Nitro V

[Doppler Bob]

Anyone sharpened Nitro V? What does it compare to? What about in holding an edge?

It’s basically identical to AEB-L/13C26.

Its tougher than D2 but doesnt hold an edge as well. It's easier to sharpen than D2, I would say it sharpens like 14C28N (or similar sandvik). Good woods knife steel, also great stainless qualities as well.

If S110V was a 9 out 10 in tough to sharpen, NitroV would be like a 3, D2 would be like a 4, S30V would be like a 6.

Take it with a grain of salt

Thanks! That’s a very good explanation in simple terms.
