Detailed analysis of properties and features
The blade is made of damask steel with an impressive hardness of 65 HRC. Damask is famous for its unique structural structure: due to its high carbon content, real damask steel combines exceptional sharpness and durability of the cutting edge. The hardness of 65 HRC provides excellent wear resistance — the blade retains its sharpness for a long time even with intensive use, allowing you to work with a wide variety of materials without frequent overfilling.
However, bulat is sensitive to moisture: steel does not have stainless properties, so it requires careful treatment and regular maintenance, especially when used in a humid environment.
The handle is made of stabilized Karelian birch (impregnated with a special compound for resistance to moisture and biological effects) with elements of nickel silver. The stabilized birch is not only striking in aesthetics — the rare deep blue color makes each specimen unique — but also practical: the handle is resistant to deformation, cracking and water exposure. Nickel-silver inserts provide additional durability and sophistication of appearance.
The special shape and texture of the wood ensure a firm grip even with wet or frozen hands. The guard prevents the palm from slipping onto the blade, making the work safer.
The classic shape of the blade (Normal Blade) is universal: the straight line of the butt and the smooth descent to the tip allow you to perform a wide range of work — from cutting and planing to piercing. This blade is suitable for precise cuts, cutting, carpentry and household tasks. The blade thickness of 2.4 mm and length of 135 mm ensure a balance between strength and durability: the knife is not prone to breakage even under load, while remaining light and maneuverable.
The set includes a leather scabbard that protects the blade and makes it easy to transport.Optimal application and limitations
