Steel of the blade β Damask (HRC 65): Damask steel is famous for its unique balance of high hardness (65 HRC) and excellent cutting ability. The blade made of this material perfectly holds sharpening, allows you to cut thinly and aggressively, maintaining perfect sharpness for a long time. The wear resistance of damask is very high, which makes the product durable even with regular use in difficult conditions. Important: Bulat requires preventive maintenance to prevent corrosion, as it does not have a high stainless ability.
Handle material β stabilized Karelian birch: The stabilized Karelian birch wood is a premium material with a spectacular texture and a deep brown hue. Thanks to the special stabilization, the handle is resistant to moisture, temperature changes and does not deform over time. This material is not only aesthetically attractive, but also pleasant in the hand, has a good grip even with wet palms, does not slip and is comfortable in any grip.
Geometry and dimensions: The 105 mm long and 2.4 mm thick blade with a Drop Point shape is versatile β the tip is positioned along the central axis, which ensures the strength of the tip (suitable for precise punctures) and high cutting efficiency (convenient for skinning, cutting, slicing products). The width of 20 mm ensures cutting stability, and the length of the blade is balanced for everyday and field tasks.
Folding design: The compact knife with a handle length of 130 mm is convenient to carry in a pocket or on a belt, and the presence of a leather scabbard adds stylish protection and ease of carrying.
Features and limitations: Bulat does not tolerate prolonged contact with aggressive environments (salt water, acids), so the knife is not recommended for sea fishing and work in humid tropical conditions without regular maintenance. It is not intended for power work (chopping, breaking of hard materials) β damask steel can chip under excessive load due to its high hardness.
Optimal application and usage scenarios
This knife is an excellent solution for daily wear, camping, hiking, hunting and fishing (except for sea).

The compact folding design and elegant handle make the knife an attractive option for collectors and connoisseurs of real manual labor.
