Technical characteristics and features of materials
The knife combines centuries-old traditions and modern materials, which makes it a reliable assistant for demanding users. The blade is based on X12MF tool steel (hardness 61-62 HRC), known for its exceptional wear resistance and long—term preservation of the cutting edge even during intensive work. The blade thickness of 3 mm with a length of 105 mm provides a balance between load resistance and high sharpness, which is especially valuable for precise, controlled cuts.
The handle is made of Karelian birch, one of the most beautiful and durable rocks with a natural pattern and pleasant tactile warmth. The special treatment (blue birch tinting) not only highlights the unique texture of the wood, but also provides additional protection from moisture. Thanks to the ergonomic shape of the handle and the length of 125 mm, the knife fits comfortably in the hand, does not slip even in difficult field conditions, providing confident control with both wet and dry palms.
Genuine leather scabbards are used for storage and carrying. They are strong and durable, they hold the knife perfectly, protecting the blade from damage.
Application areas and optimal tasks
This knife in the format of a folding pocket is best suited for:
Cooking during hikes, hiking, picnics — thanks to the perfect geometry of the cutter and the working length of the blade.
Hunting and fishing — it is convenient to butcher fish, small and medium game, peel vegetables and meat.
Daily Wear (EDC) — compact size and folding design make the knife practical for everyday tasks.
Collectible use — the unique texture of the blue Karelian birch and the handwork favorably distinguish the knife from the standard samples.
Thanks to the competent combination of durable steel and a comfortable handle, the knife confidently copes with most tasks that require sharpness, clean cutting and reliability.
Advantages and limitations
Advantages:
X12MF steel guarantees excellent wear resistance and long—term sharpness - the blade does not become dull even after a significant amount of work.
The handle made of natural Karelian birch is not only aesthetically attractive, but also resistant to moisture (with proper care), provides a reliable grip in various conditions.
The moderate thickness of the blade and the optimal length make the knife versatile, and the shape of the cutter is a reliable tool for precise cutting of both food and wood of small thickness.
High hardness (61-62 HRC) minimizes the frequency of sharpening when used correctly.
The handwork and exclusivity of each handle.
Restrictions:
It is not recommended to use it for heavy chopping, opening bones, or heavy lateral loads (there is a risk of chipping due to the high hardness of the steel).
Steel X12MF, despite its resistance to corrosion, requires basic maintenance — cleaning and wiping after work to eliminate the appearance of stains.
The wooden handle does not like being in a humid environment for a long time — do not leave the knife wet or in water for a long time.
Care recommendations
To preserve the unique appearance and operational properties:
Wipe the blade dry after use, especially after contact with food or moisture.
Lubricate the folding lock mechanism regularly with safe knife grease.
Perform periodic sharpening on fine—grained stones - the X12MF perfectly holds the sharpening, but does not require frequent eyeliner if necessary.
Wipe the handle every few months with natural oil (linseed oil, mineral oil) to protect the wood and preserve its natural beauty.
Bottom line: who is the knife especially good for
This folding knife is designed for those who appreciate handmade aesthetics and functionality: tourists, hunters, fishermen, hiking enthusiasts and fans of ethnic knives. Its advantages — a combination of high wear resistance, practical ergonomics and excellent appearance — are especially important for those who are looking for a versatile knife for field and household tasks with an emphasis on manual work and uniqueness. We do not recommend it for heavy power work. Otherwise, it is an ideal solution for everyday and gastronomic use cases.
