Woodworkers have long searched for the ultimate tool
steel for their blades, so we set ourselves a goal of cre-

impact resistance and ease and speed of sharpening.
We started with a long list of steel types and narrowed
this down to 21 steel/heat treatment combinations. These
were then extensively tested for the above features and

of Oak was planed away and the equivalent of two entire
blades were reduced to dust!
The net result was an extensive
set of data for analysis.
When the results were analysed,
one metal emerged from these
tests as the clear winner: PM-
V11®. With this steel alloy, we
have hit the sweet spot in bal-
ancing performance and ease
of sharpening. Tests showed it
is far more impact resistant and
holds an edge far longer than A
or O1, yet is as easy to sharpen
as A2.
