K110 steel for knives - features, pros and cons
At the moment, there are many possible materials for the production of knives. Depending on the purpose of production, different materials are used. Moreover, the content of the main substances of different grades of steel can differ significantly. The most typical grades of steel are high-carbon types of steel. Among them, you can find many types of materials that differ among themselves in the number of additional elements. One of the best grades of steel for hunting knives is K1100 from the Austrian company Böhler.
Composition and features
Böhler K110 steel is a high-carbon composition with a high chromium content. The metal is stamped by the method of cold stamping. Metal is produced by one of the largest metallurgical concerns in the world. Factories are located in Europe, North and South America.
In the production of K110, the technology of electroslag remelting is used. Due to this, the quality of the material increases significantly. Due to the presence of various undesirable impurities, serious defects may appear during mechanical forging. To avoid this, the method of electroslag remelting is used. During electroslag remelting, before the start of hardening, the melt is passed through a layer of special slag, which removes foreign elements from the molten metal, such as phosphorus, sulfur, and much more.
The method of electroslag remelting provides the final result with low levels of segregation, purity and homogeneity of the structure. In Böhler K110, the percentage of harmful impurities is significantly reduced and the compounds of metals and non-metals with carbon are evenly distributed.
Therefore, such a metal has a complex composition and is able to withstand even very thin corners during forging. One of the main advantages is extremely high strength and viscosity. It is preferable to harden such material in the air. If necessary, the nitriding method is used. Böhler K100 is used for forging knife products of the medium and high price segment.
Metal composition:
- It contains 1.5% carbon, which provides higher strength and hardness.
- Chromium content is 12%. This metal provides an increased ability of steel to be hardened, resistance to rusting and wear.
- Molybdenum 0.8% is used for the production of high-speed steel. It significantly increases the rigidity of the blade, makes it resistant to high temperatures.
- The percentage share of vanadium is 1%. This chemical element has high strength. Strengthens the elasticity characteristics of the material and makes it resistant to various aggressive environments.
- Manganese - 0.35%. Manganese is used during smelting. It significantly increases the hardness of the material. A characteristic feature of manganese is that various objects requiring high strength are made from steel with a high content of the chemical element. For example, safes, rails and much more.

Main advantages
Any steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, but their ratio in the substance will directly affect the characteristics of the finished product. This type of material is produced by electroslag remelting. And due to the high content of impurities, the increased strength of the material is formed.
The main advantages of K110 steel from Böhler include:
The main requirement that applies to all knives is sharpening. However, the sharper you sharpen the knife, the faster it will dull. However, this rule does not apply to K110 knives. Due to the high concentration of chromium in this steel, the resistance to wear is significantly increased. Therefore, the cutting edge will always be sharp. However, the use of such impurities reduces corrosion resistance. Although the knife will not rust very quickly.
The presence of a high percentage of molybdenum in the composition provides the material with the uniformity and homogeneity of steel. This is very important for a knife. A small amount of vanadium increases the strength and durability of the material, and manganese in contact with chromium significantly increases strength.
After a lot of tests, it was found that even after a lot of processing bones and opening cans, practically no serrations appear on the blade. The blade continues to be able to cut the newspaper under its own weight.
Due to the combination of various impurities in the composition of the substance and the method of manufacturing steel, knives made of this material are distinguished by an extremely long service life.
Increased resistance of the blade to various aggressive environments, which include some internal organs of animals. Therefore, the knife will not darken and rust for a long time.
The main disadvantages
The disadvantages include:
It does not have high breaking strength. Therefore, it is undesirable to throw products, check for the ability to bend.
Blades from this material are usually made with a small size and a narrow focus. These are hunting knives specially prepared for processing carcasses. They are usually used by the inhabitants of Siberia and the North. However, the sword will be able to show its excellent properties only with competent preparation and sharpening. Otherwise, it is very easy to spoil the cutting edge. However, if such care is provided, knives with K110 will be equal to and the characteristics of blades made of higher quality steel.
Conclusion
K110 from Böhler from the Austrian manufacturer is one of the highest quality products for forging knives. Despite the demanding care of the blade and the mandatory condition to dry thoroughly after contact with water, a knife made of such metal will serve for a very long time in the right hands. Therefore, it is definitely worth buying K110 knives and tools from the Austrian manufacturer. They can last a long time.
Asian buffalo
This is one of the largest animals belonging to the bovine family. The body length reaches 3 m, the height at the withers is 2 m. Large males can weigh a ton or even more. The horns of these animals are in the form of a crescent moon, directed in different directions and slightly backward.
The color of the animals is gray. The wool is not thick and moderately long. On the forehead it forms a small tuft. The body of this animal is massive, powerful, the limbs are strong, muscular. The hooves are large and cloven.
The head resembles a bull's, with a more massive skull. The eyes and ears are small. The tail is thin, long, with an elongated tuft of hair at the bottom.
African buffalo
It is slightly smaller than its Asian relative. Its height is up to 1.8 m at the withers, its body length is 3 m. It weighs slightly less.
The African buffalo is black or dark gray in color. This animal has pronounced sexual dimorphism: females are much smaller than males. Females also have a less powerful physique. Their horns are shorter and thinner.
The African buffalo has unique horns. Their bases in adults are fused, forming a kind of shield of bones. It is so strong that a rifle bullet cannot pierce it. The horns at the base diverge to the sides, bend down, and then with the same smooth bend go up and inward. Young individuals do not have such a shield of horns.
The African buffalo has very poor eyesight. It receives information from the surrounding world through its highly developed sense of smell and hearing.
In normal circumstances, the animal roars and snorts. In extreme circumstances, it moos loudly.
Lifestyle
The buffalo grazes at night. It spends the day in the shade of a tree, in a swamp, where the temperature is lower. It sleeps or chews gum. Often a puddle or hole can be a shelter from the heat. It needs a daily watering hole. During the day, the animal needs up to 40 liters of water. In this regard, the buffalo never moves further than 4 km from water.
Females with calves are especially sensitive. They are constantly on the alert, showing their anxiety. When alarmed, the buffalo raises its head and throws back its horns. A quiet sound is enough for the herd to flee from danger. In case of serious danger, the animals can reach speeds of over 50 km/h.
Buffaloes are reluctant to enter the water. However, they are good swimmers.
Buffalo habitats
Back in the 19th century, this animal was common in sub-Saharan Africa. Today, buffalo populations can be found in Southern and Eastern Africa, where human interference in the biosphere is least noticeable.
Buffalo can live in savannahs, tropical forests, mountains (up to a height of 3 km). The animal feels best in savannahs, where there is year-round access to drinking water and juicy food. Buffalo does not live far from water bodies. Due to human extermination, the animal is most attached to protected areas: there you can meet herds of hundreds of individuals.
Demeanor
In the north of Tanzania there is a national park near Lake Manyero. It is here that the largest population of these herbivores is found. The animals are attracted by the spacious pastures located in the green zone between the lake and the mountain slopes. Some adult bulls do not associate their lives with the laws of the herd, preferring an independent existence. The large size and large strong horns are a sufficient reason to feel safe.
Important decisions for the herd are made by high-ranking females, and controversial issues are resolved in the form of a special form of voting. Closer to lunch, the herd settles down to process the morning feed. Sometimes the leading females raise their legs, turning in the direction, while the others carefully follow them. As a result, the herd moves further in the direction chosen by the "majority of those who voted."
At this time, it is time for procedures related to personal hygiene. Local species of woodpeckers and herons are happy to provide their services in cleaning the skin, in exchange for insects collected under the fur. Thus, the birds help the buffaloes regulate the populations of parasitic insects capable of carrying pathogenic microbes. The immune system of an adult buffalo allows it to cope with almost all common diseases. However, weakened individuals can become victims of parasites.
Black hornbeam
Black artificially stained hornbeam is one of the most popular materials for knife handles.
Black stained hornbeam imitates the texture of ebony, which is a rare and valuable wood.
The features of black hornbeam include:
- High hardness of the material;
- Viscosity;
- Resistance to shock loads.
Tolerances in dimensions +/- 1-2mm.
HANDLE MATERIAL - MAMMOTH TUSK
Mammoth tusk is a rare raw material used to make decorative items, such as knife handles, gun grips, and jewelry. It is a unique natural element that is rarely found, so its value is quite high.
Today, mammoth tooth, after certain processing (stabilization), is widely used by master knifemakers. Stabilization is the process of polymerizing the material under vacuum with or without the use of fat-soluble dyes, while the material is impregnated with polymeric substances throughout.
MAMMOTH TOOTH HANDLE MATERIAL
Mammoth tooth is a manufactured material of animal origin. Its exceptional feature is the fact that its source is extinct animals - mammoths. Paleontologists have established that they lived on Earth about 10 thousand years ago, and their number was very large. The teeth of mammoths were not permanent and changed about four times during their lives. The fallen teeth, which modern scientists find during excavations, become the basis for decorative elements, including knife handles.
Due to the long stay in the soil, the material acquired a very unstable structure - the enamel became rock hard, and the dentin, on the contrary, became loose. But modern technologies for stabilizing materials have helped turn mammoth teeth into an excellent basis for creating luxurious knife handles. The polymer composite provides the products with resistance to corrosion and moisture, and the natural base gives a unique texture and intricate pattern.
Material features
Mammoth molars are used to create various products. Outwardly, they resemble elephant teeth, but they have a much different shade. Given the historical value and rarity, mammoth tusk is especially highly valued, since this animal became extinct long before our era. Tusks of prehistoric giants can be found not only in paleontological museums, but also on the shelves of jewelry stores, they are used to decorate the interior, used to create various decorative elements - of course, not in their original form, but in processed form. The
age of the material, according to scientists, is 10-40 thousand years. How mammoths lived has not been fully studied today. However, the remains of these giants found by scientists, their bones, teeth, even whole carcasses have allowed scientists to make serious progress in this field of research. The available data made it possible to find out what the mammals looked like, what they ate, what climatic conditions they lived in, what behavioral characteristics they had (for example, whether they led a herd or solitary existence).
The mammoth ate practically the same as a modern elephant: its diet consisted of plant food. In the world, the animal could feed on coniferous plants. They preferred rough food, which they easily chewed with their strong jaws and teeth, similar to large plates. An interesting feature of the mammoth's body was that as the old tooth wore out, a new one grew, displacing the old one and taking its place. Thus, the animal could change its teeth several times during its life. Absolutely all teeth changed in about a ten-year period, and the average life span of a mammoth was 40 years. In other words, one animal could survive an average of four complete changes of molars. It is because of this feature that people often find individual worn mammoth teeth but do not encounter other traces of it.
Appearance
If you look at a mammoth tooth, you can see a heterogeneous surface with ribbed edges. Bone, enamel and soft tissue in this case alternate. The material has a rather complex structure:
Its basis is dentin.
The dentin layer is covered with protective enamel.
It is worth noting that the mammoth had only 4 molars and 2 tusks, which protruded outward and served mainly for self-defense.
After special processing, the molar can be used to make various jewelry products. The density of the material is very high and resembles stone. In order to process such a product, the master needs to spend a lot of effort and time.
Raw material stabilization
To prevent the tooth and tusk from collapsing during use and manufacturing of products from it, stabilization technology is used. This is a crucial stage of processing, in which the following technologies are used:
Polycondensation.
Vacuum processing.
Application of special dyes.
All cavities of the tooth are filled with a polymer substance, due to which the base acquires reliable protection from climatic influences. Such a product does not deform, cracks do not appear on it, it becomes able to withstand high temperatures. The appearance of the material also changes, becomes more attractive and unique.
