Product Description
VG-1 Stainless Steel has outstanding ability to retain an edge and far proven structural strength. VG-1 represents a level of performance and functionality now available with a stainless steel blade.
4116 Krupp Stainless Steel is a type of surgical steel. The Balance of the carbon count and chromium content give this metal a high level of corrosion resistance and impressive strength. The edge retention from cutting tests exceeds blades made from the 420 and 440 series of stainless steels.
AUS 8A Stainless Steel is a high carbon, low chromium steel that is a great compromise between edge retention and resistance to corrosion.
1055 Carbon Steel borders medium and high carbon steel. 1055 Carbon Steel is one of the toughest types of steel available. when this type of metal is quenched, it produces a near saturated lathe martensite with no excess carbides. Thus method of steel craft avoids the brittleness that is sometimes present in higher carbon materials. Particularly suited for applications where strength and impact resistance are highly valued. This metal produces blades that can be considered practically legendary for toughness.
SK-5 High Carbon Steel is basically the Japanese equivalent of American 1080 high carbon steel and has a carbon rating somewhere between 0.75%-0.85% and 0.60%-0.90% manganese. When quenched, there is a hardness of nearly Rc 65 and it produces a mixture of carbon rich martensite and small amounts of un-dissolved carbides. The excess carbide increases resilience to abrasion and allows this steel to achieve an ideal balance of very strong blade toughness and edge retention ability. This grade of steel has been utilized for making a variety of quality hand tools. This type of metal has stood the test of time and use for many years and in many countries across the world.
5150 is a medium carbon type of steel with low alloy content. This type of metal is known to be very strong and impact resistant. Making it a metal of choice for high quality tool and knife designs.
