Du LV-04 … C'est quoi ?

[Tigre Blanc]

Comme le titre le dit , c'est quoi de l'acier LV-04... Je regarde un site avec un petit fixe dans ce type d'acier...
Bon ou pas?

Steel Chemistry – Lone Wolf Knives
You have probably noticed that some of the steels used in our products are not listed on
common blade steel charts. These new blade steels have been developed for our products by
working closely with several major steel producers to develop proprietary- steels based on
modifying the chemistry of their better blade steels. The LV-04 steel used on the Loveless fixed-
blade knives was developed because there was not an existing steel that had the properties desired
for this product. Working with Bob Loveless we established how we wanted the steel to perform
and then challenged a major steel producer to meet these requirements. The result was what we
decided to call LV-04. The steel has high carbon content with Molybdenum & Vanadium for
flexibility and added edge retention. You can also forge this steel. This was the key to producing
the Loveless fixed-blade knives in a closed-die forging tool. This was our goal and we had to
develop a special steel to reach it. This was a challenge to say the least but the resulting product
forged from this steel has outstanding cutting properties and excellent corrosion resistance.
Because R. W. (Bob) Loveless pushed us hard to find or develop steel with these properties we
gave it the LV prefix in honor of Mr. Loveless. The LV-02 and LV-3 steels will be used in his
folding knives and have specific key properties of their own for each application. We list the
chemistry of these steels below but keep in mind that chemistry is only one part of the blade
performance equation. As with many things how you use what you have is more important than
what you have. The strict controls we follow on the heat treatment, cryogenic deep-quench and
tempering sequence all add up to some of the best performing steels ever used in knife blades.
Like a good recipe with premium ingredients the key is in the blending, handling and technique
used to bake and cool the dish that will make it the best it can be.
We are working hard to develop materials and techniques never before used to provide
exceptional performance and value in our products.

Oufti... Rien à dire.… Tu es le meilleur... (après ton super beau et gentil toutou )
Que penses-tu de cet acier dans un usage quotidien?

[arthur]

c'est pas l'acier qui était utilisé pour leur City knife ?

je regrette de ne pas avoir pris celui de Dago, d'ailleurs...mais bon, c'est trop tard.

Que penses-tu de cet acier dans un usage quotidien?

Connais pas du tout.

Pas possible... Quelle lacune

Faut un peu prendre des risques dans la vie...vas-y , achètes !

Des risques... J'en prend tous les jours ou presque …
Avec ça je ne sais tjs rien sur l'appréciation de cet acier

[michelS]

Faut parfois se faire une opinion perso aussi...

[Tigre Blanc]

Ok...merci

Fais un procès au forum, c'est une honte, pas moyen d'avoir un avis détaillé et argumenté en 40 minutes !

ça c'est ben vrai ça... cré vint diou
