Hi,
Looking for fellow makers who have any experience with this material, maybe even possession. This steel is a 5% Cr family PM Tool Steel which shows excellent (around or beyond CPM3V) toughness and great edge stability. Currently impossible to find it. Only saw it with a few custom makers and Survive knives (who custom roll the material). I try to find some of this material for testing in reasonable size.
If you have any experience with the steel or its heat treatment, if you know any source to purchase, please do not hesitate to share. I already contacted Bohler Uddelholm for availability, but custom rolling for this material with the minimum quantity is beyond 50k USD without Tax. Obviously thats beyond reach for most of the Custom Makers
Thanks
Zoltan
