Careful analysis of properties and features
The steel of the blade is damask, hardness 65 HRC.Bulat is traditionally famous for its unique combination of high hardness, durability and excellent cutting edge retention. A hardness of 65 HRC guarantees excellent wear resistance: the knife remains sharp for a long time, even with intensive use. Damask has a characteristic viscosity — it not only cuts well, but is also resistant to discoloration with careful operation.
The handle material is black hornbeam.Hornbeam is a noble hard wood species characterized by high density and smooth texture. The black hornbeam is visually elegant, pleasant to the touch, and does not slip in the hand even when wet, which provides additional comfort and safety at work.
Dimensions and ergonomics.The compact 72 mm long blade (2.4 mm thick, 18 mm wide) and 90 mm handle make the Chibis knife a truly pocket companion, ideal for everyday urban wear (EDC), small outdoor jobs, and as a stylish accessory. It has a comfortable fit in the palm of your hand, and is light enough for permanent wear, including in a business suit.
Moisture resistance and corrosion resistance.Damask steel is moderately resistant to corrosion, but requires more careful maintenance than modern stainless alloys: regular wiping and oil treatment are recommended, especially after contact with moisture or aggressive media. Hornbeam is stable under standard operation, but it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to water.
Ease of maintenance.Due to the high hardness of the steel, the knife retains its sharpness for a long time, but for sharpening it will require the use of high—quality abrasives (stones, diamonds) and accuracy - the steel edge does not like rough handling, but with proper care it lasts for decades. Black hornbeam does not actually require special maintenance, it is enough to protect it from humidity fluctuations.
Design and uniqueness.A folding mechanism with a secure lock (the type of lock is not specified), a leather scabbard gives the accessory a complete status and makes it convenient to carry. Handmade work emphasizes the individuality of the product, and the combination of damask and rare wood is not only practical, but also a collector's pride.
Optimal tasks and areas of use
Ideal for:
- Urban EDC-carrying: opening packages, envelopes, small household tasks.
- Light work in nature — cutting food, pruning branches, minimal travel kit.
- Collectibles: the combination of damask and black hornbeam is an excellent addition to any private collection.
- A gift, a status accessory, is the perfect solution for connoisseurs of stylish and handmade items.
Limitations and features of care
Restrictions:
- It is not suitable for rough work (chopping, prying, heavy marching tasks) — the thickness and length of the blade are designed for delicate use.
- It does not tolerate prolonged exposure to moisture — it is important to carry out timely drying and oil treatment of the blade.
- Sharpening requires experience and precision, especially to preserve the unique damask pattern and cutting edge.
- After use, wipe dry, lubricate the blade with special oil if necessary.
- For the handle, avoid prolonged wetting and store in a dry place.
- To sharpen with a soft hand, only on finely abrasive stones.
Final recommendations
A folding knife with a damask blade and a black hornbeam handle is the choice for aesthetes, connoisseurs of tradition and handmade, as well as for those who are looking for a reliable and stylish knife for everyday tasks. It is irreplaceable in the collection, elegant in everyday use and perfect as a status gift. If long—lasting sharpness, aesthetics of natural materials and the rarity of the product are important to you, this knife will be your ideal companion. Other models are recommended for heavy field tests or rough work.
