Actual analysis of properties and features
Blade steel: Damask (HRC 65) — The blade is made of damask steel with a high hardness of HRC 65, which provides outstanding sharpness and long-term retention of the cutting edge. Bulat has historically been valued for its unique combination of hardness and elasticity, which allows the knife to withstand significant loads without the risk of destruction of the metal structure. Such a blade will work effectively with fine cutting and planing, without requiring sharpening for a long time.
Wear resistance and durability — Due to the high hardness of the damask, the knife demonstrates excellent wear resistance (durability of the tip and edge), however, it requires careful attention, as excessive lateral load can lead to chipping.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion — Bulat has moderate corrosion resistance: in conditions of high humidity or prolonged contact with aggressive media, it requires wiping and oil treatment. This is important to preserve the aesthetics and working properties of the blade.
Easy maintenance — Due to its high hardness, steel takes longer to sharpen, but the sharpening process itself requires some experience and a high-quality abrasive.
Handle material: Stabilized Karelian birch, nickel silver — The stabilized purple Karelian birch not only impresses with its depth of color and pattern, but is also protected from moisture, which eliminates deformation, cracking and the formation of fungus. The nickel-silver elements add strength and original luster, emphasizing handwork and attention to detail. The handle of medium length (125 mm) is ergonomic and fits comfortably in the hand, does not slip even in wet conditions, which is especially valuable when working outdoors or at home.
Dimensions: The blade length is 142 mm, width is 30 mm, thickness is 2.4 mm — These parameters are perfectly balanced for versatile operation, making the knife convenient for both precise cutting and rougher tasks.
Scabbard: Leather — Classic leather scabbards provide reliable storage, blade protection and easy carrying.
Scope of application: advantages and limitations
Optimal tasks: Due to the versatile blade length and balanced shape, the knife is ideal for hiking, hunting, fishing, woodwork, cutting and processing products, as well as for use in the field. The damask blade perfectly copes with fine cutting, planing and precise working movements.
Collector's value: High aesthetics, handwork and the use of premium materials make this model an outstanding example for collectors.
Limitations: The knife is not recommended for heavy batoning, opening metal cans or chopping hard bones — very hard steel is afraid of extreme lateral loads and may get chipped. It is also not recommended for long-term contact with aggressively humid or salty environments without proper care.
Unique features and differences
An exclusive handle made of stabilized Karelian birch in a rich purple shade with a nickel silver frame — each handle is unique in its pattern and color.
Damask is not only the highest working qualities, but also respect for the historical traditions of gunsmiths, because damask blades have long been valued for their characteristic pattern and outstanding sharpness. Your knife is a continuation of this legacy.
The handmade work of the master ensures the individuality of each detail and the highest build quality.
Care recommendations
After use, wipe the blade dry and treat it with oils to avoid corrosion.
The handle does not require special care due to stabilization, additional oil treatment can optionally preserve the color saturation and gloss of the wood.
The knife should be stored in a leather sheath, avoiding prolonged contact with moisture.
We recommend sharpening the knife with high-quality stones or diamond fillets, avoiding cheap sharpeners.
Final recommendation
This knife is the choice of handmade connoisseurs, aesthetes and practitioners who are looking for a tool for tourism, hunting, fishing and universal active use in nature or at home, as well as for collectors who appreciate the beauty of materials and the historical heritage of bulat. It is especially valuable for those who respect the combination of refined aesthetics, practicality and durability, but it requires proper handling and regular maintenance. For extremely rough work, it is recommended to choose a knife with lower hardness and greater corrosion resistance.
