Product description
Copper Mai (also known as Cu-Mai or Gomai) is a type of pattern-welded Damascus steel that incorporates copper layers into the steel billet. This creates a visually striking contrast between the warm, reddish hues of the copper and the metallic sheen of the steel. The copper layers are typically sandwiched between layers of carbon steel, such as 1095 or 15N20, for strength and durability.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
* Pattern Welding:
Copper Mai builds upon the traditional Damascus technique of layering different types of steel and forging them together to create a layered pattern.
* Copper Addition:
The key difference in Copper Mai is the inclusion of copper layers, which can be sheets or wire, into the billet.
* Aesthetic Appeal:
The copper provides a warm, reddish contrast to the steel, highlighting the pattern and adding a unique visual element.
* Strength and Functionality:
While visually appealing, the copper layers also contribute to the overall strength and durability of the blade, particularly when combined with a strong core steel like 1095 or 80CrV2.
* Popularity:
Copper Mai has become a popular trend in knife making, with blacksmiths like Coy Baker at Baker Forge & Tool helping to popularize the technique.
