Urban AEB-L

[anthony cheeseboro]

I bought an Urban with AEB-L steel, and I can certainly see that that steel was developed for use in razors because it takes a stupid sharp edge! I sliced boxes, and it was like they were whipped cream! I know AEB-L is related to Sanvik steels like 1428N so it might hold an edge forever, but damn if it doesn't get sharp!

It is very tough, like a stainless 52100. It will not hold an edge like xhp, but it will roll and not chip.

It is the same as Sandvik 13c26

I have two customs in it, and certainly am enjoying how easily it sharpens up!!

Thanks, I knew it was equivalent to one of the Sandviks.
