Damasteel® RWL34™ Steel, 38 x 2.6 x 245 mm

Description

RWL34 is a powder metallurgical steel based on ATS34 steel. ATS34 was originally developed for ball bearings by Kobe Steel in Japan. The internationally renowned knife maker Robert W. Loveless was the first to use this Japanese steel with its excellent qualities for knives. Damasteel improved the steel properties of ATS34 due to its powder metallurgical and consequently ultraclean manufacturing process. The powder metallurgically produced variation was named after the knife maker Loveless (abbreviation: RWL). Untempered (annealed) for simple processing. Hardenable up to 64 HRC.

The steel has the following outstanding qualities:
  • Rustproof
  • Excellent durability
  • Highest purity - for a homogenous microstructure and ease of sharpening
  • Incomparable toughness - extremely resistant to breaking, bending and impact stress
  • Easy processing
  • Excellent polishability
For more information on processing and a hardness chart see our instruction manual.

Manufacturer

Damasteel

At the beginning of the 1990s, the company Erasteels established a powder metallurgy steel division in Sweden which was later called Damasteel AB. Powder metallurgy technology had already been in use for over twenty years at this point. But even though the steel quality was greatly improved compared to standard production methods and alloys became possible that could not be produced before, it took time to become widely accepted on the market. Using the same technology, the company began producing rustproof Damascus steel and patented this new process. Soon, several large knife manufacturers and smithies saw the potential of the new material which is now also available for end users in a multitude of patterns and sizes.
