Knife Boker - one of the tools for survival

Damask knives have an excellent shape, ideal size, comfortable grip and unique finish. But still their main advantages are the unusual structure and excellent cutting qualities of metal, which are used to make the blade. Damascus is a kind of steel, on the surface of which a pattern is seen. To buy a knife from Damascus steel always meant to purchase a real decoration for your hunting gear.

Features of composite blades

In these knives, one of the layers is harder, since it is saturated with carbon. It is called to perform a cutting function. For high plasticity of the blade, it must be placed between two soft layers. This steel is easy to sharpen and is a certain shock absorber for a hard surface that is brittle. The figure on the blade is obtained as a result of several metal forges. So the layers begin to float on each other, and you get a very interesting pattern.

Knives from refined steel

A similar method is used for the manufacture of cheap products. In order to make them, you need a uniform layer of metal. During forging, the metal strip is folded in half, then stitched, bent again, and again stitched. The process is repeated several times. After such an alternation, the damask pattern begins to appear.
