This chef's knife I just completed and is getting ready to be shipped out. The OAL of knife measures at a little over 14". The cutting edge is right at 9 1/2". The handle material is black G-10 with red, white, and blue G-10 liners, and mosaic pins. The steel is 3/32" Nitro-V from NJ Steel Baron. One of these days I'll get a decent photo setup other that the iPhone but until then...IMG_1227.JPG IMG_1228.JPG

Tell me more about Nitro-V if you could please!

I just recently started using it. Prior to using the Nitro-V, I was using AEB-L. The Nitro-V has nitrogen and vanadium added to the AEB-L which is supposed to increase the blade's ability to hold an edge, and reach a higher RC hardness. So far, all I can say is that I like it.

Would that be tougher and harder? Or just harder? Is the heat treat much different than AEB-L?
