Handle Material

KB Knives uses titanium (Ti)  and G10 for the handle material. You can find more details of Ti and G10 in the next two articles.

Titanium (Ti) is one of the most common chemical elements, it belongs to the 4th group of the periodic table. It is a lightweight, durable metal of silver-white color. It is on the 9th place among natural elements, its content in the earth's crust is 0.57%, and in seawater - 0.001 mg/l by weight.

Titanium has a number of significant advantages over other metals. First of all, high corrosion resistance. The corrosion process in titanium can be started only by the most aggressive chemicals - concentrated sulfuric, hydrofluoric and orthophosphoric acids. In relation to the manufacture of knives, its high strength also plays a key role — titanium is equal in strength to the highest quality grades of steel, despite its relatively low density.
