Nitro-V Steel - What it is and How it Compares

[Larrin]

New article on Nitro-V about how it compares to other available steels. And a range of heat treatment experiments and toughness tests. https://knifesteelnerds.com/2019/09/23/nitro-v-its-properties-and-how-to-heat-treat-it/

Good stuff Larrin!

I've owned 14C28N but no Nitro V or AEBL (yet). I have been looking at some AEBL fixed blades from the makers forums.

Of course, the ultimate question about Nitro V is ... will it baton my wifes meatloaf? Rumor has it, only a lightsaber will baton my wifes meatloaf.

That depends on the edge geometry and heat treatment, of course.
