All knives offered by Olde World Forge are hand forged/crafted. Knives are forged from a variety of steels to include 52100 Bearing Steel, 1095 High Carbon Steel, Stainless and some very beautiful Damascus Steel, and of course Railroad Spikes.
A variety of handle material are used to include: Stag Horn from Whitetail, Red Stag, Mule Deer and Elk as well as Camel Bone, Buffalo Horn, Ram Horn, Micarta and a variety of Exotic Woods.
Each knife also comes with a sheath that is made from quality cowhide.
Micarta
Today Micarta high pressure industrial laminates are produced with a wide variety of resins and fibers. The term has been used generically for most resin impregnated fiber compounds. Common uses of modern high pressure laminates are as electrical insulators, printed circuit board substrates, and knife handles.
Rockwell Hardness
The Rockwell hardness testing is done by a gauge that forces a diamond-tipped probe, often called a cone, into the metal being tested. The depth of penetration for a given amount of force is measured and converted to a scale of relative hardness. This scale is called the Rockwell C scale. The hardness rating is usually abbreviated Rc.
You don't necessarily want the highest Rc rating you can find. When the rating is in the middle 60s, the steel becomes so hard that it can shatter like glass.
Each steel alloy has a hardness range that is optimum for it when used in a knife blade. For most knives, a rating between 54 and 60 seems to be the most ideal.
Damascus Steel
The production of Damascus steel dates back almost 1000 years to the Ottoman Empire. Although the original production methods have been lost to time, the use of modern steels and forging techniques have allowed us to produce an excellent substitute.
Today, anytime 2 or more steels (each with different qualities) are forged together in layers, it is commonly referred to as Damascus and generally produces some striking patterns in the finished product.
Most of today’s Damascus steels are excellent choices for the production of knives and swords.
