Powder steel S390 MICROCLEAN

Powder steel S390 MICROCLEAN is a powder metallurgical high-speed steel of the third generation, which is made from exceptionally clean finely dispersed powder produced at a modern plant for the production of high-quality powder steels BÖHLER in Kapfenberg, Austria.

This alloy is expensive, belongs to the premium class with high hardness and complex mechanical and heat treatment. As a result, its hardness can reach up to 67-70 units according to Rockwell, which is distinguished by an aggressive cut and high operational characteristics.

Powder steel S390 is widely used for the production of high-performance tools (for example, in the automotive industry - clutches, camshaft flywheels; in metal cutting - drilling, thread cutting, gear cutting tools, broaching and broaching, end mills, saws; in cold metal working - various types of spindles thread knurling tools, etc.), i.e., where the high precision of the components is important, as well as the stability and duration of its use, therefore, the composition contains many alloying elements, the action of which is aimed at preserving the properties of steel in any conditions.

Also, S390 steel has proven itself in knife production, although not so long ago. From S390 steel, you can buy high-quality and reliable working and hunting knives of medium and small size, which will show themselves perfectly in cutting strong materials, for example, tendons and skins when processing game. Similar characteristics will be relevant for professional kitchen knives.

The production process of powder steel S390 MICROCLEAN looks like this:

The chemical composition of S390 MICROCLEAN steel is as follows:

• Carbon (C) is responsible for strength after heat treatment, i.e. provides hardness and strength;
• Chromium (Cr) - increases the hardening ability of steel, has a positive effect on corrosion resistance. In this alloy, the chromium content is small, so the knife blade requires care to protect it from rust. Chromium also increases wear resistance;
• Molybdenum (Mo) - allows you to increase the melting point, therefore, and preserve the quality of the blade at elevated temperatures. At the same time, the sword does not become fragile and fragile, with increased hardness - the steel becomes more elastic, resistance to chemical aggressive substances increases;
• Vanadium (V) – its presence indicates an increase in elasticity, wear resistance, and also provides inertness to chemical influences;
• Tungsten (W) – the high melting point of tungsten increases the stability of steel at high temperatures. It is the main alloying element of high-speed cutters;
• Cobalt (Co) is an expensive alloying additive that has a positive effect on heat resistance, also increases the hardness and wear resistance of the metal, while these parameters are preserved at high temperatures and mechanical loads.

Thus, the advantages became as follows:

• high red resistance, the steel behaves well during tempering, while it works without problems even at low temperatures;
• very high wear resistance;
• excellent compressive strength;
• high viscosity; impact properties;
• knives made of S390 steel have good machinability indicators, for example, grinding;
• good fatigue properties.

There are fewer disadvantages, but they are still there:

• corrosion resistance is not at the highest level, so the knife needs additional care, albeit minimal - wipe with petroleum jelly, which is sold in any pharmacy;
• high price due to the complexity of steel production.

A knife made of powder steel S390 Microclean is certainly not a cheap pleasure, but it is worth it and will be useful both for professional activities and for active hobbies, whether it is hunting, fishing, tourism or cooking.

*It should be remembered that if the knife is used for its intended purpose and with careful handling, the knife will serve you for a very, very long time.

G10 — in Pavel Honcharenko's handmade knives: quality, style, modernity
What kind of material is this?
G10 is a light and hard material characterized by a textured surface and special practicality. It is used to create handles on various types of knives - complex and integral, with additional elements.

The basis is a compound reinforced under pressure with fiberglass. The fibrous structure gives the material rigidity. In order to increase the important operational characteristics during the manufacture of handles, special strengthening chemical compounds are additionally added to the composition. The material is non-combustible, has higher strength characteristics - for bending, tearing and impact.
G10 is formed in layers. This allows you to paint the overlay in one or more colors, creating interesting visual effects of the product's multi-layering. Outwardly, it resembles micarta - another popular material from which the sheaths of RoS handmade knives are made.

Features of the production of overlays with G10
Most manufacturers subject finished G10 pads to sandblasting, which exposes the structure of the fiberglass. As a result, the handle acquires a rough surface, which prevents slipping in the hand and ensures comfortable and safe use of knives. After the finishing treatment, the surface of the pad may become dull. To restore a bright, spectacular appearance at the last stage of production, it is covered with oil or polished.

The craftsman uses G10 handle pads with various knife steels - ATS 34, CPM154CM, D2, 440C, CPM S30V, 40X13.

Advantages of the material
This modern material has the following advantages:

• easily withstands flexibility and stretching loads;
• has resistance to shock loads;
• does not absorb moisture;
• differs in high density;
• resistant to radiation and chemicals;
• has low electrical conductivity;
• does not dry out and does not deform;
• resistant to high temperatures.

Another advantage of this material is an excellent ratio of mechanical strength and light weight. This makes it possible to obtain strong linings with good operational characteristics that do not burden the knives.

High-quality and original inserts from G10 became a wonderful decoration of exclusive and unique knives of the Studio "Handmade Knives of Pavlo Honcharenko" (Ukraine), which offers to order and buy online store https://knife.net.ua

maple burl

A cap is a growth on a tree trunk, it has a much denser structure with a completely unique cut pattern.

The cap has high strength, the wood of the cap does not burn well, is well processed and polished.

The dimensions of the blanks are approximately 135-45-30 mm.

Bars of stabilized wood are great for creating standard through-mount and countersunk knife handles.
Also, stabilized maple sap is excellent for carving, creating miniatures, jewelry, as well as various pendants, amulets, toys and crafts.
It is convenient to work with a stabilized maple cap for both experienced craftsmen and beginners.
Stabilized wood of any color is straight, even bars of real wood - kapa maple impregnated with a special composition.
The wood stabilizer completely fills all small pores, thanks to which all the air and moisture come out of the wood, turning it into a polymerized bar of stabilized Karelian birch, only with improved properties.

Stabilized wood is many times heavier and much denser. It is not exposed to moisture, does not change its color under sunlight, remaining a much stronger and more reliable material.
All this makes stabilization an ideal material for creating objects that are exposed to all physical and climatic stresses - knife handles, cutters and various tools.

Stabilized maple sap is perfectly sanded, giving a surface as smooth as glass or stone. Without a coating in dry form, the stabilized bars have a faded appearance, but under the finishing compositions their bright deep texture is revealed.

For its unique beauty, the cap is called wooden malachite!

In general, the smaller the pattern and the larger the size of the cap, the more expensive it is.

The value of this unique material is told by a historical fact given in the book "Kapova Skrynka" (author Nadiya Perminova): "... in 1837, up to fifty rubles were paid for a cap growth of twenty pounds (a little more than 8 kg) ... the same amount was estimated thoroughbred bull at an agricultural exhibition.

Today, on the world market, the price of veneered wood (solid and veneer) is many times higher than the price of any other, including: oak, elm, walnut, mahogany and any exotic species.

The unique combination of material properties, limited stocks and the uniqueness of the cap pattern in each product ultimately determined the universally recognized, high aesthetic value and corresponding consumer price of products made of this wood, which is used in the decoration of the most luxurious interiors.

Stabilized pickled hornbeam

What is a sea hornbeam. Hornbeam deciduous tree and its unusual properties
Description
Characteristics of wood
Black hornbeam
Before using any types of fasteners, you need to pre-drill the material. It holds screws and nails perfectly, which is good for securing furniture joints and complex parts.

When using fresh wood in everyday life, it is recommended to cut and turn the product until the material is dry - in this form it is easier to process.

Despite its natural high density and wear resistance, hornbeam is considered a rather difficult and impractical breed, as it gets wet quickly and is prone to damage by fungus and other biological pathogens. It cannot be used without additional etching and decoration, and it is not suitable for outdoor work either. The twisted structure of the fibers and the low ability to glue do not allow hornbeam to be used as a structural building material: plywood or glued timber. It is not used for external works. Indoors, the hornbeam surface should be covered with protective impregnations and thick layers of varnish. Do not use the material in rooms with high humidity.

Fields and features of application
This wood finds its purpose where resistance to shock loads is required: in the manufacture of decorative elements, parts of mechanisms, sports items. It is used to produce:

• golf clubs, billiard cues;
• weaving boats;
• agricultural tools;
• bodies and elements of necks of violins, guitars, details of grand pianos, other musical instruments;
• cutting boards, knife handles;
• boxes, toys, souvenirs, frames for paintings, panels and photographs;
• furniture, parquet, interior design details.

Due to its noble light-pearl color and strength, hornbeam wood has a high artistic value and is used in the creation of mosaic designs, friezes and decorative elements.

Parts of propellers in aircraft construction are made from hornbeam.

On average, the price of 1 m³ of wood, depending on the manufacturer, is 645–800 dollars.

It is believed that furniture or decoration made of this type of wood relieves fatigue, provides physical strength, helps coordinate thoughts and actions, and gets rid of a bad mood.

Black hornbeam
The light structure of the tree with an understated natural pattern makes it attractive for the manufacture of various imitations. By the method of etching the material, black hornbeam is obtained, which in terms of properties and appearance is similar to ebony. Nigrozins are used for high-quality dyeing - special mixtures based on aniline, nitrobenzene and hydrochloric acid, dissolved in water or alcohol. They give the material a clean, bright color that is not afraid of direct sunlight. Professional etching involves coloring the entire thickness of the material through, rather than surface application of paint. It is not recommended to self-etch wood, because when using self-burning chemical dyes, it can lose strength, become loose or unevenly colored. Expertly made black hornbeam, imitated to ebony, has a very dark purple shade, which does not burn out and does not fade over time, does not smudge under mechanical impact on the surface. Black hornbeam is sold in small batches as small
