Detailed analysis of the characteristics and features of the knife
Blade steel: Damask
The blade of this folding knife is made of damask steel with an impressive hardness of 66 HRC. Damask has historically been valued for its unique combination of high strength, impressive wear resistance, and exceptional ability to hold a sharpener for a long time. Due to the dense coarse-grained pattern of the damask, the cutting edge is less prone to microcracks, and the surface pattern emphasizes the product's status as a handmade item and collector's value.
Blade shape and dimensions
Blade length β 105 mm, thickness β 2.6 mm, width β 24 mm. These parameters are optimal for urban EDC, tourist tasks, hunting (cutting small and medium game), outdoor activities and everyday life. The medium-length blade provides versatility: it is convenient to cut food, work with wood, perform neat cuts and small tasks.
Handle material: Black hornbeam
Hornbeam is one of the densest wood species, characterized by resistance to mechanical damage and high environmental friendliness. Black hornbeam not only looks elegant due to its deep color, but is also pleasant in the hand, does not slip even in humid conditions, does not absorb odors and is easy to clean. The ergonomics of the handle is designed for long-term operation without palm fatigue.
Wear resistance, hand grip and moisture resistance
Damask steel with a hardness of 66 HRC has a high resistance to wear, the blade retains its factory sharpening for a long time even with intensive use on hard materials (wood, leather, cables). Black hornbeam is not susceptible to cracking due to changes in humidity and temperature, and due to its natural structure, it "clings" well to the palm.
However, damask steel is sensitive to moisture and requires minimal maintenance: regular wiping and dry storage to avoid corrosion. The leather scabbard emphasizes the status of the product and provides convenient transportation.
Maintenance and care
Damask is easy to refine on fine-grained stones and pastes, but it requires attention: with insufficient care, pitting corrosion is possible. It is recommended to clean and wipe the blade dry after work, and lubricate it with oil regularly. The handle made of black hornbeam does not need special care β it is enough to periodically wipe it with a soft cloth, avoiding prolonged exposure to water.
Optimal application area
Tourism and outdoor activities β the versatility of size and durability allows you to use the knife in hiking, fishing, picnicking.
Hunting is a suitable option for the primary cutting of small and medium game.
Urban EDC β folding design, low weight and stylish appearance make the knife a convenient companion for every day.
Collectibles β bulat and black hornbeam, as well as handmade work make the knife a valuable gift for a connoisseur of high-quality products.
Restrictions and areas for which the knife is not suitable
It is not recommended for heavy work on metal, concrete, and opening canned food. The high hardness of damask steel implies brittleness under rough impact.
It is not intended for use in aggressive humid environments (constant contact with water, salt water) β corrosion may occur with improper care.
Is not the best choice for jobs that require prolonged cutting of very hard materials with a high risk of damage to the cutting edge.
Unique advantages and features
The historical heritage of bulat: each blade is unique in its pattern and properties.
The black hornbeam handle is a rarity among modern knives, a harmony of aesthetics and tactile comfort.
The high hardness of the blade (66 HRC) is a rarity for folding models, which gives outstanding retention of the cutting edge.
All the details are hand-crafted, which makes each knife individual and stand out in any collection.
To whom and for what purpose it is especially recommended
This knife is an ideal choice for those who appreciate the reliability, durability and aesthetics of handmade products. It is suitable for tourists, fishermen, hunters, collectors and just lovers of high-quality items with a historical character. It is not recommended for tasks involving extreme humidity and heavy rough impact. To preserve the appearance and properties of the blade for a long time, wipe it dry regularly and use steel oil.
