    Premium Blade-Quality 420V Stainless Steel Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Stainless Steel. Premium Blade-Quality 420V Stainless Steel Bars.
    A top pick for knives, 420V holds the sharpest edge of all our stainless steel. It contains vanadium, so it's harder and stronger than other 400 series types. This makes it a good alternative to tool steel in food- and chemical-processing applications when you also need corrosion resistance. The maximum temperature for corrosion resistance isn't rated. Also known as S90V stainless steel.
