i 77 shut down today It's similar in composition to VG10 if that helps you any. F Franciscomv Joined Messages 2,876 #3 They are both awesome steels.It offers toughness and edge retention close to the well liked D2 tool steel but is easier to sharpen and a true stainless steel with slightly better edge . However, D2 is tougher, so it would tend to be better for some camping tasks such as chopping. Disadvantages: Can be relatively difficult to sharpen (compared to carbon steels and softer stainless steels).VG-10 is more rust resistant, so it would tend to be better for food preparation.

Advantages: Toughness, edge retention, corrosion resistance. For this reason, its one of the best steel for corrosion resistance.What it is: CPM 154 is the "Crucible Particle Metallurgy" version of 154 CM stainless steel, and is widely regarded as a "super steel" for its properties and performance. Corrosion Resistance: It includes 15.5% of chromium is great evidence of the excellent corrosion resistance of the VG10. And the VG 10 is hard steel that offers great edge retention. paypal is your security code don't share your code Edge Retention: It comes with 60HRC steel.

I will be focusing on CATRA edge retention which measures abrasive wear of knives. Edge retention is the ability of a knife to maintain cutting ability during cutting. In the context of a knife this would be chipped edges or broken knives.

Toughness is a measure of how much resistance a steel has to fracturing.
