S90V and S125V – History and Properties

[Larrin]

New article about S90V and S125V, including how they were developed, toughness and edge retention, and information on heat treating them. Also, the history of these steels in knives, how knifemakers perceived the steel early on, and why they aren’t mainstream knife steel choices. https://knifesteelnerds.com/2020/09...eel-history-properties-and-how-to-heat-treat/

This article is so awesome.
I'm definitely going to try S125V soon. Once I get an oven. And figure out how to keep RA down to an absolute minimum.
