Chromax

Chromax steel is more resistant to corrosion compared to high-carbon steels, but it’s still classified as semi-stainless. This means it’s less likely to rust, but can still develop a patina over time and react with acidic foods like fruits and vegetables. In terms of sharpening, it behaves much like a high-carbon steel. It can be hardened to a remarkable hardness of 65 HRC. The composition of Chromax steel includes 1% Carbon, 5% Chromium, 0.9% Manganese, 1.2% Molybdenum, and 0.5% Vanadium.
