I did a search on Nitro V but so far all I have found is info about the composition, HT, and makers who said they had some coming in. What I am wondering is if anyone has gotten to a point now where they have finished a knife from it and if they had any feedback. The Canadian supplier I use just bright some in and I was interested in maybe giving it a shot. Up here the price is about $7 CAD more per foot for 1/8x1.5. I have been fairly happy with the AEB-L I have been using, and wondered if you guys thought this would be a worthwhile improvement. I have quite a bit of thin AEB-L still for kitchen knives so I would be looking at 1/8 for hunters, just as a reference of intended use. I have also been using some CPM154, and being that the this NitroV is about $14 per foot cheaper up here, I was curious if it would be a viable trade off.
I fully understand that steel isn't the place to save money, I'm just wondering if anyone has comment on how good the steel is and if it would be a worthwhile buy. Thanks guys.
