WÜSTHOF'S steel:
WÜSTHOF cutlery is made from top-quality German X50CrMoV15 high carbon stainless steel.
WÜSTHOF's work to engineer the best steel for knives & the formula they found (breakout below) is so effective, it became THE formula. Here's the breakout and what those elements do:
- X50 = steel + .5% Carbon
- Carbon makes iron (& steel) stronger and harder. High-carbon blades hold their edge better, and take a sharper edge. Without other metals, high-carbon stainless can (a) be brittle and (b) rust, so they add:
- Cr= Chromium makes stainless steel super rust-resistant.
- Molybdenum helps a steel maintain strength at high temperatures and makes it more ductile/ less brittle. It also increases corrosion resistant.
- Vanadium increases strength + wear resistance and makes the blade harder.
- 15 Chromium again increases rust-resistance.
