Niolox Lohmann

Niolox (Niolox Lohmann; 1.4153.03)
(0.8% Carbon (C), 12.7% Chromium (Cr), 1.1% Molybdenum (Mo), 0.9% Vanadium (V), 0.7% Niobium (Nb)) Stainless steel with relatively good edge retention. It contains Niobium, which forms hard carbides very easily, thus helping the knife to be more resistant to blade wear. Although the steel is not made by powder metallurgy, its texture is quite fine. Similar blade endurance as the D2 tool blade. Typical Rockwell hardness up to 60 HRc. Germany / Lohmann
