Taiga (gilded pattern welded damascus, stabilized wood handle blue)

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 stabilized Karelian birch, one of the more expensive types of stabilized wood, and is capped on both ends with pieces of textolite. At the end of the handle there is a hole allowing for the attachment of a lanyard or wrist strap. A beautiful, massive clip point blade with a partially ground ricasso and a 7-centimeter saw is decorated on one side with a gold-plated drawing. On the other side, under the handle, on the blade, there is a gold-plated inscription: "Росоружие Златоуст" and the manufacturer's logo. The handle is ricasso-less on the blade side, and the blade at the base has blunted areas for the thumb and index finger on both the blade and ricasso sides. A black leather sheath with the manufacturer's logo and inscription embossed on it:Златоуст.

Zlatoust is one of several Russian knife manufacturers known widely outside of Russia. It boasts a centuries-old tradition in the production of edged weapons. The gilding, in which the Ural Zlatoust is the undisputed leader among Russian companies, looks exceptionally well on dark Damascus blades.
