The Knife Chart is the Mona Lisa for the knife enthusiast's living room wall and a beginner's guide to knife collecting. Knives: A Modern Guide to Our Oldest Tool features graphic diagrams and information on knife anatomy, lock types, blade grinds, traditional knife patterns, and heaps of ...
At the end of the day,edge geometry, andnotblade steel, is the most significant aspect of a knife with regards to real-world impact. A glorified pry bar of a knife will not become a super slicer just because it has a high carbide super steel that is conceived with edge retention in m...

Low alloy steels typically used by forging bladesmiths can have good toughness but the wear resistance and edge retention is relatively low due to the lack of hard carbides. 8670 is a good choice for high toughness and 52100 has a decent balance of toughness and edge retention. At this point...
Because MagnaCut has such high toughness levels, a knife blade can be made considerably thinner without the worry of failure. Using less stock thickness at the edge means you can make a lighter knife that cuts with less force than other knives. When you can create a product withless weight...
being produced in AEB-L was a roadblock as the steel was not widely known, and the composition was not exciting with only 0.68% carbon. Up until 2005 popular articles summarizing types of blade steel stated that AEB-L is similar to 440B stainless, which has a poor reputation [14]. In ...
so the top end austenitizing temperature is probably lower than 2150°F without it. Use a dry ice or a freezer if liquid nitrogen is not available. You would want to make your own “austenitize vs hardness” chart to ensure that the chosen austenitizing temperature isn’t too high. So...
Promising stainless blade steel with Co addition for enhancing substrate toughness and better grinding. Addition of 15% of Cr, 1% of Mo and 1,5% of Co makes the matrix (substrate) stronger and prevents carbides from dropping out. VG10 also has quadratic effect in high-tempereature (sic) temp...
