Are you looking for an excellent knife steel that offers great mechanical properties ? Our K720 knife steel is the right choice! This carbon steel is valued for its exceptional combination of toughness and high hardness , making it the ideal material for knives that must withstand tough handling.

Key properties of K720 steel:

• Excellent toughness: Even with its high hardness, K720 steel maintains above-average resistance to chipping and cracking , which is key for blades exposed to impact or lateral pressure.
• High hardness: After proper heat treatment, the steel reaches a hardness of 60-64 HRC . This high hardness guarantees extremely long-lasting sharpness and excellent cutting properties.
• Above-average wear resistance and sharpenability: Thanks to its composition, K720 offers above-average abrasion resistance , which means that the knife will maintain its sharpness for a long time of use. At the same time, despite its high hardness, it is very easy to sharpen , which makes blade maintenance easier.
• The ideal black component for Damascus steel: K720 is a popular choice as a “black component for Damascus steel.” Its high carbon and manganese content reacts with acids during etching to create deep dark, contrasting layers that give your Damascus a beautiful and dramatic look.

Important note: K720 steel is carbon steel and "does not resist corrosion very well, K720 knives need regular care." To maintain the beauty and functionality of the knife, regular cleaning and lubrication are recommended.
