M390
(1.9% Carbon (C), 20% Chromium (Cr), 1% Molybdenum (Mo), 4% Vanadium (V), 0.3% Manganese (Mn), 0.7% Silicon (Si), 0.6% Tungsten (W)) Very sharp, tough with excellent edge retention, also contains very hard tungsten. Very high wear resistance. Relatively high corrosion resistance - higher than N690. The steel is used in high-end knives and limited edition knives. Verified peak sharpening angle is 30º, i.e. 15º on one side. Carbide formation is reported to be around 20%. Excellent results for both coarser facet grinds and polished blades. The steel is compared with CPM-20CV and CTS-204P. Typical Rockwell hardness is around 62 HRc. Austria - Sweden / Bohler Uddeholm
