Steel:
80CrV2
80CrV2 is a high-carbon tool steel known for its exceptional toughness and durability. It’s often called a “workhorse steel” because it can take a beating without chipping, making it perfect for hard-use outdoor and survival knives. It sharpens easily in the field and holds a keen edge for a long time, though its main strength is toughness over extended edge retention. If you’re looking for a dependable blade that can withstand heavy chopping, batoning, and everyday abuse, 80CrV2 is a great choice.
ProCut
ProCut stainless steel offers an excellent balance of corrosion resistance, edge retention, and toughness. It was designed for demanding environments where a knife may be exposed to moisture, food acids, and outdoor conditions. ProCut holds its edge longer than many carbon steels while still being relatively easy to sharpen. It’s a versatile option for those who want stainless performance without giving up the durability needed for serious work, making it equally at home in the kitchen or in the field.
AEB-L
AEB-L stainless steel is famous among knife makers for its ability to take an extremely fine, razor-sharp edge. Originally developed for razor blades, it excels in slicing performance and corrosion resistance. It’s easy to sharpen and maintain, and it’s especially well-suited for kitchen knives, fillet knives, and fine-edged tools. While not as tough as heavy-duty tool steels, AEB-L offers an outstanding cutting feel and is ideal for those who prioritize sharpness and precision.
