Technical analysis and design features
Blade steel: X12MF (HRC 61-62)
The blade is made of alloy tool steel X12MF, characterized by outstanding hardness (61-62 HRC), high wear resistance and the ability to keep sharpening for a long time even during intensive use. Such steel is resistant to mechanical stress and works well on cutting, but at the same time requires careful attention to care — first of all, to corrosion protection, since X12MF has moderate resistance to moisture compared to its stainless counterparts.
Blade Geometry: Trailing Point
The shape of the Trailing Point blade with a curved butt line and a raised tip provides amazing efficiency when cutting, convenience when cutting and filleting, and allows you to confidently perform long, smooth cuts. This geometry is most useful for subtle, technical operations, from kitchen cutting to household and travel tasks related to precise motion control.
Dimensions
Blade length — 150 mm, width — 36 mm, thickness — 3.5 mm. This balance is suitable for universal use: from cutting food to working with medium-strength materials. The moderate thickness guarantees a combination of strength and excellent penetration ability.
The handle
There is no information about the material and length of the handle, so it is possible to evaluate the grip comfort in different conditions only based on the traditional design of Uzbek knives. As a rule, such models fit well in the hand during long-term operation, especially with standard kitchen and household grips.
Advantages and operational qualities
Ideal for cutting and fine work: Thanks to the Trailing Point and high hardness, the knife perfectly copes with cutting, chopping, thinning, as well as with precise cuts when cooking and processing fish, meat, and vegetables.
Long-term preservation of sharpness: X12MF steel retains the cutting edge significantly longer than most household analogues, without requiring frequent re-cutting.
Unique look and handmade: The classic Uzbek blade shape highlights the historical traditions of knife making and guarantees the individuality of each product.
Durability: The thickness of 3.5 mm and the high hardness of the structure allow you to work confidently with dense materials without fear of deformation.
Limitations and application features
Sensitivity to moisture and corrosion: X12MF steel is not stainless, therefore it requires mandatory maintenance: wiping dry after contact with water, regular lubrication with mineralized or gun oil.
Requires sharpening skills: High hardness makes it difficult to sharpen on household sharpeners, professional or diamond abrasives are recommended.
Is not suitable for power work and heavy batoning: The thin point and specific geometry are not designed for chopping bones, opening large boxes, cutting wood or scrap loads — this is a knife for precise, neat, smooth movements.
Recommendations for use and care
Optimal applications: Kitchen work (cutting meat, fish, vegetables, fruits), outdoor cooking, fine craft tasks, collecting products of the Uzbek knife school.
Regular care: After each use, wipe the blade dry, periodically apply a light layer of oil to protect against corrosion. Keep the knife in a dry place, avoid prolonged contact with moisture and acidic environments.
Sharpening support: Use sharpening systems or diamond stones; if necessary, contact professional sharpeners.
Final recommendation
This knife is an ideal choice for connoisseurs of authentic handmade and those who are looking for a tool for precise and accurate work in the kitchen, in tourism and everyday life. It is perfect for both enthusiastic chefs and collectors of traditional Uzbek blades. For those who value ease of care and resistance to moisture, alternative stainless steel models should be considered.
