Exact specifications and design features
This knife is designed specifically for skinning and processing game — the best choice for hunters and fishing enthusiasts. The blade is made of high-carbon tool steel X12MF with a hardness of 61-62 HRC. This steel is known for its exceptional wear resistance, excellent toughness, and remarkable ability to maintain cutting edge sharpness for a long time, even under heavy use. The blade thickness of 2.4 mm with a length of 117 mm ensures that the blade is not only strong enough, but also flexible enough for precise and accurate cuts. The wide blade (35 mm) makes it easy to perform both basic and subtle cutting operations.
The shape of the "Gut Hook" blade is a classic solution for skinning and careful cutting, allowing you to quickly and safely open the peritoneum without the risk of damaging the inside, which is especially valuable when working with game. This design is universal for most hunter tasks: skinning, butchering carcasses, as well as performing some household and camp work.
The handle is made of natural birch bark. This material not only gives the instrument an authentic and noble appearance, but also has a special warmth and comfort in the hand, especially when working in the cold season. Birch bark holds its shape perfectly, does not slip even in wet conditions, and provides a confident and reliable grip in all weather conditions. The handle length of 117 mm ensures ergonomics for medium and large palms.
The set includes a leather scabbard for safe and comfortable carrying.
Scope of application: where the knife reveals its potential
- Hunting: an ideal tool for skinning, carefully butchering and opening animal carcasses.
- Fishing and tourism: suitable for trophy cutting and small chores in the camp.
- Collectibles: thanks to its traditional materials and shape, it fits perfectly into themed collections.
Advantages and limitations of the knife
Advantages:
- High wear resistance and cutting edge retention due to steel X12MF (HRC 61-62).
- The effective shape of the Gut Hook blade is to minimize the risk of spoiling meat and entrails during opening.
- Eco—friendly, "living" birch bark handle - non-slip, does not cool the hand, is resistant to moisture and dirt.
- Handmade and premium materials make the knife special and authentic.
- Compact dimensions provide movement control and increased maneuverability.
- It is not suitable for rough woodwork (chopping, chopping large bones) due to the shape and thickness of the blade.
- It is not intended for professional kitchen work (slicing fillets, chopping vegetables), the optimal area is cutting and skinning.
- The shape of the Gut Hook requires careful care of the hook to avoid blunting or chipping.
Care recommendations
Steel X12MF demonstrates good corrosion resistance due to its high chromium content, however, to ensure durability, it is recommended to regularly wipe the blade dry and lubricate it from time to time with a thin layer of neutral oil, especially after contact with moisture or meat. The birch bark handle is resistant to moisture, but does not like prolonged wetting. Keep the knife in a dry place and periodically treat the handle with special wood oils to preserve its presentable appearance and structure.
To whom and for what the knife is especially suitable
This knife is an indispensable choice for experienced hunters and fishermen who value efficiency, reliability and traditional solutions, as well as for collectors who collect authentic pieces with historical heritage and handmade finishes. If you are looking for a knife primarily for butchering and skinning, this is your ideal tool. For heavy, rough or purely kitchen work, it is better to choose a specialized model. Careful care will ensure the preservation of the working and aesthetic qualities of the knife for many years.
