Detailed analysis of the properties and features of steel, handle and blade
Blade steel: X12MF (HRC 61-62)
The blade is made of tool steel X12MF — it is one of the best domestic steels for knives, with phenomenal hardness (61-62 HRC), very high wear resistance and cutting edge stability. Due to the chromium and molybdenum content, the steel demonstrates excellent resistance, does not require sharpening for a long time even with active use, and its ability to withstand mechanical damage distinguishes the knife from most analogues.
Important: despite the good level of corrosion resistance (better than most carbon steels), X12MF requires minimal maintenance: after contact with moisture, the blade must be wiped dry, and for long-term storage, it is advisable to apply a thin layer of oil.
Blade shape: Clip-point
The classic clip-point blade shape, historically used in NKVD finks, provides excellent handling and sharpness of the point. This blade perfectly cuts, pierces and is suitable for delicate work requiring precision. It is versatile, well suited for cutting, camping and household tasks, but less effective for heavy chopping or work on hard materials.
Handle: acrylic (red with black inclusions, with a red star)
The acrylic handle is not only exclusive in appearance (a bright combination of red and black, a recognizable historical element — a star), but also pleasant to the touch. Acrylic resists moisture and UV rays well, does not absorb odors and dirt, and is easy to clean, which makes the knife practical to care for. Due to the smoothness of the material and the ergonomic shape, the handle fits comfortably in the hand in both dry and wet conditions, although there is a slight risk of slipping when working in oil or dirty conditions.
Dimensions and design features
The blade length of 100 mm is designed for precise work and versatile cutting, and the thickness of 2.4 mm provides a good balance between strength and lightness. The handle length of 130 mm is suitable for most palms. The leather sheath emphasizes the premium quality of the product and protects the knife during transportation. The folding design makes the knife as compact and convenient as possible for daily use.
Optimal scope of application and product advantages
- Light tourist, hunting, urban exploitation (EDC).
- Precise cuts, cutting and processing of food or fish, preparation of small materials.
- The collection area is a knife with a historical heritage (stylized under the iconic "finka" of the NKVD, with a unique decor).
- Excellent retention of the tip for piercing work — skinning, wood preparation, planing.
- Attractive appearance, handmade aesthetics.
Restrictions and conditions for which the knife is not intended
- It is not recommended for heavy chopping or power work (crowbar, axe, batoning).
- It is not optimal for long—term work in an aggressive salty environment - timely maintenance is required due to the characteristics of X12MF steel.
- In conditions of heavy dirt or a large amount of grease/oil, the acrylic handle may become slightly more slippery.
- It is not suitable for heavy work on bones or metal (the cutting edge may chip due to its high hardness).
Care recommendations
- Always wipe the blade dry after use in a humid environment.
- Periodically lubricate the blade with a thin layer of oil for additional corrosion protection.
- Sharpening: use water or diamond stones — due to the high hardness, sharpening must be done carefully, but the knife keeps its sharpness for a very long time.
- The acrylic handle is easy to clean with a soft sponge without abrasives; avoid prolonged contact with aggressive chemicals.
Final recommendations — for whom and for what the knife is especially good
This knife is ideal for connoisseurs of handmade with a historical spirit, fans of classic "finks", as well as those who are looking for a reliable, aesthetic and durable knife for hiking, hunting, fishing or EDC. It will perfectly cope with precise, delicate tasks, cutting, processing materials and will be a real decoration of the collection.
For heavy, rough or chopping work, it is better to choose a specialized knife with a different geometry and less hard steel. For daily careful use with proper care, it is a choice that stands out favorably by combining quality, appearance and performance characteristics.
