MATERIALS
Most of Brian Lyttle’s knives are made from his own Damascus steel. Some are made from ATS 34 and a few from straight high carbon steel. Brian’s Damascus is made from 2 high carbon steels, O1 and L6..

The composition of these steels is as follows:

	O1	L6
Carbon	0.90%	0.75%
Manganese	1.25%	0.70%
Silicon	0.30%	0.25%
Chromium	0.50%	0.80%
Tungsten	0.50%	1.50%
Molybdenum	---	0.30%

This combination makes a tough blade and it has superior edge holding quality. Brian Lyttle does not use any mild steel of any kind in his Damascus steel, nor does he use straight nickel, except in material which is to be used for decorative purposes only. (Back to top)
