What's the matter with the colorful titanium Damascus knife?
This material is actually a titanium alloy that is easy to "make up". After heating or anodizing, a layer of oxide film can be formed on the blade, showing yellow, blue, or purple.
Abroad, some craftsmen imitate the process principle of Damascus steel and use several different titanium alloys for lamination to form a concave and convex pattern similar to hand-forged Damascus steel.
Then, heating or anodizing, so that titanium alloys of different materials will show different colors, creating this colorful "titanium Damascus knife". It is called Timascus in English.
I took a few pictures to feel the color change of titanium alloy during heating:
This colorful titanium alloy is often used by knife makers as a knife cover, such as the bolsters of some artistic knives, but not many people actually use this material to make swords.
Because titanium does not form carbides, the hardness is generally around HRC46, which does not meet the hardness standard of general swords.
Moreover, the surface of the blade is also easy to scratch.
Therefore, occasionally some knife makers will use titanium alloy to make knife handles, which feel lighter, or use it for some decoration, but rarely use it to make blades.
