Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel — X12MF (HRC 61-62): This knife is made of X12MF tool steel with a hardness of 61-62 HRC, which guarantees excellent wear resistance and long-term retention of sharpening. Due to the high chromium and molybdenum content, steel is resistant to corrosion, which is especially important in conditions of high humidity and in contact with products. The surface of the blade is resistant to stains and rust, and the blade itself does a great job with long cutting sessions without the need for constant straightening.
Handle — black hornbeam, 120 mm:The elegant, dark hornbeam handle fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and is highly durable. Black hornbeam is known for its wear resistance and durability, does not absorb moisture and is not susceptible to slipping even with wet hands, ensuring a confident and safe hold of the knife during operation. This material is traditionally appreciated in knife making for its combination of aesthetics and practicality.
Geometry and shape of the blade — Trailing point, 150x37x1.8 mm:The 150 mm long and 1.8 mm thick blade with a graceful lifting of the butt line (trailing point) is specially designed for easy and precise cutting. This mold is ideal for fine work, slicing, chopping and thinning of products: meat, fish, vegetables and herbs. The pointed tip allows you to perform delicate operations, easily penetrating even small or fragile ingredients.
Wear resistance, durability and maintenance:X12MF is one of the hardest steels used in kitchen knives, which makes the blade exceptionally wear—resistant and durable when used correctly. It does not require frequent sharpening, however, when restoring sharpness, it is recommended to use high-quality water stones of medium and fine grain. The handle does not require special care: it is enough to wipe with a dry cloth, avoid prolonged soaking.
Moisture resistance and corrosion resistance:Due to the high chromium content in the steel and the dense hornbeam structure, the knife is resistant to moisture, does not deform and does not lose its appearance even during intensive kitchen use.
