Detailed analysis of properties and features
The steel of the blade is damask:Damask steel is one of the most valuable materials in the art of knife making, renowned for its unique structure and legendary strength. With a hardness of 65 HRC, this blade has exceptional wear resistance: the working edge retains sharpening for a long time, which is especially valuable for long-term operation without frequent maintenance. Damask, in addition to its aesthetic wavy patterns, is also famous for its good elasticity, but it requires careful care: this steel is not stainless and requires regular protection from moisture.
Handle — stabilized Karelian birch and nickel silver:The handle is made of stabilized Karelian birch, one of the most beautiful and durable wood species. Due to the stabilization process, the wood acquires high moisture resistance, resistance to cracks and deformations. The purple tinting turns the handle into a work of art, and the inserts made of nickel silver (an alloy of copper and nickel) add additional durability, aristocracy and pleasant heaviness. The ergonomic shape of the handle ensures a secure grip even in wet or cold conditions, reducing the risk of slipping.
Blade shape — Trailing Point: A Trailing Point type blade with a raised tip is ideal for jobs requiring filigree precision: milling, skinning, slicing, product work. This geometry facilitates longitudinal and wide cuts, and guarantees clean cuts with minimal effort. The 2.4 mm thick butt and 145 mm blade length provide an excellent balance between maneuverability and durability.
Scabbard and additional elements: A leather sheath is attached to the knife, emphasizing the handmade status and reliably protecting the product during storage and transportation.
Optimal tasks and conditions of use
- Food handling (kitchen, picnic, butchering meat, fish, poultry).
- Hunting (skinning, cutting game), fishing, hiking.
- Collectible use and gift purposes are due to a unique aesthetic.
- Woodwork is used for small, precise operations (cutting, pruning).
Thanks to its excellent ergonomics and balanced weight, the knife holds securely in your hand and allows you to work even in difficult weather conditions. The stabilized handle and nickel silver inserts are resistant to moisture, mechanical damage and tolerate temperature changes well.
Advantages and limitations
- Advantages:
- High hardness and wear resistance of the blade, which retains its sharpness for a long time.
- Excellent aesthetics and uniqueness — each knife is individual due to the structure of the damask and the pattern of the wood.
- Comfortable grip and reliability in different conditions.
- The stabilized handle is resistant to moisture and mechanical wear.
- High status and collectible value.
- Limitations:
-
Bulat requires careful care: the blade must be thoroughly wiped after contact with moisture and regularly lubricated with oil to prevent corrosion.
- The knife is not suitable for heavy chopping and power loads (for example, batoning, hacking, throwing). It is not optimal for rough work on bones, metal or hard materials.
Care recommendations
- After use, it is necessary to clean the blade, wipe it thoroughly dry and apply protective oil — this will protect the steel from corrosion.
- Due to the stabilization, the handle does not need special care — it is enough to wipe it periodically with a soft cloth.
- Keep the knife in a dry, ventilated place, preferably outside the sheath during long-term storage.
- It is recommended to sharpen the knife only on high-quality abrasives, using fine-grained stone.
Final recommendation
This knife is an ideal choice for connoisseurs of unique items, hunters, fishermen, gourmets and collectors, as well as as a prestigious gift. It is optimal for precise, accurate work on products and cutting game. It is not suitable for aggressive power and chopping tasks, where impacts on hard materials are possible and rough operation is necessary. Choosing this knife, you get not only a high—tech tool, but also a real work of art - the result of handmade, combining the historical heritage of Bulat and modern comfort.
