Blade made of HSS for carving knives, without handle, forged Blade length 50mm, total length with tang 90mm In contrast to the other tools from the Pfeil company, these carving blades only have a basic bevel. Information about the new HSS carving blades: The high-speed steel HSS (High Speed Steel) has a high proportion of molybdenum (5%) and tungsten (6%) compared to conventional tool steel. The alloy components molybdenum and tungsten, through the formation of carbide with carbon in the structure, ensure that the steel has a high tempering resistance and hot hardness, high wear resistance and edge retention as well as increased toughness with the same hardness compared to tool steel. The one used for the carving blades HSS is hardened to 62 HRC (Rockwell hardness). The big advantage of the HSS is the longer service life. The knife stays sharp longer, it does not have to be sharpened as often. Regrinding is more difficult - precisely because of the hardness. Soft and porous spec
