Niolox stainless steel is a good choice to make hunting or camp knives
NIOLOX is a stainless steel with a good toughness and a good edge holding capacity. The presence of niobium, which is a very powerful carbide former, in its composition makes it very wear resistant. Produced in Germany, this high quality grade is very fine grained which aids with edge stability and resharpening. Primarily used to make industrial knives for the food processing industry, Niolox has excellent corrosion resistance abilities. Those characteristics make this grade a good choice for hunting, camp or sports knives for example. A little piece of advice : get as close as possible to the final surface finish you're targetting before heat treatment. The high hardness (up to 62-63Hrc) and the presence of very wear resistant carbides makes it harder to polish and finish after heat treatment than other grades.
