Powder steel M398
BOHLER M398 MICROCLEAN powder steel is a new martensitic steel from the Swedish-Austrian concern Bohler-Uddeholm, which was developed and started to be produced in 2019. The increased content of Chromium provides it with good corrosion resistance, and the increased content of Vanadium provides the steel with extremely high wear resistance. The carbon content increased by 30% compared to its predecessor M390 steel and gave it a hardness of 63-64 units on the Rockwell scale. Today, steel M398 is considered one of the best powder stainless machines, which speaks for itself not only its characteristics, but also its price, which is quite high. Accordingly, be prepared for the fact that the cost of the finished knife cannot be low.

M398 powder steel is produced in accordance with European standards and has the following chemical composition and microstructure (considered in comparison with its predecessor M390 steel):

Carbon (C, Carbon): is one of the main parts of the steel production process, improves edge retention and increases viscosity; increases hardness and wear resistance.

Silicon (Si, Silicon) and Manganese (Mn, Manganese): used as standard deoxidizers and degassers to remove oxygen during metal melting, increase strength.

Chromium (Cr, Chromium): increases corrosion resistance (at values >11% makes the alloy rust-free), increases hardness and density.

Molybdenum (Mo, Molybdenum): increases hardness, strength, calcination and density; improves machinability and corrosion resistance.

Vanadium (V, Vanadium): increases strength, wear resistance, increases density and viscosity; increases corrosion resistance by increasing the oxide film; vanadium carbide inclusions are very hard. The presence of this metal in steel indicates its quality.

Tungsten (W, Tungsten): is the most refractory metal of all, used to add strength and viscosity, improves firing; retains hardness at high temperatures.

Due to the higher amount of primary carbides in M398 steel (about 30% by volume), the hardness, wear resistance and compressive strength of M398 are significantly increased.

The following properties are also characteristic of M 398 steel:

- High level of corrosion resistance;
- High strength;
- extremely high wear resistance;
- High stability during heat treatment;
- good grinding;
- good polishing;
- High flammability and compressive strength.
Thus, the M398 Powder Steel Knives have exclusive handmade knives. They have excellent anti-corrosion properties and do not react with most alkalis and acids, that is, these knives do not require special care, which makes them a huge plus when used in nature, hunting, fishing and/or in extreme conditions*. Perhaps the only disadvantage of knives made of M398 steel is their cost, which is quite high and you have to be prepared for it.

It is worth remembering that when using a knife for its intended purpose and with careful handling, the knife will serve you for a very, very long time.

Tamarind

Another "delegate" from the very numerous subfamily of Cesalpinia, but the only representative of the genus Tamarindus - tamarind (Tamarindus) originally comes from the bowels of the Black Continent. But thanks to its special properties, grateful and interested consumers spread it on almost all continents. It is grown practically in the entire equatorial, tropical and subtropical zone of Central and Latin America (introduced in the 16th century), in many Asian countries. The tree withstands even a few degrees below zero Celsius - this is what limits the northern and southern zones of its cultivation.

Tamarind is especially popular and respected in India, and many people around the world know it as the "Indian date". Accordingly, he has many names. In Malay it is svi boye, in Malaysia it is called asam. In Indonesia it is called asem, in the Philippines - "sampalok". Siyambala is Sinhala, Chintachetta in Telugu, Kuli in Malayalam. In Kannada, tamarind is called hunase, in Malagasy - voamadilo. The same term in Vietnamese is me. Thais call it ma-hkam. Tamarind is the symbol of the Thai province of Phetchabun and the official tree of the Cuban city of Santa Clara.

Tamarind is a slow-growing tree with a wide spreading crown, reaching a height of 25 meters. An amazing plant - it is both deciduous and evergreen, depending on the conditions. Where there are no dry seasons - the leaves do not fall, in harsher conditions the "smart" plant drops them. The place of growth has practically no effect on the structure of wood and its quality. It has a dense red core and light, soft yellow sapwood, which is of no interest to woodworkers. Instead, the nuclear part is considered very valuable. And rightly so, very hard and dense (specific gravity greater than one) has a rich red color, which has interesting color fluctuations and a unique texture. It is considered an ideal material for the production of floor coverings due to its hardness and high wear resistance.

But since the main benefit that the tamarind gives is not the wood, but its fruits, it, like the hen that lays the golden eggs, is rarely cut down for lumber and firewood. Therefore, tamarind wood, as well as products from it - primarily parquet - are quite rare. In addition, the relatively small diameters of the trunk - less than half a meter and its tendency to curvature make it difficult to produce long-length lumber, so a massive board made of tamarind is even more rare than artificial parquet. Despite its prevalence throughout the world. They also make furniture from tamarind, which is solid, durable and beautiful.

Tamarind seeds yield "amber" oil, which is used in varnishes for artists - it is used to cover paintings and wooden sculptures. Aborigines use wood for making plows, wheels, and tools, using its high strength. And they even burn it on charcoal.

Tamarind is propagated mostly artificially - by growing rootstocks from seeds or vegetatively. In the first case, fruiting begins from the 8th year, in the second - from the 4th. Actively bears fruit for 60 years, lives up to a century and a half. Asians widely use tamarind in landscape design, and even grow bonsai from it.

In India, tamarind is considered a sacred tree, and the sacred Indian monkeys liked it. They, like people, like its fruits very much. Tamarind is used for decorative purposes - for landscaping, and in Ayurvedic medicine, and in cooking. these types of use should be discussed in more detail. In this capacity, it is popular everywhere, not just in India.

Tamarind is a close relative of the carob tree, which also comes from the Cesalpinaceae family. It is about him that is told in the biblical parable about the prodigal son. The fruits of tamarind and carob tree are very similar. In biblical times, pods from these trees were fed to pigs, and the prodigal son, who worked in foreign lands as a swineherd, did not like them. What prompted him to return to his parents' house, and the subsequent story is known to everyone.

Tamarind fruits are long pods that outwardly resemble ordinary legumes and beans, only several times larger. This is not surprising, because the trees are from the legume family. Their content also differs in beans - inside there is something like "jam" with bones. Brownish-brown curved and pointed towards the end pods are formed in May (for the northern hemisphere). The pods are harvested in late spring or early summer, and up to 2.5 centners of pods are obtained from an adult tree. Some of them can be left to grow for another six months (up to six months), at the same time they will soften and become much sweeter. However, they are tasty prey not only for monkeys, but also for various insects that enjoy eating.
