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 matter

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

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. Hornbeam is sold in small batches as small bars.
