Hello All,
Here's the second of 2 stainless clad S90V petties I've been working on as of late. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this steel, S90V is a very high wear resistance PM stainless steel. It has similar toughness to the white steels, but has edge retention that's more than double that of the typical carbon steels and AEB-L.
I worked very carefully on these knives to get the cladding lines as low as possible to ease future thinnings. On this blade the cladding even touches the secondary bevel, though it does not cross the apex anywhere. The edge is still 100% S90V
Thanks for looking!
