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.
*It should be remembered that if the knife is used for its intended purpose and with careful handling, the knife will serve you for a very, very long time.

The crown and crown of an oak tree
Kap and souvel are growths on the trunks of trees in the form of characteristic rounded swellings. Getting such a blank is a dream for everyone who works with wood, and here's why. The fibers in such growths have a special deformed structure: their tortuous and disordered growth creates a unique texture called swill. But this is not the flexibility characteristic of, for example, maple. It is very tangled in growth and has a number of features, thanks to which an incomparable wooden texture is obtained. With its pattern and characteristic ebb, it resembles marble, mother-of-pearl or moire pattern. Such material is a real treasure for everyone who works with wood.
Cap and souvel are similar in nature, but they are not the same. They differ in structure, textured pattern, features of formation and a number of other points that we have collected in this table.
Capt
People call the cap a "witch's broom". It really has something repulsive, but only if you don't know what miracle nature has hidden under a thick layer of bark.
What does Capt
Location on the tree
Unlike the souvel, mouthpieces are rare. They usually appear on the trunks of trees or in the basal part. They are much less often formed on branches. Basal growths (caproot) have a flattened shape, while trunk or bud growths are more like a ball, often asymmetrical in appearance. As a rule, mouthpieces are located on one side of the trunk as a characteristic influx; growths that cover the tree all the way around are less common. There are both single specimens and whole cap colonies covering the trunk of the tree in small groups.
Formation and structure
The fundamental difference between a cap and a souvel is in the structure. If you look at the cap in section, it will be filled with small wooden knots - these are the so-called kidneys. Whereas souvel is simply deformed and chaotically intertwined annual rings. Thus, the cap growth represents a kind of reserve bundle of kidneys that have not opened, created by nature as a reserve. Why? Dendrologists do not agree on this.
Under a thick layer of bark, cap and souvel practically do not differ from each other. The only thing that can give off a cap is small green twigs growing on its surface. This is a part of the same sleeping kidneys that have only been activated for some reason. Without the bark, the difference between cap and souvel becomes obvious. The surface of the cap is covered with cone-shaped convexities, while the souvel is completely smooth.
Dimensions
The sizes of the drops vary greatly: from growths of walnuts to truly gigantic formations. The largest of the documented kapa on the territory of the former USSR was found on the bank of a flat-leaved tree that grew on Sakhalin. Its height was 1.4 m, and the length of the circle was 10.8 m. The size of the tips depend on the location on the trunk and the type of tree. The largest are traditionally considered the basal kapa, but their extraction turns into a difficult task and is impossible without cutting down the tree. Large mouths, weighing 300 kg or more, can often be found on walnut, downy river, Mongolian oak. They grow 3-4 times slower than the souvel and are very rare.
Texture
Kapa wood has a characteristic texture, thanks to which it is quite easy to distinguish it from suvel. On the cut, the dormant buds seem to be wrapped in numerous layers of wood fibers. Such nodules are somewhat similar to the "bird's eye" texture, but they are not so evenly distributed in the cap. Here everything is chaotic: the kidneys merge with each other, penetrate into each other, are absent in some areas, and in others they accumulate very densely. All this creates complex lacy abstractions that somehow resemble a malachite pattern.
Bird's eye (maple sapwood) and cap texture
The more dormant buds, the more complex and rich the pattern of the wood. In large kapa there are fewer kidneys, so their texture is closer to suvels.
Biological role of caps
Both kapa and souvel are often called a disease. Such a position is not completely scientific, but it cannot be called unequivocally wrong either, at least because the biological role of growths is still not understood. There are different hypotheses about this. For example, the cap is considered as a reserve supply of kidneys from which the tree can regenerate, for example, in case 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 disease-causing agents from getting inside. There are many assumptions, and all of them are convincing to varying degrees. However, most dendrologists agree that the ability of trees to form crowns has no clear function — it is a kind of side effect of evolution that was once more important than it is now.
Suvel
Suvel is growths without dormant buds. Sometimes such formations are called "suvelval" or simply "svil". Unlike the kapa, the structure of the souvel has no wooden knots, and all the beauty of the texture here is created by chaotically intertwined vessels. From such deformed fibers, an influx in the form of a ball or a drop is formed on the barrel. It grows three to four times faster than kapa and is found on trees much more often.
What does the souvel look like?
It is quite easy to distinguish a souvel from a cap. Neither small twigs nor buds break through it. Under a strong layer of bark, the surface is completely smooth, without conical bulges, as in a cap. All the beauty of the texture here is formed by the chaotic release of interwoven fibers. It does not just go in light waves, as in some species of trees, but is lost in dense folds, bundles, bundles. All the beauty of the pattern is enhanced by a special ebb that resembles marble, mother-of-pearl or a moiré pattern. There are no such pronounced overflows in the cap.
Suvel changes its appearance more strongly after decoration. For example, with deep impregnation with colorless oils and careful polishing, wood acquires a special "bone" texture. Because of this, souvel is sometimes even called a wooden bone. In some rocks, after processing, the veins are literally visible through the structure of the material. This effect is highly appreciated by knife makers: most often they make knife handles from birch, walnut, and ash sapwood.
The density of the souvel is lower than that of the cap. In this, it significantly exceeds the hardness of the trunk wood. Processing birch sapwood and other species requires certain skills, because, like sapwood, it is not the most pliable material. But despite all the difficulties, working with him is an incomparable pleasure. Souvel is always a mystery: it is impossible to predict that some amazing beauty of the drawing will be revealed after the next pass of the cutter.
