About BDS
Carbide crystals in BDS x 100
Boye Dendritic Steel, BDS, is a new, revolutionary stainless blade steel with carbide crystals. It will hold an edge 2-50X longer than other stainless and non stainless cutlery alloys. A fresh edge can be put on in less than one minute.
The difference between BDS and other knife steels is a result of the way it is made. Most knives are made from a roll of forged steel. BDS is made by investment casting, pouring molten 440C stainless steel into individual porcelain molds. As the metal cools, a crystalline pattern of chrome carbides grows throughout the entire blade.
This unique micro-formation is responsible for the penetrating cutting, superior edge holding, and ease of sharpening of each Boye knife. The blades have a "micro-serrated edge" that keeps cutting even when the knife feels dull.
The cutting power of a 8" BDS knife: Over a 15 hour period, 3,000 pieces of 1" hemp rope were cut without resharpening the edge.
