S110V Steel - History and Properties

[Larrin]

A new article finishing off the series on very high edge retention stainless knife steels. I wrote about the history of the steel, the design including why it has cobalt and niobium, and then show my tests on the steel including hardness, corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention. I also compared it to S90V and M398 and included guidance on when to select which high edge retention stainless. https://knifesteelnerds.com/2020/11/23/cpm-s110v-steel-history-and-properties/

Larrin - allow me to say THANK YOU!!! for all your work and sharing of knowledge. While I don't use those exotic (high dollar) alloys it's fun to read about them. For SS I tend to stay with AEB-L or 14C28N when I can get it.

I haven’t had the time to read this one yet. Hopefully in the next couple days. Thank you for continuing to provide us with these articles.
