why is copper not used in knives so much?
I love copper and would like to use it more often in my knives.
The past couple of folders I have done got copper shields and even some copper handle rivets. I recently bought some small copper sheets to make liners for my next folders. But I have become aware of the concept of galvanic corrosion. Is this the reason that copper is not used in conjunction with steel or other metals? I thought this would only be a major problem if it is used with aluminum in an electric setting. I want to make some guards for fixed blade carbon steel knives from copper as well. Can anyone shed light here? Thanks. |
