The Nitro-V Stainless Steel is a special type of steel that has been modified with the addition of Nitrogen and Vanadium. This modification enhances its performance, resulting in a steel with a very fine grain and excellent edge stability. The knife made from this steel has a fine, high-performance slicing edge that is perfect for precision cutting. Additionally, the Nitro-V Stainless Steel is easy to sharpen and has better edge retention compared to other steels like AEB-L. It is also known for its toughness, making it one of the most durable stainless steels available.
