Carbon V?

[Phil Gibbs]

Phil,
Would you happen to have exact chemical compositions of 0170-6 and 0170-6C?
Just want to keep database accurate

I believe pbcg has correctly provided the Sharon 0170-6 chemistry.
For 0170-6C use the chemistry for DM-1 provided on the A.G. Russell Steel Guide.
A.G. purchased the vast majority of the 0170-6C at the Camillus auction, and is referring to it as DM-1 (Dan Maragni 1).
Dan is also overseeing the heat treatment of all of A.G.'s DM-1 blades.

Thanks Phil.
I have DM1 in database, but note said it was developed for A.G. specifically, which apparently isn't the case.
So, to summarize DM1 is same as 0170-6C, and those two should belong to the same group.
and 0170-6 is slightly different alloy, belongs in 1095CV group...

Seems correct to me, although, as a non metalurgist, I get nervous about "groups".

This is the best info I have seen on the old Carbon V steel. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks everyone for the great info on the steel. I'm liking the knife a lot so far, it's pretty great.

Thanks for researching and posting this.

Very good info!

The bullets I quoted came from a different thread that I can't find now. I saved the notes and bullets but not the links.
