Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel: X12MF
The blade is made of high-alloy tool steel X12MF, one of the best Russian steels for kitchen knives and craft tools. This steel with a hardness of 61-62 HRC provides exceptional wear resistance and a long service life of the cutting edge. It is famous for its ability to maintain its sharpness during prolonged use, which is especially valuable in the kitchen.
X12MF demonstrates excellent wear resistance due to its high carbon and chromium content, but requires careful maintenance: it is not completely stainless steel, so after use it is necessary to thoroughly wipe the blade dry to prevent possible corrosion.
Due to its high hardness, the knife is excellent for clean, neat cuts, does not require frequent sharpening, but only high—quality stone can sharpen it - home straightening with a musat or sling will take longer than for softer steels.
Blade Shape: Drop Point, Geometry and Tasks
The classic Drop Point shape with a moderate rise of the butt line to the tip provides versatility in cutting. This geometry is ideal for chopping, slicing, chopping vegetables, meat and fish. The blade length of 185 mm and width of 45 mm are optimal parameters for dynamic work in the kitchen, allowing you to confidently chop large products and mill meat.
The 1.8 mm thickness of the butt guarantees precise and easy cutting without excessive weight, and the smooth reduction to the tip reduces the risk of chipping when working carefully.
Handle Material: Black Hornbeam
The handle made of black hornbeam, a noble wood with high density and elasticity, provides excellent grip and minimal risk of slipping, even with wet hands. Hornbeam is resistant to moisture and temperatures, does not absorb odors and does not warp over time. The ergonomically shaped handle with a length of 120 mm guarantees comfort even during prolonged operation.
Black hornbeam is appreciated not only for the aesthetics of its deep color, but also for its unique combination of strength, soft tactility and durability — such handles rarely crumble and do not require complex maintenance.
Wear resistance, moisture resistance and care
Due to the high hardness of the steel, the blade can withstand intensive use and remains sharp for a long time. Black hornbeam and high-quality processing prevent damage to the handle even with regular washing. However, X12MF steel requires timely care: after washing, the knife must be wiped dry, stored in a leather sheath and periodically lubricated with neutral oil to prevent corrosion.
It is advisable to sharpen the knife only on high—quality abrasives - at the same time, steel will reward with the sharpest and longest-lasting edge.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
Optimal tasks:
- Dynamic slicing, chopping, chopping of vegetables, herbs, meat, fish.

Unique advantages

A high-quality Drop Point with premium manual processing guarantees not only practicality, but also aesthetic pleasure from owning a unique author's tool. This knife is the epitome of harmony between the high technology of steel and the natural beauty of hornbeam.
