Master’s work. One-of-a-kind piece

Each knife is handcrafted by a Yakut master and is truly unique. Minor variations in appearance are a natural hallmark of genuine handwork

Northern Wind is a handmade Yakut knife equipped with a Kh12MF tool steel blade — a high-carbon, high-chromium alloy that delivers exceptional hardness (up to 62 HRC) and edge retention far beyond standard stainless steels. Kh12MF is the steel of choice for Yakut masters who demand the sharpest possible edge: it slices cleanly through hide, sinew, and frozen fish, and holds that edge through hours of continuous work. The trade-off is that Kh12MF benefits from careful maintenance — a light oiling after use keeps the blade in peak condition.

The Karelian birch handle showcases the distinctive figuring that has made this wood legendary among knife enthusiasts and woodworkers worldwide. A mountain ram horn bolster adds strength and a refined organic contrast. This Yakut knife is ideal for serious outdoorsmen, hunters, and culinary enthusiasts who prioritize cutting performance above all else. Carried in its leather sheath, Northern Wind is ready for whatever the wilderness — or the kitchen — demands.
