When considering a new material for a performanceupgradefortheColdSteel®Tanto,we tested seven different grades of steel including Shiro 2, V-SP-2, 10A, 440C, VG-10, ATS 34, and VG-1.Physicaltestingforsharpness,edgeretention, point strength, shock, and ultimate blade strength showed that while many of the steels hadincreasedperformanceinoneortwotesting categories, only one, VG-1, showed the greatest performance increases in the most critical categories.Withanoutstandingabilitytoretain anedgeandprovenstrengthinpointandblade tests, VG-1 will provide Cold Steel® customers withsuperiorperformancepreviouslyunavailable inastainlesssteelblade.

AUS 8A STAINLESS
The words “stainless steel” are misleading, because, in fact, all steel will stain or show discoloration if left in adverse conditions for a suficienttime.Steelismade“stainless”byadding Chromium and reducing its Carbon content duringthesmeltingprocess.Thereisaserious performancetrade-offwithstainlesssteel.Asthe ChromiumincreasesandtheCarbondecreases, thesteelbecomesmore“stainless”.But,italso becomesmoreandmoredificulttosharpen,and theedge-holdingpotentialisseriouslyimpaired. This is usually why most stainless knives are rarely razor-sharp and quickly lose what little edgetheyhave. In contrast, at Cold Steel® we use AUS 8A Stainless,ahighcarbon,lowchromiumsteelthat hasprovenitselftobetheultimatecompromise between toughness and strength, edge holding, andresistancetocorrosion.
SAN MAI III
®
OurSanMaiIII®bladesarecomprisedofthree layers of laminated steel. Laminated construction is important because it allows different grades of steeltobecombinedinasingleblade.Asimpleway tothinkofthistypeofconstructionistoimaginea sandwich:Themeatcenterishard,highcarbonsteel andthepiecesofbreadoneithersidearethelowercarbon, tough side panels. The edge of the blade should be hard to maximize edge holding ability, butiftheentirebladewasharditcouldbedamaged duringtherigorsofbattle.Forultimatetoughness the body of the blade must be able to withstand impactandlateralstresses.Toughnessisgenerally associatedwith“softness”and“lexibility”insteel, sothat,surprisingly,ifabladeismade“tough”the edge won’t be hard enough to offer superior edge holding. San Mai III® provides a blade with hard (highercarbon)steelinthemiddleforakeen,long lastingedgeandtougher(lower-carbon)steelalong thesidesforlexibility.

The very best in materials and workmanship is what makes performance like this possible. The blade is made of vacuum heat-treated VG-1 San Mai III® laminated stainless steel. It’s costly and dificulttofashion,buttheresultingblade is virtually indestructible.
