Bohler N690 Is A High Quality Stainless Steel (Probably The Best In It's Price Range) With An Alloy That Is Common In Many Premium Knives.

Great Value In A Corrosion Resistant Knife Steel With Excellent Edge Holding Capabilities. Additions Of Chromium And Vanadium Enhance Edge Holding Capability, While Cobalt And Carbon Help To Retain High Hardness.

1) Greater Durability: Cryogenic Treatment Helps To Promote The Transformation Of Retained Austenite Present In Heat Treated Steels Into Harder Martensite Steel. This Results In Fewer Imperfections And Weaknesses In The Steel's Grains Structure.

2) Improved Wear Resistance: Cryogenic Hardening Increases The Precipitation Of Eta-carbides. These Are Fine Carbides That Act As Binders To Support The Martensite Matrix, Helping To Resist Wear And Corrosion Resistance.

3) Stress Relief: All Metals Have Residual Stress That Is Created When It Solidifies From Its Liquid Phase Into A Solid Phase. These Stresses Can Result In Weak Areas That Are Prone To Failure. Cryogenic Treatment Can Reduce These Weaknesses By Creating A More Uniform Grain Structure.
