80CrV2 has been around for many years under the common nickname “Swedish saw steel.”

80CrV2 is a extremely tough with the ability to be readily forged and ground alike, and like 5160, only need a very simple heat treat that will meet all the expectations of seasoned pros and be more forgiving to makers just beginning.

80CrV2 steel is a high-carbon tool steel that contains chromium as well as vanadium in quantities high enough to affect the strength and hardness of the crystalline matrix of the steel. Vanadium is an element that is added to steel alloys that are typically used to produce excellent edge retention. Vanadium is prized in knife-making because it produces very durable carbides at the molecular level of the cutting edge. Tool steel, heavy equipment, and even nuclear reactors use vanadium in their construction.

It also has all the great qualities of 1075/80 plus the added benefits of high chrome like 5160
