Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel — X12MF
KH12MF is one of the most popular Russian—made tool steels, characterized by outstanding hardness (61-62 HRC) with high wear resistance. Due to the chromium and molybdenum content, the blade has good wear resistance, keeps sharpening for a long time and demonstrates excellent corrosion resistance. However, like any tool steel with high hardness, X12MF requires proper care — moisture ingress and prolonged contact with organic matter are undesirable, although the risk of corrosion is noticeably lower than that of carbon steels.
Handle material is Birch bark
The birch bark handle is a traditional material used in hunting knives of the northern peoples. Birch bark not only gives the knife an expressive appearance with a natural texture, but it is also famous for keeping warm in the hand even in cold weather, does not slip in a wet palm and is pleasant to the touch. The knife is comfortable to use in both dry and wet conditions, which is especially valuable for hunting, fishing or hiking trips.
Blade shape and dimensions
The straight, classic blade shape (Normal Blade) with a length of 120 mm and a width of 34 mm is a universal solution for a hunting knife. This geometry ensures efficiency when working on meat, skinning, butchering, and preparing food. The 2.4 mm thickness of the butt guarantees a balance between strength and excellent cutting ability, while the knife does not seem "clumsy" and remains maneuverable.
Ergonomics and safety
The 115 mm long handle is comfortable for most palms. Birch bark is not only non-slip, but also perfectly dampens, reducing fatigue during prolonged work. Even when wet or in cold air, the knife is securely held in the hand, which significantly reduces the risk of injury.
Protection and care
The set includes a classic leather sheath that ensures careful storage and transportation of the knife. To maintain the gloss of the blade and avoid tarnishing the steel, it is recommended to wipe the blade after use and occasionally lubricate it with oil, especially after contact with blood or moisture. The birch bark handle does not require complicated maintenance, but it is advisable to treat it from time to time with natural oils or wax to maintain aesthetics and moisture resistance.

Сделано качественно. Нож очень понравился. Лёгкий и удобный. Хорошо лёг в руку. Прекрасно прошёл проверку разделкой парой десятков карасей (хотя нож не рыбацкий). Держит свою заточку на ура.
Рукоять удобная и, я бы сказала, мягкая.
Порадовало отверстие под темляк (на некоторых моделях его нет).
Ножны сделаны качественно.
Вобщем, покупкой довольна, претензий не имею.
