Developed through years of metallurgical research, HNW-7 is a high-carbon chromium stainless steel optimized for knife making. Its fine carbide distribution enables a razor edge while maintaining exceptional corrosion resistance.
Carbon: 0.55% — optimal hardness without brittleness
Chromium: 15% — superior stain resistance
Vanadium: 0.2% — fine grain structure for sharper edges
Molybdenum: 0.8% — enhances edge retention and toughness
Hardness: 58-60 HRC after cryogenic treatment
