What is 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blades?

Answer:
8C13CrMoV--A Chinese steel--It might be OK but as far as I am concerned it's not quality stuff.Gotta love well reasoned scientific analysis.



I really wish I could afford to run this experiment.

Start by having a dozen "sets" of eight knives each made. Each set would contain eight otherwise identical fixed blade knives in:


8Cr13MoV (at the hardness used in the Tenacious)

VG-10 (at the hardness used in the Caly 3)

ZDP-189 (at the hardness used in the Stretch II)

CPM S30V (at the hardness used in the Native)

420HC (at the hardness used in the Buck 110)

AUS-8 (at the hardness used in Boker Plus Trance)

N690Co (at the hardness used in the Volpe)
