Vern Wimmer Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Is there any significant difference between the 80CrV2 from Aldo (New Jersey Steel Baron) and Alpha Knife Supply? I am not worried about price but AKS has some dimensions that would be a bit friendlier to a project. I must commit stock removal. As Grandpa said, "There's more than one way to skin a cat but you won't get a decent answer asking the cat which way he prefers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldo's might be a little tougher (more silicon) and not quite as hard (less chromium and Vanadium).
