Technical analysis: design and material features
- The steel of the blade — X12MF is distinguished by its outstanding hardness (61-62 HRC), which provides excellent wear resistance and long-term preservation of the sharpness of the cutting edge. It is a tool steel with a high chromium and molybdenum content, resistant to wear, shearing and mechanical stress. However, due to its hardness and thinness (1.8 mm), it requires care when performing rough work.
- The handle material is black hornbeam with brass inserts, which guarantees not only aesthetic appeal, but also durability and pleasant tactility in the hand. Black hornbeam is known for its density, minimal exposure to moisture, and durability. Brass adds not only accents to the design, but also a confident mass for balance.
- The shape of the blade — Trailing point (inflated tip) is optimal for fine, precise cuts, ideal for slicing, milling and removing meat from bones. This form provides control and makes it easy to perform delicate culinary tasks.
- Dimensions: blade length 150 mm, width 37 mm, handle length 120 mm. The proportions are perfectly balanced for a medium-sized chef's knife: the knife is easy to control, it is convenient for both large and small palms.
- The blade thickness of 1.8 mm allows you to make very thin cuts, minimizing the resistance when cutting food — especially vegetables, fish, meat.
- The knife is equipped with a leather sheath, which is convenient for storage and transportation, but it is not intended to be permanently worn on a belt.
Applications and tasks
- Optimal tasks:It is ideal for precise cutting, milling, chopping greens, slicing meat and fish. It is especially good in the kitchen for everyday work and for demanding tasks where the cleanest and most even cut is required.
- Good retention:The ergonomic handle made of black hornbeam holds perfectly in the hand even when wet; the material does not slip, providing a secure grip during prolonged operation.
- Resistance to moisture and corrosion:steel X12MF resists corrosion well due to its chromium content, but still requires maintenance: timely washing and dry wiping after application. The handle perfectly resists humidity, does not swell or warp.
- Wear resistance and durability:The knife is designed for years of service due to its hardness and low wear of the cutting edge. But its thin blade is not designed for heavy work, chopping bones or opening frozen food — chips or breakage are possible.
- Care and sharpening:The knife has a high hardness, therefore it requires high—quality sharpening tools - it is better to use water stones of medium and fine grain. It keeps sharpening for a long time.
Advantages and limitations

- High hardness requires careful handling: do not allow the blade to fall or twist.
- The knife needs regular maintenance — it should not be left in a humid environment.
Care recommendations
- Wash and dry the knife immediately after use. Prolonged contact with moisture is unacceptable.
- Lubricate the blade regularly with a thin layer of mineral oil for extra protection.
