Titanium Artisan Proponent AK Blog Trivia Question Giveaway
Posted by Jul . on
The AK Blog Trivia Question.
Every week (or so) we will post a trivia question here on our blog for our fellow AK'ers to answer. After the giveaway's duration, we will announce the winner on our YouTube show, AK Blade, and/or here on our blog.
Here's the best part, sometimes the trivia questions will involve real life prizes such as this week. A winner will be chosen from the correct answers posted. That person will win a Titanium Artisan Proponent Knife, courtesy of Atlantic Knife and Artisan Cutlery. The winner will be announced in approx. 2 weeks.
Good Luck Fellow AK'ers!

Vikings added carbon (in the form of bones from animals and their dead ancestors) to iron and made it into steel, making their knives stronger. Though they had not set out with this intent (of making a stronger knife, the result was a better weapon.
They found the sweet spot ratio between iron and carbon. The adjustment of carbon was done (kind of awesomely), by adding bone ash. The blades became sharper and more durable.
