Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
U8A blade steel is a tool carbon steel characterized by high hardness (60 HRC) and excellent cutting properties. Due to this level of hardness, the blade holds sharpness well and shows excellent wear resistance during intensive work on wood, roots, and dense materials.
