FYI Nitro-V is made by Buderus Edelstahl, a German subsidiary of Böhler-Uddeholm.

I believe Nitro V has better strength to resist deformation on edc tasks like zip ties and impact against cutting things on a table, but 14C has a better carbide type for abrasive cardboard.

I haven't personally tried Nitro-V yet, but I love 14c28n as a budget steel and it's less expensive than what I've seen Nitro-V going for. There are some Ruike knives with 14c28n for ~30 bucks (p801, p661/p662).

Thanks for sharing. There’s so many steels I don’t believe it really makes a big enough difference in which you choose. Unless it’s a special use and just for everyday carry either one will do so cost is what will make the difference in which to purchase. I own over 600 knives and weight and size mostly determine which i carry.

Millet knives had some decent nitro-v. I dunno if they Still make knives lol. I like both for mass production knives in budget knives.
Both with custom heat treatments can be improved. As the budget versions can be brittle at the geometry they are usually using.

Thank you brother I greatly appreciate it

I agree with Rusty. 14c28N all the way.

14C28N and Nitro-V is great steels. They aren’t “super steels”, but they are great.

I much prefer a great steel that isn’t a “super steel”, over a “super steel” that isn’t great.

Love my para3 LW in BD1N. Really like the polish it takes, and hangs on to the edge long enough for me. Also like the strop-ability. Meaning to give Nitro-v a try. Haven’t used 14c much. Assume it’s good too based on comments. Might grab a USA Kershaw in it.
Thanks for the content.

I got a knife made of 14C28N steel to use for my EDC. Should I apply WD occasionally, or is it not necessary?
And after applying WD, can I store the knife directly in the Kydex sheath?

Are both of these better than 9cr18mov?

[vrab.]

Would you take 154 cm over both of these?

[rustyknifelover]

I have used both and slightly prefer 14C28N easy to strop and decent retention.

🇺🇸🙋‍♀️🐴🍃 Good info, and are good slim carrys.

Ability to field sharpen is the key steel metric a real user knife is measured on. For use handle comfort your use case come in but the metric is no hot spots. Lastly comes the lock on a folder or the sheath is on a fixed blade for no fuss useability and robustness.

[SFBay]

I have both..like nitro v a tad better

[joelamaro]

The overwhelming vast majority of reviews I’ve seen nitro-v wins out. I watched a TON of reviews before I decided to go ahead and buy a Ferrum Forge Stinger. Can’t wait for it to arrive.

I found that his video is best watched at 1.5 speed. (he talks too slow and there are large gaps of silence in between sentences) Keep in mind that as you/we age (get older), wasting time is a higher priority as remaining time (life span) gets shorter and shorter on this Earth.
