PSF 27 steel? Anyone use it?
PSF 27
I'm looking into this steel. http://sb-specialty-metals.com/grades/psf27 According to this spec sheet, PSF 27 has similar toughness to A2 but has twice the edge retention and 12% chromium too boot. I'm liking that. It appears to be a spray form of D2. How does it sharpen? Anyone have any insights? Thanks in advance. |

Lots of carbon, lots of vanadium - good luck grinding that stuff!
The web site mentions that it can be used for knives, but they don't sell a size that would be convenient. (I see 24x72.) This is the first time I've seen this alloy mentioned on TKN. __________________ God bless Texas! Now let's secede!! |
