Takefu V2 Special
V-Toku2 is excellent alloy blade steel, which has the following advantages within the Takefu "V-Steel" range.
1. low impurity
2. easy heat treatment
3. Strong temper
4. Good processing (hot forging)
The elements Ch (Chromium), W (Tungsten) and V (Vanadium), form hard and compact carbide in the steel which improve durability.
High hardness and high strength are achieved by the addition of W (Tungsten), which combined with Cr (Chromium) to enhance the steel properties, which, produces a well-balanced steel to make annealing easier and improved hardenability.
