Technical analysis and design features
The steel of the blade is X12MF. This tool steel with high carbon and chromium content is characterized by outstanding hardness (HRC 64) and high wear resistance. Knives made of X12MF perfectly keep sharpening even with intensive use, they are resistant to the formation of scuffs and microcracks. Due to the increased hardness, the blades perform particularly well in tasks that require careful and precise cutting.
The handle is black hornbeam and nickel silver.Black hornbeam is a dense, durable wood that is almost immune to deformation and swelling from moisture. Nickel-silver inserts provide additional durability, aesthetics and protect the handle from mechanical damage. This combination ensures a secure grip, the handle does not slip in the hand even when working in wet conditions.
Dimensions:The 120 mm long blade is a universal size for urban and field tasks; 2.4 mm thick and 24 mm wide, which makes the knife strong enough, but not heavy. The 123 mm handle length is ideal for steady grip with both medium and large hands.
The leather scabbard complements the overall look, ensuring comfortable and safe wearing.
Optimal application areas
- Tourism and outdoor activities:The knife is excellent for slicing food, cooking outdoors, woodwork, opening packages and performing small household tasks.
- Hunting and fishing:The sharp, thin blade allows precise gutting, butchering and skinning of small and medium game, as well as fish.
- Urban and Daily Wear (EDC):Thanks to its compactness and classic aesthetics, this knife will harmoniously fit into the style of a connoisseur of high-quality accessories.
- Collecting:The combination of rare wood, handmade and traditional silhouette gives the product a collectible value.
Product Advantages
- High hardness and wear resistance: allows you to maintain first-class sharpness for a long time, even with daily loading.
- Excellent resistance to moisture and corrosion:The chrome in the steel and the features of hornbeam wood processing make the knife immune to dampness and rust (with basic care).
- Pleasant ergonomics:The smooth but non-slippery handle is comfortable even in a wet palm; nickel-silver details add confidence to the grip.
- Ease of care:The blade requires minimal edging and rarely needs to be fully sharpened.
- Unique aesthetics and handwork:Each knife is a unique piece that combines classics and modern forging technologies.
Limitations and tasks that the knife is not designed for
- It is not recommended to use for heavy batoning, bone chopping or hacking — hard steel X12MF, despite its strength, is prone to brittleness under shock loads.
- It is not suitable for working on metal or stone surfaces — the cutting edge may be damaged.
Care recommendations
- After use, rinse the blade with water and gently wipe it dry.
- Periodically lubricate the blade with a thin layer of oil to prevent possible corrosion.
- The hornbeam handle does not require special care, but avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive environments.
- Sharpening — by hand on fine-grained stone or Japanese vodnik, the main focus is on straightening, full-fledged sharpening is rarely required.
Final recommendation
This knife is the choice of a connoisseur of individuality who is looking for a standard of versatility for tourism, hunting and everyday wear. It is perfect for those who appreciate durability, a sharp cutting edge and a rare combination of classics with handmade. If your task is heavy outdoor work with batoning and bone cutting, we recommend choosing a model with less hard and more viscous steel.
