Picnic (gilded pattern welded damascus, birch bark handle)

A hunting knife manufactured by Zlatoust, made of forged Damascus steel. Zlatoust Damascus steel is distinguished by its high quality and exceptional aesthetics. The handle is made of birch bark (rings of bark strung onto the tang), ending with a bolster on one side and a textalite pommel on the other. Such handles are light as a feather, and in winter they are "warmer" compared to wooden ones. However, they are not impregnated with anything and should be avoided getting wet. At the end of the handle there is a hole allowing for attaching a lanyard or wrist loop. The blade has a high concave grind and is decorated on one side with a gold-plated hunting motif using galvanic method. On the other side, under the handle, on the blade there is a gold-plated inscription: "Rosoruzhie Zlatoust" and the manufacturer's logo. Leather sheath, black, push-in, with the manufacturer's embossed logo and inscription on the backZlatoust.

Zlatoust is one of several Russian knife manufacturers known widely outside of Russia. It boasts a several hundred-year-old tradition in the field of edged weapon production. Gilding, in which Ural Zlatoust is the undisputed leader among Russian companies, looks exceptionally good on dark Damascus blades.
