Which Knife Steels Have the Best Corrosion Resistance

[Larrin]

I generated a simple method for predicting the corrosion resistance of knife steel, and then ranked them all. https://knifesteelnerds.com/2019/01/14/which-knife-steels-have-the-best-corrosion-resistance/

So AEB-L is not only tougher than many of these super steels, it is also more corrosion resistant?

Interesting! Thanks Larrin!

I need to read this one all the way through, rather than skimming it. Interesting what you can do with the software.

I’ve made a few knives out of nitrogen steels lately, and I quite like them. For everyday use, I don’t know if they offer a lot beyond regular stainless steels, but they are seen as exotic. Z-FiNiT performs similarity to aeb-l, and vanax is similar to S35VN. How much corrosion resistance do we really need?

Very interesting read that sent me back to previous articles to correlate across them.

Thank you
