Technical analysis and properties of the knife
Blade steel: X12MF
X12MF is a legendary tool steel, valued for its outstanding wear resistance and high hardness (61-62 HRC). It ensures long-term preservation of the cutting edge and confident retention of sharpness even under intense loads, which is especially important in camping and domestic conditions. A distinctive feature of X12MF steel is its unsurpassed ability to resist discoloration and mechanical damage. At the same time, steel is quite capricious in terms of care: it is prone to corrosion upon contact with moisture, which requires regular oil treatment of the blade and wiping after use in a humid environment.
Handle: black hornbeam and duralumin
Black hornbeam is a natural wood characterized by durability, pleasant texture and premium appearance. It provides a comfortable grip, fits perfectly in the hand even during prolonged work. Duralumin inserts add additional rigidity to the structure, reducing the overall weight of the knife and increasing resistance to mechanical damage. It is important to note that hornbeam is sensitive to prolonged exposure to moisture, so careful care is required: do not leave it for a long time in places with high humidity and periodically treat the handle with special oils.
Blade shape and construction
The blade length of 100 mm and the thickness of 2.4 mm make the knife optimal for delicate and precise work, as well as versatile tasks. With a width of 22 mm, the blade is convenient for cutting and trimming, this size contributes to high maneuverability. The folding design makes the knife convenient for daily use: it does not take up much space and is safe when closed.
Ergonomics and hand hold
The handle length of 125 mm, combined with the anatomical shape of the hornbeam handle and aluminum duralumin, ensures a confident and comfortable grip of the knife in the hand, both with and without gloves. Even with prolonged work, fatigue and the risk of slipping are reduced.
Wear resistance and care
Due to the hardness and composition of the steel, the knife practically does not require frequent sharpening, but it will be possible to sharpen the X12MF blade only with high—quality abrasives (preferably diamond ones). It is necessary to wipe and lubricate the blade regularly to avoid the appearance of rust spots.
Scabbard
The set includes a leather sheath, which ensures the convenience and safety of storing the knife.
Scope of application and optimal tasks
This knife is optimal for everyday wear (EDC), camping trips, outdoor activities, picnics, household and household tasks. It is perfect for linear cutting, cleaning and slicing products, simple carpentry and handicraft work. High hardness and wear resistance allow the knife to be used on long trips without the need for frequent sharpening.
It is not recommended to use the Belka knife for heavy work: chopping, planing of hard materials, forceful opening or throwing — this can lead to damage to the cutting edge or mechanical damage to the structure.
