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.
Stabilized stained hornbeam
What is black hornbeam? Deciduous hornbeam tree and its unusual properties
Description
Characteristics of wood
Black hornbeam
Before using any types of fasteners, the material must be pre-drilled. It holds screws and nails perfectly, which is well suited for securing furniture joints and complex parts.
When using fresh wood in everyday life, it is recommended to cut and round 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 quickly gets wet, is susceptible to damage by fungus and other biological pathogens. It is not used without additional treatment and finishing, and is not suitable for outdoor work. The twisted structure of the fibers and low ability to bond do not allow the use of hornbeam as a structural building material: plywood or glued beams. It is not used for outdoor work. Indoors, the surface of hornbeam should be covered with protective impregnations and thick layers of varnish. The material should not be used in rooms with high humidity.
Areas 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, and sports items. It is used to produce:
- golf clubs, billiard cues;
- weaving shuttles;
- agricultural implements;
- bodies and neck elements of violins, guitars, parts of pianos, and 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 pearly color and strength, hornbeam wood has high artistic value and is used in the creation of mosaic patterns, friezes, and decorative elements.
Hornbeam is used to make propeller parts in aircraft construction.
The average price for 1 m³ of wood, depending on the manufacturer, is $645–800.
It is believed that furniture or finishes made from this type of wood relieves fatigue, gives physical strength, helps coordinate thoughts and actions, and gets rid of a bad mood.
Black hornbeam
The light structure of the tree with a weak natural pattern makes it attractive for making various imitations. The method of pickling the material produces black hornbeam, which is similar in properties and appearance to ebony. For high-quality dyeing, nigrozins are used - special mixtures based on aniline, nitrobenzene and hydrochloric acid, dissolved in water or alcohols. They give the material a pure bright color that is not afraid of direct sunlight. Professional pickling involves dyeing the entire thickness of the material, rather than applying paint to the surface. It is not recommended to pickle wood yourself, because when using self-ignited chemical dyes, it can lose strength, become loose or be dyed unevenly. Skillfully made, black hornbeam imitated under ebony has a very dark purple hue that does not fade or fade over time, and does not smear when exposed to mechanical stress on the surface. Black hornbeam is sold in small batches as small bars.
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, which displaced the old one and took 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 the production 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.
Amber
Before the advent of this technology, mammoth teeth and bones were rarely used for making souvenirs, because they did not have sufficient strength due to the large number of cracks and delaminations inside. In addition, tooth enamel has high hardness, which quickly leads to the unusability of the saw when processed. A stabilized product is much easier to further process. Mammoth tooth has become especially popular in the manufacture of knife handles. It looks unusual, attractive, and if you add dye, you can create a unique pattern that can give even such a rare thing a special individuality.
Bright sunny amber stones are familiar to everyone since childhood. Sparkling drops of amber were in the boxes of our grandmothers and mothers, often amber jewelry was passed down as an inheritance and was a real family heirloom.
In fact, amber is the frozen resin of coniferous trees, which over millions of years has turned into transparent pebbles of rich yellow shades. Often inside the stone you can see a fly or a drop of air, because initially the resin was soft and could collect insects and tree leaves. Gradually, the amber hardened and under the influence of the earth it turned into a beautiful transparent stone. Ancient pines that grew on the seashore donated their juice to the earth, and therefore amber can most often be found where unique natural conditions contributed to the wide distribution of this unique natural stone. And now on the shores of the Baltic and North Seas you can imagine amber stones washed up from the depths of the sea. And amber is massively mined on special developments.
As a rule, in nature, amber is found in the form of small pieces, from which inserts for small jewelry are made by cutting - rings, earrings or bracelets. However, there are known cases when amber stones weighing up to 10 kg were found in nature, from which chic stands and exclusive souvenir products were made. In fact, amber stone is difficult to cut into small pieces, but it does not have all the hardness of marble or other minerals. The Greeks called amber an electron, since this stone has an amazing ability to accumulate an electric charge if you rub amber on silk or woolen fabric, after which it can attract small objects. It was amber that gave the name to electricity, and amber is also called Amber or the sun stone.
The magical properties of amber
Traditionally, amber products are in great demand due to the magical properties of the stone. A true natural gift, it has lain in the ground for millions of years and has retained all the power of the earth. In ancient times, amber was used as talismans and amulets. It is believed that amber gives its owner health and happiness. Jewelry with amber is perfect for all those who are representatives of creative professions, because the amber stone helps to concentrate creative forces, gives self-confidence and attracts positive energy. Amber perfectly relieves fatigue and fills its owner with vitality if you wear a ring with amber on the ring finger, through which the vein to the heart passes. Amber in the form of a pendant will protect against the evil eye and bring good luck in business, as well as strengthen health.
In the old days, it was believed that a woman should definitely wear an amber stone while expecting a child, as amber helps ward off the evil eye and helps with childbirth. A nursing woman should wear an amber necklace so that the child eats well and is healthy and cheerful. And an amber stone under the pillow scared away evil spirits and helped to ward off lightning from the house during a thunderstorm.
Amber has always been considered a symbol of spiritual connection and in religious ceremonies a small amber stone was often set on fire, emitting a pleasant smoke of incense. In church rituals, this stone is still used today to fumigate children at baptism and newlyweds at weddings, for a long and happy life.
