Technical analysis and unique properties
The steel of the blade is damask, hardness 65 HRC.Damask steel has historically been renowned for its unsurpassed wear resistance and long-term retention of sharpness, and a hardness index of 65 HRC guarantees the highest cutting edge strength. This blade is able to perfectly cope with long and complex tasks without frequent sharpening, it is suitable for woodwork, cutting dense materials, butchering meat and solving tactical tasks. However, it is worth remembering that bulat is less ductile than modern powder or some stainless steels: with excessive transverse loads or improper picking, the cutting edge may chip.
Optimal conditions of use.Bulat provides pronounced resistance to wear, but is inferior in resistance to moisture and corrosion to modern stainless steels, which means that the knife requires more careful care, regular wiping, drying and preservation to preserve the properties and aesthetics of the blade.
The shape of the blade is Spear Point. The symmetrical Spear Point is versatile: the tip is centered along the axis of the knife, which is ideal for precise injections and punctures, while the wide butt and uniform narrowing to the tip ensure high strength and cutting control. This form is great for tourism, hunting (especially for skinning or butchering), tactical tasks, as well as universal household applications.
The handle is black hornbeam and nickel silver. Polished black hornbeam is famous for its hardness, moisture resistance and high aesthetics – its deep color and texture emphasize the premium quality of the product. The nickel silver inserts add an expressive accent and resistance to mechanical stress. The ergonomics of the handle and the non-slip hornbeam ensure a secure hold of the knife even in wet or cold conditions, allowing you to work with maximum comfort and safety.
Dimensions.The blade length of 150 mm and thickness of 3 mm make the knife convenient for most field and household tasks – it is not too heavy, perfectly balances in the hand and is convenient for long-term work. The leather scabbard reliably protects the blade and provides easy transportation.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
Optimal tasks:
- Hiking and Survival: Versatility, high durability and wear resistance make this knife an excellent hiking companion.
- Hunting and fishing: convenient for cutting, chopping and opening trophies, especially thanks to the sharp point of the Spear Point.
- Collectibles: materials, handwork and expressive appearance make the knife a valuable exhibit.
- Household and household use: Suitable for all jobs where a sharp, durable and beautiful tool is required.
- It is not recommended to use it for cutting bones, picking or working with metal objects – the cutting edge may be damaged due to the high hardness of the steel.
- For prolonged exposure to humid or aggressive environments (salt water, marine climate), careful maintenance is required to prevent corrosion.
Care recommendations
The damask blade requires regular wiping and drying after use, especially when in contact with moisture or organic matter. For long-term storage, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of mineral oil. The handle made of black hornbeam is resistant to moisture, but does not like prolonged exposure to water – dry the knife after work, avoid the ingress of aggressive chemicals. Leather scabbards also require periodic waxing or skin cream treatment to maintain elasticity and appearance.
Brief recommendations and conclusion
This knife is the choice of an enthusiast who appreciates handmade art, aesthetics and operational reliability. It will become an indispensable assistant for tourists, hunters, collectors and connoisseurs of premium materials. It is especially important for those who are able and willing to pay proper attention and care to the instrument. It is not recommended for those who are looking for an "unattended" knife or plan to use it in an aggressively humid environment without the possibility of processing.
