Precise disassembly of properties and features
Blade steel: Damask (HRC 65)
The blade is made of the legendary damask with an outstanding hardness of 65 HRC. Bulat is known for its multi-layered structure, which gives it not only an exquisite appearance with a distinctive pattern, but also a high cutting ability. Due to its high hardness, the knife has exceptional wear resistance: the blade retains its sharpness for a long time even with intensive use, without requiring frequent sharpening. At the same time, damask steel requires careful maintenance — due to its high carbon content, corrosion may occur if stored improperly, so it is important to keep the blade clean and dry, periodically using neutral oils.
Handle material: Set design, nickel silver
The handle is made of nickel silver, a noble alloy with a unique silver luster, which is not prone to rapid tarnishing and has good corrosion resistance. The set handle design ensures ergonomics, the hand is comfortably fixed even in wet conditions. Nickel silver is stable under temperature fluctuations and does not slip, which adds confidence when using the knife in both everyday and difficult field conditions.
Geometry and shape of the blade: Drop Point
The classic Drop Point shape is ideal for versatile applications: it provides an excellent balance between strength and cutting control, facilitating both precise work and significant stress on the blade. The blade length of 140 mm and thickness of 3 mm make the knife optimal for most tourist, hunting and household operations. The width of 30 mm contributes to the stability of the cutting edge, which is especially important when processing food, trees or work on hides.
Scabbard: Leather
The leather scabbard reliably protects the blade from moisture, mechanical damage and ensures comfortable wearing. The classic material emphasizes the premium quality of the knife and additionally protects the damask from accidental external influences.
Optimal conditions of use and scope of application
This knife performs best in the following areas and tasks:
- Hunting: Due to its high hardness and shape, Drop Point is effective for butchering carcasses, skinning and fine precision work.
- Hiking and camping: the versatility of the blade and the convenience of the handle allow you to use the knife for cooking, camping, and working with wood.
- Collectibles: damask steel, nickel silver and handmade make the knife an object of aesthetic admiration and a valuable specimen for collectors.
- Gift option: thanks to the decorative materials and the quality of execution, the knife will become a luxurious and status gift.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion, wear resistance, maintenance
-
The steel requires careful care: after use, the blade must be wiped dry and stored in a dry place. Periodic oil treatment is recommended for additional protection.
- The nickel silver of the handle is not subject to corrosion and does not tarnish, it is resistant to external influences.
- The knife's wear resistance is outstanding due to the hardness of the steel, but the steel can be brittle under heavy lateral loads or impacts — you should avoid using the knife as a lever or crowbar.
- Sharpening requires a certain skill — damask is difficult to sharpen with ordinary household tools, it is recommended to use professional stones of medium and high grain.
Limitations and undesirable application scenarios
- It is not recommended to use a knife for heavy metal work, opening cans, or as an assembly tool — damask is quite fragile to break.
- Contact with acids and prolonged exposure to moisture can cause stains and microcorrosion on the blade.
- It is not intended for batoning large logs and chopping — it is preferable to use it for cutting and precision work.
- It can be inconvenient for long-term work in the kitchen (for example, chopping vegetables), due to the greater thickness and specificity of the shape.
Summary and recommendations
