Maral (pattern welded damascus, birch bark handle)
Description
A hunting knife manufactured by Zlatoust, made of the so-called hammered damascus. Zlatoust pattern welded damascus blades are distinguished by high quality and unique aesthetics. A birch bark handle (bark rings strung on a tang) finished with a crossguard on one side and a textolite head on the other. Such handles are as light as a feather, and in winter they are "warmer" compared to wooden handles. However, they are not impregnated with anything and you should avoid getting them wet. There is a hole at the end of the handle that allows you to attach a lanyard or wrist loop. An original blade with a high hollow grind and a false blade starting in one third of the length of the knife and running to the very end. Under the handle, on the blade, there is an engraved inscription: "Росоружие Златоуст" and the manufacturer's logo. Leather sheath, black, with the manufacturer's logo and inscription embossed on the back of the loop Златоуст.
The Zlatoust company is one of several Russian knife manufacturers widely known outside Russia. It boasts several hundred years of tradition in the production of cold weapons. Gilding, in which the Uralic Zlatoust is the undisputed leader among Russian companies, looks exceptionally well on dark damascus blades.
