Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
Steel of the blade is damask (hardness 65 HRC): Damask is known for outstanding hardness reaching 65 HRC, high wear resistance and excellent ability to maintain the sharpness of the cutting edge for a long time. This steel perfectly copes with a wide range of work on wood, leather and products. Bulat is a material with a historical heritage: it has been used for centuries to make elite blades, famous for their combination of flexibility and strength. However, the high hardness makes the blade slightly more sensitive to rough impacts and lateral overloads (it is not recommended to use it as a crowbar or tesla).
Blade shape — clip-point (133x32x2.4 mm): A classic hunting shape with a lowering of the butt line to the tip (a characteristic "clip"), which provides excellent tip handling and cutting versatility. The Clip-point is ideal for precision work, cutting, skinning, slicing meat and food, as well as small household tasks in tourism and outdoors.
Handle — stabilized wood (black hornbeam, amber Karelian birch) + nickel silver: The use of black hornbeam and stabilized Karelian birch guarantees durability, moisture resistance and a pleasant tactile sensation. The stabilized Karelian birch is not subject to deformation, is resistant to changes in humidity and temperature, and gives an exclusive appearance thanks to its unique amber pattern. The guard and nickel silver inserts complement the aesthetics and enhance the overall grip reliability. The handle fits perfectly in the hand, does not slip even in wet conditions — it is optimal for long-term operation.
Scabbard — genuine leather: They emphasize the high status of the knife and ensure its safety, preventing corrosion and damage during transportation.
Care features: Steel requires careful care: after work, it is recommended to wipe the blade dry, periodically lubricate with a thin layer of oil to protect against corrosion — despite its good resistance to moisture, steel is not completely stainless steel. For sharpening, you need a high—quality stone - the blade keeps sharpening for a long time, but it requires accuracy and precision when restoring the cutting edge. The handle does not require special care: the stabilized Karelian birch is resistant to moisture and dirt, can be wiped with a damp cloth without aggressive chemicals.; nickel silver is easy to polish.
Optimal tasks and application conditions
Hunting (butchering and skinning, precise cuts)
Tourism and active recreation (universal everyday tasks in nature)
A gift for connoisseurs of knives and classic materials
Limitations and possible disadvantages
It is not intended for heavy woodwork (chopping, opening metal cans, etc.) and as an assembly tool
Steel requires maintenance: it is not recommended to store in a humid environment and leave the blade uncleaned after work
High hardness — slightly more difficult sharpening than that of soft steels
Unique advantages and aesthetics
Handmade — each knife is unique in the pattern of the blade and handle
Exclusive materials (bulat, stabilized birch, nickel silver) emphasize the status of the owner
Optimal balance between ergonomics, durability and aesthetics
Conclusion and recommendations
This knife is an ideal choice for hunters, tourists, collectors and anyone who appreciates handmade work, exclusive materials and a combination of the historical traditions of damask steel with modern wood stabilization technologies. It is especially good for precision work and universal use in nature or in everyday life, and its appearance will become a real decoration of any collection. It is not recommended to use for heavy construction tasks and in conditions of constant high humidity without proper maintenance.
