Careful analysis of characteristics and unique features
Blade steel: X12MF is a modern tool steel known for its high wear resistance and hardness (61-62 HRC). This hardness ensures excellent retention of the cutting edge even during intensive work, which makes the knife in demand for tasks involving prolonged cutting and frequent loads. X12MF is characterized by moderately high corrosion resistance: it is significantly higher than that of conventional carbon steels, but requires minimal maintenance — drying and periodic application of oil, especially when used in humid conditions.
Handle material: Black hornbeam with duralumin inserts — the combination of rare wood and duralumin provides not only a premium appearance, but also high structural strength. Hornbeam has a high density and pleasant texture, does not slip out of the palm of your hand even when your hand is wet, and duralumin increases wear resistance and gives reliability to joints. This combination of materials makes the handle comfortable to the touch, warm and non-slippery, and the appearance is preserved with reasonable care.
The blade is made in a universal shape Drop Point with a length of 102 mm and a thickness of 2.4 mm — this is the optimal combination for most household, tourist and hunting tasks. The Drop Point features a wide working part, a reinforced tip and an easily controlled cut, which allows you to work on both food and wood, packaging or during a picnic. This profile is convenient for precise and accurate work, for example, milling, cutting and cutting animals or products.
Overall ergonomics: the handle length of 125 mm is designed for medium and large palms, the knife is well balanced and seems to become an extension of the hand. The leather sheath makes the knife comfortable to carry on your belt, and the folding design ensures safe storage and transportation.
Durability and maintenance: The X12MF is known for its slow abrasion — the knife retains its sharpness for a long time even when working with hard materials, but requires care on very hard or mineral materials (such as bone or stone) so as not to damage the cutting edge. Due to its high hardness, sharpening is more laborious than that of simple steels, but when using the right stones, the result exceeds expectations and lasts much longer.
Ideal application area and limitations
- Ideal for hiking, hiking, camping: the versatile shape of the blade, the convenience of the handle and the durability of the main working parts.
- Suitable for hunting: cleaning, butchering small and medium-sized animals, preparing game, working with food.
- Reliable as a daily assistant (EDC): box cutting, packaging, woodwork, equipment preparation.
- Due to the aesthetics of the materials, it is a good choice for collectors who appreciate traditional handicrafts and noble materials.
- It is not suitable for professional kitchen use due to the increased hardness and specifics of steel care. When working on bones or frozen products all the time, it is better to choose a profile with a thicker and more ductile steel.
- It is not recommended for work on very hard materials (metal, bone, stone) — the risk of microcracks under high lateral loads.
Key advantages and unique features

Care recommendations
- After working in a humid environment, be sure to dry the blade and apply a thin layer of oil to prevent corrosion.
- It is recommended to periodically rub the hornbeam handle with special oils or wax for wood in order to preserve the shine and stability of the shape.
- Avoid prolonged contact with aggressive liquids and cleaning agents for both steel and handle.
- For sharpening, use diamond or ceramic stones of medium and fine grain, maintain a working angle of about 20 degrees.
Final recommendations and who this knife is for
A folding knife with an X12MF blade and a black hornbeam handle with duralumin inserts is a combination of handmade, high—quality materials and versatility. An ideal choice for hunters, tourists and connoisseurs of stylish functional products looking for a reliable universal assistant or a worthy specimen in the collection. Not the best option for those who need a kitchen knife for permanent bone cutting or for heavy technical work with metal — this knife is more suitable for precise, demanding tasks where aesthetics and trust in the tool are important.
