Chinese Deer Horn Knives

Choose from two world renowned steel grades, both with their own very unique blade characteristics;

1) Hard folded steel blade, which is a hammer-welded mixture of 1095 & 1060 high carbon steel, manganese spring steel, 1045 soft steel and many more smaller portions of other steels. This mixture is then folded multiple times to remove impurities, creating many hundreds of individual steel layers, finally producing arguably the best blade-making steel available.

The process and technique is renowned for smithing the finest combat knife blades, and certainly forms a very lethal foundational core to this deer horn knife. 

3) 1060 carbon steel blade, which is a modern, highly refined iron base-steel alloyed with 0.6% carbon, significant manganese, and traces amounts of other elements. 

It’s well known for its almost perfect balance of good blade strength, hardness, toughness, edge-holding capacity, as well as renowned elasticity and excellent resilience, with very similar characteristics to a spring steel blade. 

1060 carbon steel is without a doubt, one of the most versatile steels available, and arguably the best knife-making steel for battle. 

Classic, hand-made and traditionally executed, these Chinese knives are a treasure to own, and make formidable fighting weapons.
