Detailed analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: Damask, hardness 65 HRC
Damask steel is known for its outstanding cutting properties and aesthetics of classical weapons art. A hardness of 65 HRC guarantees exceptional wear resistance and retention of the cutting edge even under heavy use. At the same time, the damask keeps its sharpness well and shows outstanding performance in finishing and planing. However, it is important to remember that high hardness requires careful handling: excessive lateral loads or impacts on hard materials can lead to chipping.
Blade Shape: Drop Point
Drop Point is a versatile and one of the most sought—after blade shapes. The wide blade and the smooth rounding of the butt line ensure precise control, while maintaining force along the entire length of the edge. This mold is perfect for cutting, slicing, working on meat, food, as well as for travel tasks that require precision. Due to the optimal ratio of blade length and width (123x28 mm), the knife remains maneuverable and convenient for most field tasks.
Handle material: Stabilized Karelian birch and nickel silver
Stabilized Karelian birch is not only spectacular aesthetics, but also practical: resin treatment makes the tree moisture—resistant and protects it from environmental influences. This solution prevents swelling and cracking. Inserts made of nickel silver emphasize the nobility of the product, enhance structural strength and give a pleasant tactility. The handle length (125 mm) is selected for a secure grip both in the bare hand and in the glove — the knife holds securely even with wet or dirty palms.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion
Bulat requires regular maintenance — unlike stainless steels, it is susceptible to corrosion during prolonged contact with moisture. However, with timely oil treatment and dry storage, the blade retains its impeccable appearance and working qualities for decades. The stabilized Karelian birch is not afraid of moisture, does not absorb odors and is resistant to pollution.
Wear resistance and durability
The high hardness of the damask and the correct geometry of the blade give the knife increased wear resistance when cutting, planing, and cutting. However, it is not recommended to use a knife for chopping bones, opening metal cans or heavy construction work — the tool is designed specifically for delicate tasks and precise, clean cutting.
Easy maintenance
Damask is quite easily sharpened on high-quality water or diamond stones, allowing you to quickly restore the factory sharpness. To care for the handle, it is enough to wipe the surface with a soft cloth, if necessary, treat it with a wood-metal compound. Genuine leather scabbard ensures safe storage and transportation.
