Blade steel — X12MF: The blade is made of X12MF tool steel, characterized by high hardness (61-62 HRC) and outstanding wear resistance. This steel is specially designed for conditions where long—term preservation of the cutting edge and wear resistance are required due to the content of chromium (up to 12%) and molybdenum. It is resistant to chipping and has impressive strength, while remaining viscous enough for reliable operation without fear of brittle breakage. However, despite the presence of chromium, X12MF is not stainless steel, so the blade requires regular maintenance to prevent corrosion, especially during prolonged contact with moisture or aggressive environments.
Handle materials — Wenge and nickel silver: The handle is made of exotic wenge wood, known for its durability, dimensional stability and pleasant texture. Wenge is not only aesthetically distinguished by its deep, saturated color, but also perfectly withstands operational loads, does not crack and rarely reacts to moisture. The inserts and pommel made of nickel silver give the knife a classic look, emphasize its status and historical style. Nickel silver also resists corrosion and mechanical wear well, maintaining its attractive appearance for many years to come.
Comfortable grip and hold: The classic shape of the handle with a pronounced guard, as well as optimal dimensions (125 mm length) ensure a reliable, confident grip even in humid conditions or when working with gloves. The wenge does not slip in the hand and retains warmth, and the shape of the handle allows you to use the knife for a long time without fatigue.
Blade and guard shape features: The classic “Finnish” blade shape (finka), identical to the historical NKVD knives, is characterized by a moderate thickness (2.4 mm) and a universal length (128 mm), which makes it perfectly balanced for most household and field tasks. The blade is convenient for both piercing and cutting manipulations, allows for precise woodwork, cooking, cutting fish or meat.
Durability and ease of care: Due to the high hardness of X12MF, the blade retains its sharpness for a long time, allowing it to rarely resort to sharpening (diamond or ceramic abrasives are most effectively used). Care involves regular drying, cleaning and application of protective oils (especially after contact with moisture) to prevent corrosion. Wooden wenge scabbard not only emphasizes the premium quality of the product, but also protects the blade from external influences, however, it is recommended to avoid long-term storage of the knife in damp rooms.
This knife is a replica of the legendary “Finnish NKVD”, combining the fighting spirit of a bygone era and modern quality standards. The use of X12MF steel finds the perfect balance between practical effectiveness and collectible value, and natural premium materials emphasize the individuality of the product. This combination is very rare in the market of hand knives, especially in the version with nickel—silver elements and a wooden handle made of wenge, which guarantees not only functionality, but also aesthetic pleasure.
It is recommended to wipe and dry the blade regularly after use, apply a light layer of oil (mineral or weapon oil) during storage. To maintain the aesthetics of wenge wood, use special oils or waxes for exotic woods.
Short recommendation: This knife will become an indispensable companion for a collector, a connoisseur of history, a tourist, a hunter and a lover of high-quality handmade. High hardness, premium materials and traditional style are especially important for those who are looking for a versatile, reliable knife for everyday and hiking tasks, while being willing to devote time to basic blade care.
