Steel composition directly influences edge retention, durability, and sharpening needs. High-quality steels like VG10, D2, and CPM-S30V offer long-lasting sharpness with superior performance. ALBATROSS knives incorporate expertly heat-treated steel to deliver high-end durability, corrosion resistance, and cutting power, making them ideal for EDC, camping, and tactical use.

Powder metallurgy is a cutting-edge process that produces ultra-strong and high-performance knife steels. Compared to traditional steel, PM steel offers superior edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. ALBATROSS knives focus on high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, ensuring long-lasting performance for outdoor, tactical, and everyday carry users.

Knife steel choice impacts edge retention, durability, and sharpening ease. 8Cr13MoV is a budget-friendly stainless steel with good toughness and easy sharpening, while VG10 is a high-end Japanese steel known for its superior edge retention and corrosion resistance. ALBATROSS knives use both steel types, ensuring options for everyday users and professionals alike.
