Knife Metalurgy -- Great information for MAKERS, USERS, and anyone interested.

[Claxton]

Phil Wilson at Seamount Knifeworks has written a group of excellent articles covering many of the CPM "Super Steels" used by various makers in blade production. He goes into the advantages and disadvantages/difficulties of different types, and all of the writings are easily understandable even for the novice. Great material to study up on and learn that can be a great advantage in this hobby of ours.

Thanks for the link. Good read, and makes me want to get back into my stash of Vanadis 10 (comparable to 10V with more chrome).
