Taiozhny-2 (gilded pattern welded damascus, stabilized karelian birch handle)
Description
A beautifully decorated hunting knife from Zlatoust limited edition, made of forged damascus steel. Zlatoust damascus steel is distinguished by its high quality and exceptional aesthetics, and this specimen belongs to a "high-end" series of products. Unlike other gold-plated Zlatoust damascus knives, the decorative gold plating is applied to both sides of the blade. The handle is made of stabilized, selected wood with an exceptionally aesthetic grain pattern. The handle fittings also differ from standard fittings. At the end of the handle there is a ball with a hole allowing for attaching a lanyard or wrist loop. The knife is sold in an ornate box, and also includes a black leather sheath embossed with the manufacturer's logo and the inscription Златоуст. All photos were taken in natural light without flash, and all show the same specific item offered for sale (real photo).
Zlatoust is one of several Russian knife manufacturers known widely beyond the borders of Russia. It boasts a centuries-old tradition in the production of edged weapons. The gold plating, in which Ural Zlatoust is the undisputed leader among Russian companies, presents exceptionally well on dark damascus blades.
