STEEL
Bohler N690 is a high quality stainless steel (probably the best in it's price
range) with an alloy that is common in many premium knives.
Great value in a corrosion resistant knife steel with excellent edge holding
capabilities. Additions of chromium and vanadium enhance edge holding
capability, while cobalt and carbon help to retain high hardness.
On your choice we also can cryogenically process your knife.
Cryogenic treatment of certain metals is known to provide three beneficial
effects:
1) Greater durability: Cryogenic treatment helps to promote the transformation
of retained austenite present in heat treated steels into harder martensite
steel. This results in fewer imperfections and weaknesses in the steel's grains
structure.
2) Improved wear resistance: Cryogenic hardening increases the precipitation of
eta-carbides. These are fine carbides that act as binders to support the
martensite matrix, helping to resist wear and corrosion resistance.
3) Stress relief: All metals have residual stress that is created when it
solidifies from its liquid phase into a solid phase. These stresses can result
in weak areas that are prone to failure. Cryogenic treatment can reduce these
weaknesses by creating a more uniform grain structure.
All our knives are 100% handmade. We do not use any CNC machining to make our
knives.
