Technical characteristics and features of the knife
- Blade steel: X12MF is one of the best tool steels with outstanding hardness (61-62 HRC) and high wear resistance. This steel is renowned for its excellent edge retention and cutting edge durability. Due to these qualities, the knife is able to maintain excellent sharpening for a long time, even with intensive use.
- Blade length: 97 mm and width: 25 mm are optimal sizes for universal use: the knife is not too large to interfere with camping conditions, and at the same time compact enough for precise work.
- Blade Shape: Spear Point – the perfect balance between penetration, stability and versatility. This geometry is suitable for pricking, thinning and delicate cutting tasks, which makes the knife a universal helper both in the kitchen and outdoors.
- Hardness: 61-62 HRC – guarantees excellent cutting edge durability and minimal wear during prolonged operation. This is critically important for those who value long-term sharpness and do not want to sharpen the knife often.
- Handle: – the material and length are not included in the specification, no data is provided. We focus on ergonomics and retention solely on the shape of the blade and the craftsmanship of the manufacturer.
Scope of application and advantages
- Optimal tasks:Thanks to the Spear Point blade and X12MF steel, this knife is great for hikers, fishermen, hunters, as well as for outdoor activities and camping. The versatility of the shape allows it to be used for cooking, cutting small game, cleaning fish, cutting cords and other household tasks.
- Durability and reliability: steel X12MF perfectly copes with heavy work, without losing its sharpness even when in contact with hard materials. This makes the knife a long-lived and reliable companion in the harshest conditions.
- Hand grip: the classic symmetry of the spear point ensures balance, and the hand-crafted handle (typical of Artyom Osipov's products) traditionally provides a secure grip, even if the handle material is not specified.
- Corrosion resistance: X12MF steel resists corrosion well, but requires maintenance – it must be wiped dry after contact with moisture and stored dry to prevent rust. For better protection, it is recommended to periodically apply mineral oil to the blade.
- Ease of sharpening and maintenance: hard steel X12MF requires the use of specialized stones, but due to the quality of heat treatment, the knife retains its sharpness for a long time and does not need frequent straightening.
Limitations and areas where the knife is less effective
- It is not recommended for heavy power work, such as chopping bones, opening hard objects or batoning on rough wood: high hardness provides sharpness, but makes the blade less resistant to very strong transverse loads and impacts.
- Use in industrial kitchens, where the knife is exposed to aggressive chemicals or prolonged soaking in liquid, can lead to corrosion — specialized stainless steels are more appropriate here.
Unique moments and handmade aesthetics
Each knife is handmade by master Artem Osipov, which gives the product a unique character, excellent balance and attention to every detail. The use of X12MF tool steel is not just a practical solution, but an element of continuing the best traditions of domestic knife making, where a combination of reliability, beauty and high functionality is appreciated.
Care recommendations and final conclusion
- To preserve the cutting edge, thoroughly rinse and wipe the knife dry after use.
- Regularly apply mineral oil to the blade to protect against corrosion.
- It is recommended to sharpen the knife on water or diamond stones with a fine fraction.
Suitable for: It is an ideal choice for connoisseurs of handmade and high–quality cutting steel - tourists, hunters, fishermen and those who are looking for a compact, versatile working tool with a unique style.
Who won't be suitable: It is not recommended for those who expect complete lack of care or plan to use the knife for extreme strength tasks.
Briefly: This knife is a perfect combination of long—lasting sharpness, durability and aesthetics of classic knife making, created for work and inspiration.
