The steel difference
Nitro-V
AEB-L with nitrogen added. Fine-grained, takes a screaming edge, easy to sharpen — a lot of steel for a mid-priced folder.
Sandvik 14C28N
Developed with Kershaw. Tough, rust-resistant, and about as easy to sharpen as a good steel gets — the reason it dominates the value tier.
