Steel of the blade – Damask (HRC 65): Damask steel with a hardness of 65 HRC is the pinnacle of manual blacksmithing. Due to its high hardness, the knife acquires outstanding wear resistance and retains the sharpness of the cutting edge for a long time, even with intensive use. Bulat has historically been known for its unique micro-structure combining hardness and flexibility, which avoids chipping and fracturing under normal loads. However, such hardness requires more careful handling, especially with lateral loads: bulat does not tolerate excessive impacts and can be sensitive to twisting.Analysis of knife properties and features
Resistance to moisture and corrosion:Damask steel demonstrates good corrosion resistance, but to completely prevent rust, it is recommended to regularly wipe and dry the blade after contact with moisture, especially during long-term storage.
Ease of sharpening and maintenance:Due to the special features of the damask structure, the blade can be restored to razor sharpness, however, the sharpening process requires care and preferably the use of water stones or professional services to preserve the unique surface pattern.
Handle – Karelian birch (red): Karelian birch is one of the most beautiful and valuable natural materials for handles. It not only looks impressive due to its pronounced texture and bright color, but also provides excellent grip: after processing, the wood is resistant to slipping even in a wet hand, pleasant to the touch, has natural warmth and does not cause discomfort at low temperatures. High-quality impregnation protects the material from moisture and cracking.
Blade shape and design features
Blade Shape – Normal Blade:The classic shape is as versatile as possible: the straight line of the butt and the slightly pronounced abdomen allow for perfect control of cutting movements. This geometry is optimal for cutting and planing, as well as for precise, precise manipulations, whether it's cutting meat, slicing vegetables, preparing fish or woodworking.
Dimensions: The blade thickness of 3.5 mm ensures durability and sufficient margin for lateral loads, the length of 128 mm provides convenience for both small and more serious work, the width of 31 mm is the perfect balance of maneuverability and control.
The handle:The proportions (125 mm) allow you to confidently hold the knife in any grip, and the absence of excessive massiveness makes the knife convenient for long-term work without fatigue.
The scabbard: The leather scabbard reliably protects the blade, is great for everyday wear and storage, emphasizing the classic style of the product.
Scope of application, advantages and limitations
Optimal application:
-
Daily use in nature, tourism, hunting and fishing: cutting, slicing, cooking, precise carpentry tasks.
- Collectibles — a handmade damask knife with a Karelian birch handle is a true gem in any collection.
- A gift for connoisseurs of tradition and handwork — the shape, materials and manufacturing technology have become the epitome of craftsmanship and aesthetics.
- It is not intended for chopping operations (batoning, rough opening of bones, chipping) — the blade may chip.
- It is not recommended for intensive work on metal, bones or hard plastics — damask is better suited for cutting and planing.
- Marine conditions and prolonged contact with salt water require particularly careful maintenance to avoid corrosion.
Care recommendations
- Wipe the blade dry after each use, especially when working in humid conditions.
- Periodically lubricate the surface with oil for weapons or special oil for knives (especially during long-term storage).
- Sharpen carefully using fine-grained water stones, avoiding "aggressive" sharpeners.
- The Karelian birch handle should be treated from time to time with natural oil (for example, linseed oil) to preserve its rich color and protect it from moisture.
- Keep the knife in a dry place, avoiding prolonged contact with moisture inside the sheath.
