80CrV2 tool steel manufactured by Thyssenkrupp in Hohenlimburg Germany.
Thyssenkrupp is a leading steel manufacturer, who also have subdivisions manufacturing everything from military naval vessels to automotive components and elevators. With such a wide variety of products, it was just a matter of time before someone in the knife-world jumped on something.
The find was of course 80CrV2, which is a carbon tool steel, and was originally designed for springs, circular saw blade and various cutting tools. As such, 80CrV2 has excellent shock resistance even compared to much more expensive steels. Edge retention and wear resistance are also good, which makes this a serious contender for knives. The addition of Vanadium in the steel is even sought after because it produces extremely durable carbides at the molecular level. Ultimately, these carbides make up the cutting edge on every knife, and here durability is king.
The toughness of the steel has stood the test of time well. It is by far the most used steel in the Finnish Puukko industry. Predominantly in factory blades, but the steel has gained popularity among custom makers as well. Availability and price are two important factors for the success, but workability is maybe even more important. Here 80CrV2 shines as well as it is often recommended for beginners along with similar steels as 1080 or 1084+.
At the basic level, heat treating 80Crv2 is relatively easy. It will harden and be usable when heated to approx. 830-880C and dipped in oil. Then just temper in the oven for an hour or two at 200C to take down the hardness. This said, much better results will be achieved when applying annealing cycles and hardening at more exact temperatures. This is something everyone has to master with their own tools and machines.
Overall, 80CrV2 is a good balanced carbon steel that is well suited for large and small knives alike.
