Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel — Damask (hardness 65 HRC):Damask steel is famous for its outstanding wear resistance, high strength and beautiful, recognizable pattern on the surface. The hardness of 65 HRC is the highest value, which provides the blade with exceptional sharpness and long—term retention of the cutting edge, even with intensive use. Damask resists the formation of microcracks well, but requires careful handling (it is not intended for chopping or power work with hard materials) .
Handle — Birch bark: Natural birch bark is a traditional material that combines lightness, pleasant texture and high resistance to moisture. Even in wet weather, the handle is non-slip, providing a secure grip in various conditions. Birch bark has a natural shock-absorbing effect, so that prolonged knife work does not cause hand fatigue.
The shape of the blade is a Trailing point: The characteristic high line of lifting the butt to the tip, creating a curved profile, makes the knife especially effective for precise cuts, skinning, thinning and any manipulation of the cut. This form is ideal for tourists, hunters and fishermen.
Dimensions:The length of the blade is 145 mm and the thickness is 2.4 mm. It allows you to combine maneuverability with sufficient strength, and the width of 40 mm makes it easy to control the cut. The handle length of 125 mm fits well in the palm of an adult's hand and provides a firm grip.
Corrosion resistance and maintenance:Bulat requires careful care: after use, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry and periodically lubricate the blade with neutral oil, especially in conditions of high humidity. Birch bark is resistant to water, but to preserve aesthetics it should be treated from time to time with a special impregnation or wax.
The scabbard: The sturdy leather sheath reliably protects the knife during transportation and keeps it in perfect condition.
