Maybe you mean element instead of mineral? If that's the case, knife steel is composed of a variety of elements to achieve specific characteristics for the knife. Some common elements in quality cutlery steel are:
-chromium
-molybdenum
-vanadium
-manganese
-carbon
other elements are used as well but these are just a few of the "core" elements that are more commonly found. As an example, steel with a higher carbon content will be tougher and less prone to chipping however it will corrode faster than a more "stainless" steel. If you have a blade with a high nitrogen content, the knife will be very resistant to corrosion but may not be quite as tough.

What is the maximum pressure band saw blade tension?
There is no such thing as a maximum tension. That depends on the ability of the saw to apply tension-an 18 inch industrial saw can apply more tension to a blade than a 6 inch hobby saw-and the ability of the blade to withstand tension before snapping. The blade's ability to accept tension depends on its size (width and thickness, not length) and the material used to make the blade. A 2 inch blade withstands more tension than a one inch blade of equal thickness. Some steels and carbide are usually brittle (accept static tension) while others are more flexible and better at handling tension while moving.
What are the differences between rip saw and tenon saw?
A tenon saw has a rigid, solid rectangular blade about 12inches long and 3-4 inches wide, and around a 1/32 inch thick and has a reinforcing strip of metal along the top edge of the blade to keep it straight and rigid. It is used for cutting wood joints accurately, and can only cut in straight lines. A copingsaw, however has a much thinner narrow blade stretched in a frame shaped like a 'D' with the upright of the 'D' being the blade. The handle is in line with the blade. Coping saws are used for cutting round and complicated shapes out of wood (or, with a suitable blade, metal). The thin blade means that the saw is able to cut out complex shapes accurately as the saw blade can reach small corners and follow quite complex shapes. A fret saw is very similar to a coping saw except that the 'D' shaped frame is very elongated and the blade very fine and thin. This saw is used for cutting intricate decorative shapes out of thin wood. A scroll saw is a motorised fret or coping saw where the blade moves up and down through a metal table. Instead of moving the blade through the wood or metal, the wood or metal is moved round the moving blade, producing the intricate cut.
How is the saw used today?
In many ways, in hand form, in rotary blade form as in table saws and in continuous blade form as in bandsaws.
