Physical properties

Hardness: 5.5-6.5 (blade steel); Color: Metallic blue and silver; Luster: Metallic; Structure: Polycrystalline metal alloy; Specific Gravity: ~7.7-8.0

Formation & geological history

Modern industrial manufacturing; created via electrochemical or physical vapor deposition (PVD) to apply a titanium nitride or decorative oxide coating on a steel substrate.

Uses & applications

Used as a decorative or utility pocket knife, novelty item, or collector's display piece.

Geological facts

The vibrant blue color is not a natural property of the metal but an optical interference effect caused by a thin titanium oxide layer, often referred to as 'anodized' or 'titanium aura'.

Field identification & locations

Identify in the field by its metallic weight, synthetic dragon engraving, and blue iridescent finish which does not occur on natural stones in this manner. Not found in nature.
