This steel is amazing stuff. Its a 3rd gen. powder metal that has very high wear resistance and toughness. With a fine grain structure. It takes a crazy sharp edge and should hold a working edge for a very long time!

Here is a link to Zknives web site where I did a comparison on Elmax next to 2 other well known performers in the kitchen. I love this site, if you have not checked it out yet take a few and give it a look. Lots of great info and photos etc. http://zknives.com/knives/steels/steelgraph.php?nm=elmax,cpm154,aeb-l&hrn=1&gm=0


Anyone interested in this knife is welcome to message me or post here and I will contact you to exchange info.

Thanks and God Bless

Nice knife.
I lost interest in that site once I clicked a link and wound up with Busse, Swamp rat and Chris Reeve The only thing missing was fat boys with mean facial expressions whacking away at slabs of pork.

That's really nice, Randy. How did you get Elmax that hard? I am thinking it for kitchen and tactical knives, but most of the data I see says 59 or 60 tops.

I guess that goes back to ... Ya cant believe everything ya read. I did get a solid 63 RC on this one. And that was after a 4 hr soak in LN and then 3 temper cycles. The darn thing got harder after temper. I seen the data available and even without a cryo quench I was getting 61/62 from this stuff!

God Bless
