The blade is made of damask steel with an impressive hardness of 65 HRC, which guarantees exceptional sharpness and long-lasting retention of the cutting edge. Bulat is known for its complex internal structure, which provides not only operational sharpness, but also special resistance to discoloration when used correctly. The shape of the blade is a classic clip—point, historically used both in hunting, as well as in tourist and household tasks: the pointed tip facilitates piercing and fine work, and the concave line of the blade makes the knife versatile for both cutting and precise manipulation. The butt thickness of 2.4 mm and the blade length of 133 mm create a balanced ratio between strength and high handling. The handle combines stabilized Karelian birch (brown) and black hornbeam, both premium materials. The stabilized birch is resistant to moisture, temperature changes and biological influences, and the black hornbeam gives the handle a noble appearance and additional durability. The scabbard is made of high-quality leather, which ensures reliable fixation of the knife and safety when wearing.
Scope and strengths
It is optimal for: hunting, hiking, camping, household tasks, and is also appreciated by collectors due to the uniqueness of the damask blade and the exquisite handle.
Cutting and piercing work:Clip-point is an ideal choice for cutting game, cooking, making precise cuts and woodwork.
Confident retention:The combined handle is anatomically comfortable, eliminating slipping even in wet conditions and during prolonged use.
Resistance to moisture: stabilized Karelian birch and black hornbeam do not absorb water, do not warp or crack with changes in temperature and humidity.
Wear resistance and durability:Damask steel with a hardness of 65 HRC provides excellent cutting edge durability, as well as resistance to wear when handled correctly.
Ease of maintenance:Damask keeps sharpening longer than conventional steels, but requires careful and regular maintenance: it is recommended to use only high-quality sharpening systems for sharpening, avoiding cheap abrasives.
Restrictions and recommendations for use
It is not recommended to use it for: heavy power work on bones, metals, chopping or prying hard materials — damask with high hardness can be sensitive to shock loads.
Corrosion resistance:Damask steel requires mandatory wiping and drying after contact with moisture, especially during long hikes or work in damp conditions. Do not allow the knife to be stored in a wet sheath for a long time.
Care of the handle: The stabilized wood does not require oil treatment, but it is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure of the handle to water.
Unique strengths and legacy
A damask blade is not only the highest quality of cutting and a unique appearance (the surface pattern is always unique), but also a symbol of historical craftsmanship dating back to the best traditions of blade making. The combined handle combines the northern charm of Karelian birch and the nobility of black hornbeam, which emphasizes the handmade work of the master and distinguishes the product from the background of serial knives both in aesthetics and ergonomics.
Brief recommendation and conclusion
This knife is ideal for hunters, tourists, collectors and handmade connoisseurs who value long-lasting sharpness, unique materials, comfort in the hand and aesthetics. Insufficient suitability for heavy power work and the necessary attention to the care of bulat are the key points to consider.
For those who are looking for a versatile, reliable and effective tool for nature and collection, as well as ready to pay attention to proper care of bulat and wood, this is the true choice of a connoisseur.
