Blade steel: Damask
Damask steel is traditionally famous for its unique combination of high hardness (HRC 65) and excellent cutting ability. Due to its complex structure and high carbon content, damask retains its sharpness longer than most modern steels, and the characteristic blade pattern gives each knife a unique personality. However, to preserve these properties, bulat requires careful care — corrosion is possible if it is not cleaned in time.
Blade thickness, length and shape
The blade is 2.4 mm thick and 123 mm long and shaped like a Drop Point. This geometry is ideal for versatile applications: The Drop Point combines a sharp working point and a durable cutting edge, simplifying cutting control and making the knife suitable for work on both products and wood or leather. The versatility of the form is especially in demand in tourism, hunting and everyday life.
Handle: black hornbeam and nickel silver
The handle is made of black hornbeam, a dense wood species with pronounced moisture resistance and high strength. The nickel silver inserts not only enhance the design, but also give the knife a premium appearance. The ergonomics of the handle is designed for a secure grip in both dry and wet conditions — the knife does not slip or rub the palm, even during prolonged operation.
Protective properties and scabbard
The knife is equipped with a handmade leather sheath that protects both the blade and the user when worn. Eco-friendly and durable materials emphasize the status of the product.
Optimal applications and limitations
- Tourism and hunting: A reliable companion for butchering, skinning, cooking, woodworking and other camping tasks.
- Kitchen Tasks: It is suitable for slicing vegetables, meat, bread, but it is especially good for planing and precision work.
- Collecting:Damask, nickel silver and handmade make the knife unique, appreciated by collectors.
Limitations:Damask is less resistant to aggressive environment and moisture than modern stainless steels. It is not recommended to stay in water for a long time, work with acids or in marine conditions. It is not intended for heavy power work: cutting nails, chopping bones, etc.
Advantages of construction, aesthetics and usage
- Exclusive damask steel with a hardness of HRC 65 — long cut and expressive appearance.
- The handle is made of black hornbeam and nickel silver — durability, reliable grip and luxurious appearance.
- Drop Point — versatility for a wide range of tasks and ease of blade control.
- Moisture resistance of the handle with minimal maintenance.
- Handmade — each knife is unique, which is especially valuable for connoisseurs of the traditional blacksmithing school.
Wear resistance and care:Damask keeps sharpening longer than typical steels, however, it requires care when straightening — it is recommended to use diamond or ceramic tools and avoid excessive aggressive sharpening.
Care and maintenance
- After use, rinse and wipe thoroughly dry.
- Periodically lubricate the blade with neutral oil to prevent corrosion.
- Do not store the knife in its sheath for a long time in humid conditions.
- The hornbeam handle requires almost no special care, but it is recommended to dry it if it gets wet for a long time.
Who is especially suitable for this knife (and who is not suitable)
This knife will be a real godsend for connoisseurs of traditional technologies, hunters, tourists and collectors who appreciate impeccable precision, individuality and aesthetics. The combination of damask, hornbeam and nickel silver distinguishes the product from its mass analogues. Those who are looking for a knife for extreme conditions with constant humidity or aggressive environments, as well as for heavy power work, should consider specialized models made of stainless or particularly impact-resistant steels.
A brief recommendation:If expressive aesthetics, long—lasting sharpness, handwork and a unique look are important to you, this knife will become your reliable assistant and a source of pride in the collection.
