Accurate analysis of characteristics and their combinations
Blade steel – X12MF:
X12MF is a tool alloy steel widely recognized for its highest hardness (61-62 HRC) and outstanding wear resistance. This hardness allows the blade to remain sharp for a long time, even with intensive use in the kitchen. The special feature of this steel is the excellent resistance of the cutting edge to blunting when cutting dense foods and meat. However, due to the high carbon content and alloying elements, X12MF requires careful maintenance to protect against corrosion.
Handle material – Wenge and Duralumin:
The combination of wenge and duralumin is a harmony of natural aesthetics and engineering reliability. Wenge is an exotic hardwood that is resistant to abrasion and mechanical damage, and duralumin (a lightweight aluminum alloy) gives the handle additional strength without increasing weight. This combination provides a reliable, confident grip even with wet or greasy hands — a practical solution for professional kitchens and those who like to cook at home.
Blade Shape – Sheepfoot:
The classic "sheep's foot" — sheepfoot — features a straight blade and a smooth descent to the butt. This shape is optimal for straight—line cuts, such as slicing vegetables, chopping, and precise cutting of food, where control and safety are necessary. The small radius of the rounded tip makes it possible to work confidently, eliminating accidental punctures.
Dimensions and geometry:
The blade length of 180 mm and thickness of 1.6 mm are perfectly balanced parameters for a universal chef's kitchen knife: lightweight, maneuverable, with an optimal width (45 mm) for convenient transfer of sliced products
.
Durability and care:
The X12MF provides impressive wear resistance, allowing you to avoid sharpening for a long time. To maintain the cutting edge, we recommend using musate or fine-grained stone. Due to its tendency to corrosion, do not leave the knife in a humid environment and wipe it dry daily, periodically apply neutral oil. The wenge handle is resistant to moisture, but duralumin requires protection from aggressive detergents
.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
- Optimal tasks:professional and home cooking, slicing vegetables, meat, fruits, boneless fish; use for precise, even cuts and shredding.
- Secure grip: The ergonomic composite handle ensures reliable knife control even in humid kitchen conditions.
- Durability and sharpness:The outstanding hardness of the X12MF steel ensures long service life and minimal overfilling requirements.
- Limitations: is not designed for chopping bones, frozen food, or working on extremely hard materials — the thin blade (1.6 mm) is designed for precise, delicate work. It is not recommended for prolonged exposure to water or aggressive humid environments due to the characteristics of the steel.
Unique differences and historical context
The sheepfoot knife has been the choice of professionals for centuries: this shape has been appreciated by chefs and merchants for its safety, control and precision of cutting. The modern interpretation based on high-tech X12MF steel and premium handle materials emphasizes the uniqueness of the handmade product — a stylish accent in any kitchen and an ideal gift for a collector.
Care recommendations
To preserve the original geometry of the blade and the gloss of the handle, wipe the knife thoroughly dry after each use. Periodically treat the blade with a thin layer of neutral oil, especially in conditions of high humidity. Do not use a dishwasher — only hand wash with a soft sponge. Wenge is resistant to moisture, and duralumin is best kept clean and not exposed to acidic or alkaline solutions for a long time.
Conclusions and brief recommendation
This chef's kitchen knife is the choice of handmade connoisseurs who strive for the highest level of cutting and durability. If you are passionate about cooking, like slicing with maximum control and aesthetics, appreciate premium materials and are ready to pay basic attention to the knife's care, this knife surpasses expectations in home and professional kitchens.
It is not recommended for cutting bones, frozen foods and conditions of extreme humidity without regular maintenance.
