Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Blade steel — X12MF: One of the most sought-after tool steels among Russian craftsmen, KH12MF is characterized by high hardness (61-62 HRC), which provides excellent wear resistance and long-term preservation of the cutting edge even with intensive use. Due to its chromium content, steel is moderately resistant to corrosion, but it is not completely stainless, so it requires minimal maintenance and protection from prolonged contact with moisture. This steel perfectly tolerates significant loads, is resistant to chipping and jamming, which is especially important for knives used in field and working conditions.
Handle material — wenge: Wenge wood is famous for its high density, hardness and noble texture. Wenge is resistant to mechanical damage, does not absorb moisture, which increases the durability of the handle. The natural wood pattern makes each piece unique, and the pleasant-to-touch surface provides a secure grip even in a wet hand.
Design and ergonomics: With a blade length of 100 mm and a thickness of 2.8 mm, the knife combines maneuverability with durability, maintaining the necessary balance for most tasks. The 125 mm long handle allows users with different palm sizes to comfortably hold the knife, both in the standard and reverse grip. The applied shape of the blade (the characteristics are not specified, see below) affects the accuracy and versatility of the cut.
Durability and ease of care: The X12MF perfectly holds sharpening and requires rare touch-up, which is especially appreciated by those who prefer minimal maintenance. Sharpening may require special stones or services due to the high hardness of the steel, but proper care guarantees a long service life of the knife. To maintain the steel and wenge wood, it is recommended to periodically wipe the blade dry and treat the handle with natural oils.
The scabbard: Classic leather scabbard ensures the safety of the knife when folded, minimizes contact with moisture and mechanical damage during transportation.
