Burns, Blades and Banter

80CRV2 is a low alloy knife steel known for its simplicity in chemical composition, making heat treatment straightforward. It achieves remarkable hardness, rendering it one of the toughest steels available.

(80CRV2 Composition: Carbon 0.8%, Chromium 0.5%, Manganese 0.4%, Vanadium 0.2%, Silicon 0.25%)

On the other hand, 440C stainless steel offers high hardenability and superior corrosion resistance due to its ample chromium content. With larger carbide sizes than AEB-L, it boasts a toothier edge for enduring cutting performance.

(440C SS Composition: 78 – 83.1% iron, 16 – 18% chromium, 1 – 1.2% carbon, 1% max silicon, 1% max manganese, 0.8% molybdenum, 0.04% phosphorus, 0.02% sulphur)
