Features
V1 and V2, washed steels carefully selected
from fine materials, hold as little as impure
substances such as P，S，Cu，As, which contributes
to excellent sharpness of V1,V2 knives.
- Fewer impurities
- Easy heat treatment
- Better workability （fire forging）
A small amount of chrome is mixed with this
V1 and V2 to improve the annealing or quenching
performance as well as enhancing ductility
and quenching capacity. Both thick and thin
cutleries show sufficient quenching hardness,
and excellent durability. They are hard to
break or bend. V1,V2 structure is entirely
adjusted when they are shipped. The adjustment
mentioned above means that hot rolling is
effective and perfect spheroidizing of carbide(cementite)
has been achieved.
Fine spheroidizing of cementite is important
for knives. It enhances ductility after quenching
and prevents cracks Annealing is sometimes
taken less important than quenching, but
slow cooling down such as furnace cooling
or ash cooling is significant in fire forging,
V1 and V2 are easy for spheroidizing annealing.
