This stainless steel has toughness on par with some of the most impressive tool steels, like CruWear, CPM 3V, and CPM 4V. This is stainless steel that can take a beating at a level that has only been experienced on more niche steels like 3V and 4V. According to Thomas, “The new des...
the non-stainless PM steels extend all the way from Z-Tuff (very tough but relatively low edge retention) up to 15V (very high edge retention but relatively low toughness). To me the sweet spot is around the steel CPM-CruWear, 4V/Vanadis...
