Virtues of 99Cr18MoV steel

For jaktkit Knv knives to achieve the desired performance several different steels have been tested. All based on CrMoV versions which proved to have many of the desired characteristics inherently.



9Cr18MoV (officially called 90Cr18MoV according to revised standards) showed very favourable results, however we where confident that even better results could be achieved.



For this reason we contacted one of the R&D intensive steelworks who is a front-runners in CrMoV steels. The outcome of our cooperation is the 99Cr18MoV steel.



The 99Cr18MoV steel is in many ways similar to 90Cr18MoV (9Cr18MoV) but with higher level of Carbon, wich is alls reflected in the 99Cr18MoV name. Together with generous levels of Vanadium it shows a very pleasing combination of hardness and toughness.



90Cr18MoV (9Cr18MoV) being specified with carbon levels of 0,9 % (tolerances 0,85-0,95 %)

99Cr19MoV has carbon level of 1,08% (tolerances 0,96-1,2 % )

Some testers have described 99Cr18MoV as a 440C steel on steroids, a statement we will not dispute.

Current jaktkit 99Cr18MoV formula (+/- tolerances):

C: 1.08

Cr: 16.90

Mo: 0.45

V: 0.11

Ni: 0.23

Mn: 0.50

Si: 0.60

S: 0.01

P: 0.03

Cu 0.08

Al: 0,03

Ti: 0,008



This formula can change as we see fit to make our knives even better, without warning or excuses!
