Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: X12MF
One of the best domestic tool steels, KH12MF, is famous for its high hardness (61-62 HRC), outstanding wear resistance and aggressive cutting. Due to chromium and molybdenum alloying, this steel is resistant to abrasion and holds excellent sharpening, which is especially in demand in the kitchen for thin, clean cuts and long-term work without sawing. However, like all carbon tool steels, X12MF requires attention in terms of corrosion protection: after work, it is recommended to wipe thoroughly and store in a dry place.
Handle material: black hornbeam, duralumin
The handle combines natural black hornbeam, a valuable wood variety known for its high density and resistance to moisture, with duralumin elements (duralumin is an aluminum alloy that does not rust and is not afraid of aggressive environments). This combination provides a strong, "warm" grip, secure fixation in the hand even during prolonged use, and also gives the knife an elegant, unique look. The shape of the handle is ergonomic, which reduces fatigue even with large volumes of cutting.
Blade Shape: Drop Point
Drop Point is a classic kitchen knife, ideal for universal tasks: cleaning, slicing, chopping, cutting any food from vegetables to meat and fish. The wide blade (44 mm) is convenient for carrying chopped ingredients and protects fingers from sliding on the blade.
The length of the working part (223 mm) allows you to work with large products, and a thickness of 1.8 mm ensures a neat, delicate cut without unnecessary effort.
Wear resistance and moisture resistance
The X12MF guarantees outstanding wear resistance: the knife retains its razor sharpness for a long time, even with regular intensive use. Due to the dense wood structure and duralumin, the handle is resistant to moisture, but the blade itself requires minimal maintenance: avoid prolonged contact with moisture and aggressive media, wipe immediately after washing.
Ease of care and maintenance
Despite the high hardness of steel, sharpening does not cause difficulties for experienced users, especially with the use of diamond and ceramic abrasives. Regular editing on the poster is recommended. The hornbeam handle does not require special care, it is sometimes enough to treat the wood with mineral oil to maintain a rich color and protection.

Recommendations and conclusion
"Chef No. 1" is the choice for both professional and home cooks who appreciate tools with character: excellent sharpness, perfect fit in the hand, aesthetics and durability. It is ideal for all types of cutting and butchering, but it is not designed for heavy work and requires basic maintenance due to the presence of carbon in the steel.
For those who appreciate exclusivity, masterful handwork and stable results in the kitchen, this is an indispensable work tool and a worthy collection item. For best preservation, we recommend wiping the blade dry after work, storing the knife in a leather sheath and not using it for chopping bones. Such an ensemble of properties is especially important for chefs, home gourmets, collectors and connoisseurs of author's work.
