Product description
A couple of years back I purchased two bars of NJSB's proprietary steel, Nitro-V, intending to make bowies with it, but that plan never really came to fruition. Instead I've used it to make a couple of more workhorse oriented blades in my Sabatier styled pattern. In spite of the thick stock and micarta handle, the blade is actually still relatively light, owing to its heavy distal taper and nail flexing grind.
Nitro-V is a modification of AEB-L that includes a nitrogen addition as well as a smidge of vanadium. It practice the steel's properties land somewhere between AEB-L and 14C28n, though nearer to AEB-L than the latter.
