Collection: 5Cr15MoV Blade Steel

5Cr13MoV is a Chinese made stainless steel widely used in the knife making industry.  The XCr13MoV standard is an easy way to assess knife quality with the X indicating Carbon / Chromium content.  Higher the number higher the content. So 7Cr13MoV steel contains more Carbon / Chromium than 5Cr13MoV. So 5Cr13MoV will not be as hard as and and have poorer edge retention than 8Cr13MoV for example.
