Laminated steel is a special type of steel that is created by joining two or more layers of metal. This technique involves stacking and welding layers of steel together. Each layer can have different properties, such as hardness, flexibility, color, or resistance to corrosion. In the case of a laminated steel knife, the layers are usually bonded together to create a blade with optimal properties. Some layers may be harder and hold the blade better, while others may be more flexible and resist breaking. This combination of properties makes it possible to create knives with high resistance, sharpness and overall performance. Sometimes the combination of layers is used to create shapes and images directly on the blade, bolster, or on the end of the handle. This method is very demanding and is carried out by carving individual shapes into softer steel and then forging with a different (harder) steel. Laminated steel is often used in the production of quality knives, where it is important to achieve an optimal combination of hardness and flexibility. This material is popular among knife collectors and lovers of quality butcher's utensils.
