AUS 8 Stainless Steel Steel AUS8-A is a martensitic stainless steel that is easy to under conventional steel 440C and has a carbon-chromium ratio of 0, 57/13% in the austenite, which is produced at a temperature of 1100 ° C Its hardness is the hardening oil and subsequent annealing at 150 ° C at 62 to 63HRC. Practical experience with the application can be found at companies such as Spyderco, Cold Steel, CRKT and cutler individuals - AG Russell. It is a knife Deerhunter (Russell), Kalypso Jr. (Spyderco), large and small Voyager (Cold Steel) and the already mentioned M16 (CRKT), who was ranked corrosion resistance and durability compared to steel VG-10 and D2. The knives Deerhunter (comparable properties) and less cutting ability than D2 steel, VG-10 and CPM-10V for tests Calypso Jr. when cutting rope, wood and laminate. Voyagers steel AUS8-A from fy Cold Steel, as compared with the medium blade of steel U2 are mainly large Voyager in cutting tests have shown very good results (with large Cold Steel Voyager firm won several demonstration test
