Detailed analysis of properties and features
-
Blade steel: damask, hardness 65 HRC
Damask is known for its high hardness, outstanding cutting ability and wear resistance. The hardness of 65 HRC guarantees a long retention of sharpness — the knife will stay sharp for a long time even with intensive use. Bulat is traditionally valued for its beautiful structure and excellent mechanical properties: strength, resistance to the formation of cracks and fractures during proper operation. However, bulat requires careful handling and timely maintenance, as it is susceptible to corrosion during prolonged contact with moisture. -
Handle material: birch bark
The handle made of natural birch bark is famous for its warm and pleasant-to-touch coating, provides a firm grip on the palm even in conditions of high humidity or when working with gloves. Birch bark is light, "warm" to the touch, has a natural springiness, which reduces brush fatigue during prolonged work. However, it requires careful handling of open flames and regular maintenance, such as periodic oil or wax treatment to maintain its water—repellent properties. -
Blade shape: Gut Hook (removable with hook)
The classic skin-removable shape with a gut hook makes this knife an indispensable assistant when cutting and skinning a carcass. The hook allows you to make incisions accurately and quickly without the risk of damaging the insides or the skin. The main cutting edge is suitable for precise, precise cuts and cutting operations. -
Physical parameters
Blade length — 117 mm, width — 35 mm, thickness — 2.4 mm: the ideal ratio for maneuverability during cutting operations without unnecessary heaviness. The handle length (117mm) provides a comfortable full grip for a medium-sized hand. -
Wear resistance and care
Thanks to the damask steel, the knife has high wear resistance and does not require sharpening for a long time. However, due to the hardness, the use of high-quality abrasives and accuracy will be required to restore sharpness. The birch bark handle and steel require careful care: it is not recommended to leave the knife in a humid environment, wipe it dry after use and periodically lubricate the blade (and handle) with specialized oil. -
Moisture resistance and corrosion resistance
Bulat requires care: the metal is susceptible to corrosion during prolonged contact with moisture. Birch bark is a fairly moisture-resistant material, but when wet for a long time it requires drying in gentle conditions (without heating).
Scope and main tasks
- Optimal: hunting (skinning, butchering), hiking, fishing, camping trips, game preparation. The gut hook is ideal for careful skin cuts and fine detail work.
- It doesn't fit well: woodwork (planing, chopping), heavy household outdoor work, forceful cutting of hard materials (bone, metal), wide-range kitchen tasks requiring a universal blade.
Unique features and advantages
- Handmade — each piece is unique, which is appreciated by collectors and connoisseurs.
- Traditional materials (bulat, birch bark) and classic hunting uniforms are an emphatic respect for the historical traditions of Russian knives.
- The high wear resistance and aesthetics of the damask blade structure are not only practical, but also a source of pride for the owner.
- It is equipped with a durable leather sheath, which ensures safe storage and transportation.
Care recommendations
- Wipe the blade dry after use, especially after contact with blood and moisture.
- Periodically lubricate the blade and handle with oil or wax to prevent corrosion and drying of the birch bark.
- Keep the knife in a leather sheath only in a dry condition.
- Use high-quality abrasives for sharpening, avoid overheating of the cutting edge.
Summary of the final recommendation
This skin—removing knife with a damask blade and a birch bark handle is an ideal choice for hunters, fishermen and connoisseurs of classic materials. It will become an indispensable tool for cutting game, skinning and field work, as well as a worthy specimen in the collection of a connoisseur of handmade. The knife is less suitable for everyday household cutting, chopping and heavy universal tasks. It is recommended for those who appreciate aesthetics, traditions and the highest operational qualities with proper care.
