Description

1.2510, 100MnCrW4, O1, SKS3, DF2, DF3

What is 01 tool steel?

2510 material with chromium-manganese content possessed good machinability, mechanical wear resistance and edge holding quality. Vanadium-Wolfram content reduces high working temperature wear and retention of temper temperature.

Is O1 tool steel good for knives?
O1 is a good steel for knives with great qualities like high hardness, excellent wear resistance, high toughness, high polish performance, and great edge retention. Its only weakness is poor corrosion resistance due to low chromium content.

How hard can you get O1 tool steel?
O1 Tool Steel is the original oil-hardening, “non-shrinking” tool steel that can be hardened to the Rockwell C 65 range from a low austenitizing temperature. O1 is a general-purpose tool steel that is typically used in applications where alloy steels cannot provide sufficient hardness, strength, and wear resistance.
