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.
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.
Oak cap and suvel
Cap and suvel are growths on tree trunks in the form of characteristic rounded inflows. To obtain such a workpiece is a dream for everyone who works with wood, and here's why. The fibers in such growths have a special deformed structure: their winding and chaotic growth creates a unique texture, which is called swill. But this is not the swill that is characteristic of, for example, maple. In the growth, it is very confused and has a number of features, thanks to which an incomparable wood texture is obtained. With its pattern and characteristic sheen, it resembles marble, mother-of-pearl or moire pattern. Such material is a real treasure for everyone who works with wood.
Cap and suvel have a similar nature, but they are not the same. They differ in structure, textured pattern, formation features and a number of other points that we have collected in this table.
Bag
The people call the kap a “witch’s broom.” There really is something repulsive about it, but only if you don’t know what miracle nature has hidden under the thick layer of bark.
What does a cap look like?
Location on a tree
Unlike the suvella, caps are rare. They usually occur on tree trunks or in the basal part. They are much less common on branches. Basal growths (cap roots) have a flattened shape, while stem or butt growths are more like a ball, often asymmetrical in appearance. As a rule, caps are located on one side of the trunk as a characteristic influx; less common are growths that cover the tree around the entire circumference. Both single specimens and entire cap colonies covering the tree trunk in small groups occur.
Formation and structure
The fundamental difference between a cap and a suvel is in the structure. If you look at a cap in section, it will be filled with small wooden knots - these are the so-called kidneys. While a suvel is simply deformed and chaotically intertwined annual rings. Thus, a cap growth represents a kind of reserve bundle of unopened kidneys, created by nature as a reserve. Why? Dendrologists do not have a common opinion on this.
Under the thick layer of bark, the cap and the suvel are practically indistinguishable from each other. The only thing that the cap can give out is the small green twigs growing on its surface. This is part of the same dormant buds that have only become active for some reason. Without the bark, the difference between the cap and the suvel becomes obvious. The surface of the cap is covered with cone-shaped protrusions, while the suvel is completely smooth.
Sizes
The sizes of caps vary greatly: from walnut growths to truly gigantic formations. The largest of the documented caps in the former USSR was discovered on the bank of a flat-leaved oak growing on Sakhalin. Its height was 1.4 m, and the circumference was 10.8 m. The sizes of caps depend on the location on the trunk and the tree species. The largest are traditionally considered to be basal caps, but their extraction turns into a difficult task and is impossible without sawing the tree. Large caps, weighing 300 kg or more, can often be found on walnut, downy oak, Mongolian oak. They grow 3-4 times slower than suvel and are very rare.
Texture
Kapov wood has a characteristic texture, thanks to which it is quite easy to distinguish it from souvel. On the kapo cut, dormant buds seem to be wrapped in numerous layers of wood fibers. Such nodules are somewhat similar to the texture of a “bird's eye”, but in the kapo they are not distributed so evenly. Here everything is chaotic: the buds merge with each other, penetrate each other, are absent in some areas, and accumulate very densely in others. All this creates complex lace abstractions, somewhat reminiscent of a malachite pattern.
Bird's eye (maple sapwood) and cap texture
The more dormant buds, the more complex and richer the wood pattern. Larger buds have fewer buds, so their texture is closer to suvels.
The biological role of caps
Both caps and suvels are often called diseases. This position is not entirely scientific, but it cannot be called unequivocally erroneous, at least because the biological role of the growths is still not understood. There are various hypotheses on this subject. For example, caps are considered a reserve supply of kidneys from which the tree can regenerate, for example, in the event of drought or partial loss of the crown. There is also an opinion that the growths increase the mechanical strength of the trunk, protect it from damage or prevent pathogens from entering. There are many assumptions, and all of them are convincing to varying degrees. However, most dendrologists agree that the ability of trees to form caps does not have a clear function - it is a kind of side effect of evolution, which was once more important than now.
Suvel
Suvel is a growth without dormant buds. Sometimes such formations are called "suvelval" or simply "svil". Unlike the cap, the structure of the suvel does not have woody knots, and all the beauty of the texture here is created by chaotically intertwined vessels. From such deformed fibers, a ball or drop-shaped influx is formed on the trunk. It grows three to four times faster than the cap and is found on trees much more often.
What does a suvel look like?
It is quite easy to distinguish a suvel from a kapa. Neither small twigs nor buds break through it. Under a strong layer of bark, the surface is absolutely smooth, without conical bulges, like a kapa. The whole beauty of the texture here is formed by the chaotic release of intertwined fibers. It does not just go in light waves, like in some tree species, but is gathered into dense folds, bundles, and plaits. The whole beauty of the pattern is enhanced by a special ebb, reminiscent of marble, mother-of-pearl, or a moire pattern. A kapa does not have such pronounced overflows.
Suvel changes its appearance more after finishing. For example, when deeply impregnated with colorless oils and carefully polished, the wood acquires a special “bone” texture. Because of this, suvel is sometimes even called wood bone. In some breeds, after processing, the svelte veins literally show through the structure of the material. This effect is highly appreciated by knife masters: most often they make knife handles from birch, walnut, and ash suvel.
The density of the souvel is lower than that of the cap. In this respect, it significantly exceeds the hardness of the trunk wood. Processing of the souvel of birch and other species requires certain skills, since, like the cap, it is not the most pliable material. But despite all the difficulties of working with it, there is no incomparable pleasure. The souvel is always a mystery: it is impossible to predict some amazing beauty of the pattern that will be revealed after the next pass of the cutter.
