The steel of the blade is Damask, hardness 65 HRC: The blade is made of high–hardness damask with an outstanding hardness index of 65 HRC. This ensures exceptional sharpness and long-term preservation of the cutting edge without the need for frequent sharpening. Bulat is famous for its unique microstructure: the combination of high strength and elasticity seriously reduces the risk of chipping and damage, even with intensive use. The special value of damask is noted by connoisseurs of traditional weapons and knife making — such a metal has been considered a standard among craftsmen for centuries. Handle material – Karelian birch with bronze elements, color – purple: Karelian birch is a rare and expensive wood with an expressive texture and excellent tactile impact. It has a light “tenacious” effect even in humid conditions, and thanks to special treatment it becomes more resistant to moisture and wear. The bronze inserts not only emphasize the status of the product, but also add additional structural strength, enriching the visual perception of the knife. Ergonomics and control: The handle length is 130 mm and the anatomical shape allows you to hold the knife with confidence both in your bare hand and in a glove. The optimal balance of blade length (140 mm) and handle makes the knife convenient for most typical tasks, including long-term work without fatigue. The shape of the blade is Drop Point: The versatile geometry of the drop point is ideal for most household, hiking, and hunting tasks. The slightly raised butt line ensures the strength of the tip and gives excellent control when working "on the tip" or precise cuts. The blade thickness of 3.5 mm and width of 30 mm guarantee a confident penetrating and cutting ability without loss of strength. Wear resistance, maintenance and corrosion resistance:Bulat demonstrates excellent wear resistance and blunts extremely slowly, which makes this knife a reliable companion for long hikes and practical use. However, traditional steel is less resistant to aggressive moisture than modern stainless steels, and it is recommended to thoroughly wipe and lubricate the blade after use. Karelian birch also needs periodic oil treatment to maintain color saturation and protect it from drying out. The leather scabbard provides reliable transportation and additional protection.
