ProCut, new steel, it’s a good one 👍

I did not order any knife steel yet and i'm happy that i didn't! Looking forward to the full knife steel nerds post on this,
 
Is it tougher, or less tough than 15n20?

If it's a super charged version, good numbers comparing it at equal hardness would be great.

I love 15n20, so this would be interesting.

I'm glad Pops had a variety of thickness. Ill probably try some
 
anyone have pics of it etched in a billet with something dark? I had some in my cart ,but went the 15n20 way until I see some contrast.
 
When using ProCut as a stand alone steel for a knife would it benefit from cryo?

Not sure why the difference in color (maybe time, darker been sitting a couple hours at room temp, lighter fresh out of kiln).
I used to get fine grain out of 15n20, but nothing as fine as either of these two coupons.

The knife I profiled is in the tempering oven now. Granted, I have only cut out one knife, but this stuff works and machines as good as anything I have ever used.
 
I've got 4 bars ordered a couple days ago...

Not super how close to 15n20 this will be?

I like 15n20, 8670, Wolfram....
It will be interesting how it compares?
