensions and ergonomics: The working length of the blade is 180 mm, the width is 49 mm, and the thickness of the butt is 1.8 mm. This is the classic size of a universal chef's knife: long enough for large workpieces, but maneuverable for delicate tasks. The 120 mm long handle fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and allows you to confidently work with both straight and rock-chop techniques.
Wear resistance and maintenance: Due to its high hardness and high-quality steel, the knife rarely needs to be sharpened; at the same time, the X12MF reacts well to finishing moussages and finishing finishing. Care is limited to hand washing, quick drying and periodic application of a small amount of oil to the blade and handle to protect against moisture.
Scope of application and optimal tasks
- Professional and home cooking: excellent for chefs, culinary enthusiasts and connoisseurs of beautiful, multifunctional tools.
- It is optimal for chopping, slicing, chopping vegetables, herbs, boneless meat, fish and fruits. Sheepfoot eliminates accidental punctures, makes work safe and tidy.
- Resistant to intensive use: perfectly copes with long-term work without frequent sharpening.
- It is suitable for collecting due to the handmade finish, the use of premium materials and the characteristic aesthetics.
Limitations and nuances of the application
- It is not intended for chopping bones, working on frozen food or opening hard packages — due to the high hardness and lower thickness of the blade, chipping is possible under significant lateral loads.
- You should work on wooden or plastic cutting boards. It is not recommended to use on glass, ceramic and metal surfaces.
- Requires basic care: avoid prolonged contact with water, be sure to wipe dry after washing. Periodic treatment of wood with mineral oil is required to maintain its ideal condition.
Unique features and competitive advantages
- Handmade by the master — each knife is individual, with unique features and attention to detail.
- The noble black hornbeam gives the product its originality and status, and stands out favorably in the collection or in the kitchen.

Brief recommendation and conclusion
This knife is an ideal choice for demanding chefs, professional chefs and collectors who appreciate the combination of premium materials, comfortable grip and versatile use in the kitchen. If you are looking for a tool for delicate slicing, controlled chopping and want to emphasize the individuality of your kitchen, this knife will be a faithful helper for many years to come, with minimal regular maintenance.
