Blade steel — damask, hardness HRC 65:
The blade is made of damask steel with a high hardness of 65 HRC, which guarantees exceptional wear resistance, long-term retention of sharpness and a unique appearance due to the characteristic damask pattern. Bulat has been valued for centuries as a steel for elite weapons and tools: in modern knives, it is a testament to genuine handwork, individuality and heritage of traditions.
Handle material and ergonomics — black hornbeam and duralumin:
The handle is made of natural black hornbeam, known for its durability, moisture resistance and pleasant texture. Duralumin inserts give the structure additional resistance to mechanical stress and moisture protection. The materials provide a reliable grip even during prolonged work in wet conditions, do not slip, do not absorb odors and are easy to clean.
Blade Shape — Drop Point:
The classic Drop Point shape is ideal for kitchen work — versatile, safe to handle and provides excellent cutting control. This geometry is optimal for chopping, slicing, and chopping vegetables, meat, and fish.
Blade and hilt dimensions:
The blade is 223 mm long, 44 mm wide and 1.8 mm thick — a combination that gives the knife a balance between maneuverability and performance, allowing you to make both fine cuts and confident cuts. The 120 mm long handle fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, suitable for different hand sizes.
Scope of application and advantages
It is ideal as a basic kitchen knife — for slicing, chopping, cutting vegetables, meat, fish, fruits.
Suitable for professional and home cooking, it will be a worthy choice for chefs who appreciate handmade work and unique materials.
Due to its hardness and damask structure, the blade retains its sharp cutting quality for a long time, requires minimal straightening and does not become dull even during intensive use.
The hornbeam handle with duralumin is resistant to moisture, is not subject to warping and cracking, and is suitable for daily use.
Damask provides not only practicality, but also aesthetic uniqueness: each blade is one of a kind due to its patterned structure.
Limitations and specific points
It is not recommended to use it for chopping bones, frozen foods and other superhard materials — although bulat is hard, it can be sensitive to shock loads (chipping, discoloration).
Bulat requires careful care: after use, it is recommended to wash and wipe thoroughly dry, do not leave in a humid environment to avoid the appearance of microcorrosion.
Not suitable for breaking, leveraging, or extreme off-site tasks.
It is better not to wash in the dishwasher — excessive humidity and aggressive chemicals can damage both the blade and the handle.
Knife care
It is recommended to use wooden or plastic cutting boards.
After work, rinse with warm water, do not use abrasive sponges, wipe dry.
Periodically apply a small amount of mineral oil to the blade, especially during long-term storage.
The hornbeam handle does not require special treatment, but if it is heavily soiled, it is enough to wipe it with a soft, damp cloth.
Keep in the genuine leather sheath that comes with the kit — they provide additional protection.
Brief recommendation and uniqueness
This knife is the choice for connoisseurs of handmade, authentic materials and high productivity in the kitchen. It is suitable for professionals and gourmets who want to get not just a kitchen tool, but a vivid manifestation of individuality and traditions of knife making in every detail.
It is not recommended for heavy work outside the kitchen and for tasks requiring extreme shock loads. It is optimal where precision, control and durability of the cutting edge are important. Your kitchen is worthy of a chef's knife that combines aesthetics, technology and the history of bulat!
