Detailed analysis of characteristics and features
Blade steel: Bulat
Damask steel has long been famous not only for its historical heritage, but also for its outstanding performance properties. The hardness level of 65 HRC ensures fantastic sharpness and long-lasting retention of the cutting edge. This blade exhibits exceptional resistance to wear and mechanical damage: even with active use, the blade retains perfect sharpening for a long time. Bulat is almost as strong as modern premium steels, and the unique pattern on the surface gives each knife its uniqueness and aesthetic completeness, emphasizing the handmade work of the master.
Damask is well protected from corrosion, but it requires careful care: regular cleaning and periodic lubrication with mineral oil will prevent rust from appearing in conditions of high humidity or after contact with acids (for example, lemon, tomatoes).
Handle material: Karelian birch, green
Karelian birch is a standard of natural beauty and durability. Due to the special fiber structure and impregnation, the handle becomes resistant to moisture and fits perfectly in the hand, does not slip even in wet palms. The green color adds brightness and personality to the product, and the characteristic natural pattern of each handle makes the knife one of a kind. Karelian birch is pleasant to the touch and comfortable for long—term work, but it is not recommended for prolonged contact with aggressive media (for example, salt or household chemicals) - the wood requires basic care: cleaning and, if necessary, wax or oil treatment.
Blade shape and dimensions: Drop Point
With a length of 128 mm and a thickness of 3.5 mm, the classic Drop Point shape is versatile and practical. Due to the high raised line of the butt, the knife is easy to control, the cutting edge bends smoothly, which is optimal for most jobs: from cutting food and meat to skinning and minor woodwork. The Drop Point is a balance between piercing and cutting functions, further enhanced by a durable, break—resistant tip.
The dimensions make it convenient to use the knife even with a glove, and the handle length of 125 mm provides a reliable grip for hands of any build.
Secure hold and ergonomics
The ergonomic handle made of Karelian birch, well-thought-out shape, optimal balance and rough surface make holding as comfortable as possible: the knife does not slip even when working with wet or greasy hands. This is especially important in nature, in tourism and hunting, when conditions are often far from ideal.
Ease of sharpening and maintenance
Damask steel, on the one hand, requires minimal sharpening in domestic use due to its high sharpness retention, on the other hand, it is recommended to use diamond or ceramic abrasives to restore the cutting edge. A simple steel musat may not be enough. Care is reduced to regular cleaning and simple preventive measures against corrosion — damask and wood, with due attention, have been used for decades.
