SK-5 steel is Japanese carbon steel. The metal can either have low, medium, or high carbon content. Some of the steel’s main characteristics are edge retention, resistance to wear, impact resistance, toughness, and hardness.

2023年10月23日 · With its reputation for being one of the toughest steels on the market, SK5 is highly sought after by knife enthusiasts and professionals alike. Made of high-carbon steel, SK5 offers exceptional hardness and edge retention, making it ideal for applications that require superior cutting performance.

SK5 steel (SK85 material) is a carbon tool steel commonly used in Japan. After quenching and tempering, it has high hardness and good wear resistance, but the hardness decreases at high temperature. It is often used as a material for tools such as hammers and saws. SK85 is the name of the new JIS G4401 standard to replace the old name SK5.

Sk5 is a Japanese low/mid-range Carbon steel. It’s used in a wide range of tools (Razor blades, utility knives, scalpel blades, long edged tools, cutting tools) due to its workability, hardenability, price, and other features. 0.9% of Carbon: It improves hardness and wear/corrosion resistance, but a high amount of it decreases strength.

2021年3月14日 · SK-5 is a hard steel made up of approx. 0.80% carbon and up to 0.90% manganese. On the HRC scale, it ranks at approximately 65. It is ideal for most knives.

2009年3月25日 · SK-5 is equivalent to American 1084. It's a reasonably good steel for large field knives, not as good as Carbon V (0176), but a good steel for what Cold Steel uses it for.

2024年9月23日 · SK-5 steel is a high-carbon steel commonly used in making pocket knives due to its balance of hardness and toughness. It is known for its ability to hold a sharp edge, making it ideal for cutting tasks.
