HAP40 Steel

HAP40 is a semi-stainless powdered high-speed steel that CKTG has nicknamed Voodoo Steel for its almost uncanny ability to hold an edge. Heat-treated to 65-67 HRC by the best makers, it outlasts virtually every other steel on the site between sharpenings while remaining sharpenable on quality water stones. Better corrosion resistance than carbon, better edge retention than most stainless - a remarkable all-around performer.
