Why is M390 considered a "Super Steel"?
Knives made from M390 belong to the highest category of premium and collectible knives. Their popularity among professionals and enthusiasts comes from the unique balance of elements such as chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten.
- Extreme edge retention: M390 holds an edge significantly longer than standard stainless steels. Even after demanding use, the knife remains functional without the need for frequent sharpening.
- High corrosion resistance: The high chromium content ensures excellent resistance to moisture, acidic environments and sweat, making it an ideal choice for everyday carry (EDC).
- Outstanding wear resistance: Thanks to the high volume of vanadium carbides, the blade surface is extremely hard and resistant to mechanical wear, allowing the knife to maintain its premium appearance over time.
- Microclean technology: This process minimizes impurities in the steel, increasing blade toughness and preventing unwanted chipping during use.
Applications of M390 steel knives
This material excels where conventional steels fail. It is the first choice for high-end folding knives, professional hunting tools and premium outdoor gear. For users seeking the perfect balance of performance, elegance and low maintenance, there are few better alternatives available today.
