About M3 :

Macro-Molecular Metals (M3) are part of the new breed of composite materials that make everything from the Stealth Bomber to the International Space Station possible.  Additionally recognized for its astounding aesthetic properties, gem quality finish and heirloom characteristics; M3 Metal Composites allow the artisan to transcend the barrier between art and craft and transform handcrafted objects into the finest heirloom quality luxury goods.

 

These materials are made with high purity metals and other exotic elements that have been deconstructed to the macro-molecular level, re-alloyed and then reconstructed with highly refined chemical binders.  Heat, pressure and an exothermic chemical reaction cause the molecules to cross link forming a new material with a unique macro-molecular structure.  Because the molecules are distributed homogenously the new material gains the benefit of all the unique characteristics of the individual components.

 

Originally developed for aerospace and the military the engineers at M3 Composite Industries (M3ci) uncovered a host of aesthetic qualities that build on the remarkable benefits of these materials.  The proprietary M3ci process together with the natural interplay of the metals and elements creates exotic metal colors, beautiful random wood grain patterns and metal combinations that were never before possible.  Deep, dimensional, mirror finishes with galactic star field qualities make for a surface that is mesmerizing and lasting. 

 

Engineered to be dense and stable with a high strength-to-weight ratio, M3 will hold the finest of detail.  Colors and patterns run completely through the material and the finished product is beautiful, lightweight, very strong, comfortable to wear and to touch and will last for many generations.

Product Description

Mokume-Gane (pronounced Moe-koo-may Gah-nay) is the ancient Japanese metal working technique where layers of contrasting color metals such as copper, brass, nickel silver, gold, and silver are fusion welded with very high heat and pressure into one solid block of metal.  Traditional Mokume-Gane is extremely rare and sells for hundreds if not thousands of dollars for a very small quantity. This is not traditional Mokume-Gane. It is M3 Mokume-Gane, which is a new composite material made out of contrasting M3 metals which share the visual characteristics, the wood grain of Mokume-Gane for a fraction of the price. In this case we have used the finest copper and the brightest aluminum to create our version of this ancient art. Available in various shapes and sizes this beautiful material will polish to an extremely high gem quality shine or you can be creative and patina with chemical patina agents.

Product Description

Damascus steel is a hot-forged steel used in Middle Eastern sword making from about 1100 to 1700AD. Damascus swords were of legendary sharpness and strength, and were apocryphally claimed to be able to cut through lesser quality European swords and even rock.  Damascus swords often had an obvious patterned texture on their surface due to the high carbon content and the folding and hammering of the blade.  True Damascus is very expensive costing thousands of dollars for a very small amount.  M3 Damascus shares the same visual characteristics as the original for a fraction of the price. We have used High Carbon Steel layered with bright Stainless Steel to create our version of this ancient art. Available in various shapes and sizes this beautiful material will polish to an extremely high gem quality shine or you can be creative and patina with chemical patina agents.
